My father was b onna farm In 1917 way upstate new york. I wasnt there when he passed but hes a scotsman i remember so well. Heres a salute to all our fathers who served, and the ones who stayed home to keep the home fires warm. Cc🎉
Some 55 years ago when I was 10 years old my older brother took me to see The Black Watch in downtown New Orleans. I will never forget it and it has resonated in my heart and soul ever since.
I'm an Englishman, & the pipes will always resonate in my heart & soul, I promise you.
A better thing has never been heard than when they begin with
"Scotland the Brave"
Even an old Irishman like myself is brought to tears.
I liked this one , myself, dealing plainly one to one, forgive
forget
but never
forsake
This is from me, havah
God bless our allies. Texan by birth, American veteran (USAF), yet the pipes will ALWAYS tug at my heart. Peace be with you Scotland. Thank you.
My grandfather everytime he heard the pipes he cried .....I asked my father why and he said .....son when the old man heard them it brought two things to him .....going over the top and funerals .....but you are right they do tug at the heart strings and to a jock ....they stir the emotions beyond belief and before and going into battle they steel the heart and they let the other guys know that .....We be coming and it the jocks so you are warned .......even on D Day Lord Lovat had his piper (against all the rules ) pipe his brigade on the beaches ......and as we all know it had the desired effect. Your country and mine will always stand together we are maybe small but we stand
As a fellow Texan, thank you wholeheartedly for you service, and they tug at mine too.
Crescent City Kid but has done the US economy greatly. He is right though NATO allies is using USA like a piggy bank, taking advantage. But even with that the US always gets their back.
Agreed brother!
@@graemedonaldson9060Love it.
Scotlands' coming up 1st and 4most top o' the bunch!! Bravo🎉😮
The most inspiring music in the world.
I first saw the massed band,pipes and drums in Kansas City in 1963. To this day the sound of the pipes lights a fire in my belly! I remember a passage in the program that stated " It's takes seven generations and seven years to make a piper". Ah for the good old days!
I was born in Perth, Perthshire, home of the Black Watch. Yeah and I am proud of it.
I was born in Belfast(American parents). The o'lidy tartan has been long lost I proudly wear the black watch in all my kilts.
'Devils in skirts'. I'm English, but I have great respect and admiration for the Scots Nation. They have contributed so much to the history and culture of these beautiful Isles of ours, and have been prominent for centuries in the arts and the sciences. And their martial prowess is legendary. That is why today I am overjoyed that the Scots have voted to remain within the United Kingdom. We are four Nations, and Glory to that; but our Union is greater than the sum of its four parts.
Aye maybe so ......maybe it should be noted here that the Watch really now are only a mere battalion of the RRS ......if you now look at the TOS they were a cap badge .....we never did.....we wore the red hackle alone ......and controversially here hopefully one day England will get home rule lol.....make of that as you will
Proud to be Scottish,Proud to have served and proud to be British the same as you my friend.
once again in english.......@@graemedonaldson9060
Ladies from Hell, to the Germans.
Hi 👋 rites t@@bigbrent1319 djduieriireie is a eye 👁 I’verxvzasmdsejosh
The dude in the beginning yelling out the marching orders is awesome! I wouldnt mess with him!
My Granddad was a pipe major in ww1. He also served some time in ww2. He never complained nor spoke of the wars He served in. My Dad was a merchant seaman through ww2. My mother was an electrician in the R.A.F. ww2. None of My parents spoke of the war. My mother was from shotts,My father from Liverpool. The pipes mean everything to me for memories of the highland games. Tears roll down my eyes. Many thanks to all pipers and drummers.
Will never forget my time as a euphoniumist in the U.S. 298th Army Band, Berlin Brigade playing alongside the Black Watch in Berlin in the mid-Eighties. A definite high point of my career, and I'm grateful for the experience.
The Drum Major every other should aspire to be like!
Why is it that as soon as I hear, Scotland the Brave, I immediately want to stand and holler "WHOOP!" and why does this water drip from my eyes when I hear the bags?
I would like to be the owner of Saint Andres Castle is very nice and to have the Band playing for me every morning early at my breakfast ... ! Well done Boys excellent and good work ! Mr. Green. Thanks !
I think that there is not a better sound to hear than Spitfire Mk. 9 ply past at combat throttle setting. Well maybe there is. A platoon of Scotsmen playing Scotland the Brave.
I am proud to be a son of Clan MacQuarrie. Someday I want to go home to land I've never been to, Scotland.
I m Peruvian. I m mixture of Vasco ,Galitian ,Italian and Brave and Wise Indian peoples.My Life
is full of Fight ,Battles And Triumphs.For that ,ADMIRE And FEEL deeply this AMAZING SCOTY MUSIC .There are here explícities references about Fight ,Courage a d Brave that always inspire me SCOTIA THE BRAVE .From LIMA PERÚ.
So proud to be a scot I only I could go back visit my family
My great grandfather was in the blackwatch before coming to Australia I am proud to say be strong and well from Australia
The pipes always take me to a place no other thing can equal
My father's father was originally from Wales; my dad loved the bag pipes. Now all I can do is cry every time I hear them as they remind me of my dad.
Carrie Dunne we all live through the pipes
..the single best thing that ever came out of the United Kingdome....the bag pipes! The uniforms have NO challenge....perfection!
My father, dying of heart failure in the hosptal here at Cedars Sinai, has been having me play The Black Watch for him- these videos are a gift to have on here and I thank deeply who have posted them- they are a freeing distraction for my father's journey "home". :(___
Elizabeth Reynolds my most sincere sympathies on your loss.
HIS SOUL WILL COME HOME,BY THE LOW ROAD
God rest his soul.
@@lewissmith3896 @northscot
@conroecurio Thank you all for your empathy and kindness.
@@EReynoldsLABless you.
my roots are in Dundee, really love this music, long live the Scrimgour clan.
Best city in the world!!! Ok probably not but it is to me😁
The best! Scotland, forever!!! And Freedom!!!)))
Great Britain, it is people, big history, you also big nation! Magnificent.
Oh man surely get my Scottish blood going. Grandfather played every Sunday and my Grand mum danced the swords. What an upbringing. Taught my children the same. Pipe and drums forever. And to Mr . Hathaway, it brings tears to my eyes too. Men going into battle and coming home. Yes sir, a most beautiful sound. And I'm a veteran of the U.S Military. Must be in the blood.
The drum major you hear right at the beginning I first met back in 96 or 97 at Milton bridge. I then knew him from the Black Watch when I served up in Fort George. I honestly can not remember his name but I know this. Back then I would have trusted him with my life. Absolute salt of the earth proper decent guy. I made the mistake of giving up the pipes after 10 months training. See I was sick of practicing from morning til night and now I'm regretting it. After 18 years of not holding a chanter I have started learning again. I have to start from scratch again but I have an ex pipe major and old friend of the Black Watch in the pipe band I am currently in. What a lucky man I am. Lol. To aw you pipers and drummers of the Black Watch. You do all the Scots proud.
Craig MacGregor Brian
Prove it
Craig MacGregor Brian Alexander is his name mate. Know him from my time in the Argylls doing the Edinburgh Tattoo etc
From Constantinople to Scotland, the art of military drumming has made a journey throughout Europe, gaining in every country more and more sophistication to get the perfect accomplishment at the end of the trip, as we can see here.
Bravo gentlemen: that's not just drum "beating" ("batterie" as we say in France), that's real great music!
Great class!
You are honouring your ancestors and mankind in many ways.
I salute especially Tony Oxley, who was a member of the Black Watch Military Band and is one of the greatest modern jazz drummers of the world and all time.
Long live the Auld Alliance!
A French drum teacher and author.
Got to meet some of the Black Watch while serving in the Honor Guard at Arlington, VA in the mid 70's, very sharp looking outfit.
Merlin, as your name suggests, this is magician's work. Admirable from beginning to end!
I am argentinien but I love this music so much that it is impossible for me to say it in words
I gave my sons a Scottish mother, what greater gift!
Simply the Best. Salute to the Blackwatch and my Ancestorol home Scotland. From America with love.
these guys are without a doubt the greatest pipers in the world...but that's just my opinion
They lift their knees so high !!!
It was a grand show when the Black Watch visited San Rafael, CA USA. Love to see them come back.
I believe it was 1963, I first heard the Black Watch playing similar medleys c/w a regimental brass accompaniment. Perhaps an overdub in this case, but otherwise, switching things up, with a little brass tossed in once and awhile, (not too much), is always a treat in my book. Certainly no worse than some contemporary bands adding their token bongo player to the mix. Good grief... Anyways, it was great to hear, a few old school sets, without all the modern day tweedledee/tweedledum overkill. It's not that I don't appreciate more demanding tunes and complex medleys. I think we all do. I'm just saying, it was great to once again hear and see the Black Watch Pipes & Drums - in full regimental dress - doing their thing, under 100 bpm :) BTW...ty for the post :)
This music opens a path to my lost ancestry. It seems natural to me, it must be in my blood. Thank you for this, to the Black Watch and to the poster of the clip.
Damn proud to be from Scottish decent ! The pipes always reach deep within me and fuel a fire that connects me to my ancestry.
Sans Peur!!
Indeed.
Sans peur et sans reproche!
@Crescent City Kid Clearly you don't know a lot of Scots.
Watchin again. Pure brawesomeness. \m/
Im Belfast Bourne in '75 to American born parents i lived there till me and my twin sister were 5 then went America..i still rep. the black watch in my kilt. It is just how I am
.
We love the combined pipes,drums and band. It s ounds so majestic.
My late Father, William Nicol, was a Sergeant in the 1st Battalion, The Black Watch. He escorted Germans accused of War Crimes to Nürnberg for trial. His brother, Sergeant James Nicol, 5th Battalion, The Black Watch, was captured near Cäen shortly after D-Day, by troops of the elite SS Panzerdivision Hitlerjügend. He ended up in StalagLuft III at Sagan until the war ended.
Many thanks to your family for their service, from a Scottish American!
4/68th Armor, 82nd Airborne Division, US Army
There is a memorial to people of Scottish American descent in Princes Street gardens Edinburgh Jazzycat from the ww1 .
I love this! I watch it every evening to lighten my spirits and it does the trick!
Well done !
Better than watching the news!
There is no other regimental band quite like the 1st Battalion of the Black Watch and this is it.
To think they played that stuff while marching into enemy fire. Quality soldiering.
@Crescent City Kid it happened on a regular basis until WWI. During the Great War pipers played the troops in action in many occasions, altough they were supposed to stay away from the firing line . Even in WWII we have examples of pipers playing under fire - Millin , Kirkpatrick.
I'm not sure about the Korea .
Last piper recorded to play in a fighting zone was PM Scott Taylor in Afghanistan , 2004.
So, even if wer all agree that in modern combat it's pure folly to play the pipes in action, once in a while the Scots just go in their "och, what the f**k" mode and play nonetheless
@@marioguidotomasone1265 Due to the high casualty rate in WW1 pipers were forbidden to go into action playing in WW2. However, in some circumstances, commanders chose to ignore this instruction. Perhaps the most famous of these was Brigadier Simon "Shimi" Lovat, (aka 15th Lord Lovat) on D-Day.
He told his personal piper, Bill Millin, that because it was an order from the English War Office it could be ignored..... as they were both Scots !!! A figure of lesser stature would not have gotten off with that !!!
I am not Scottish but i also love the Pipes and Drums.
Fantastic to see & hear. The Famous Black Watch.
loved the pipes and drums as a kid in camperdown park when at easter all the family cousins the lot would all head there back then family was close and done a lot together 60`s` & 70`s Dundonians will remember back then...
Its not a regiment I am printing about here but a Canadian Scot, if ever a man deserved a Victoria Cross, this one should have had 2. He landed on D. Day at the British "Sword Beach", the only one wearing a kilt and his only weapon a set of bagpipes. He then proceeded to march up and down the beach, through a hail of metal, playing the pipes and inspiring the lads who had landed with him. Later he piped his battalion 4 miles to the Caen Canal to relieve units of 6 Airborne holding the bridge at Benouville (Pegasus Bridge) His name William (Bill) Millin, 4 commando, There is a fine statue of Bill Millin at Collville --Montgomery very close to were he landed at Sword (Ouistreham) Normandy. This was a man made of the stuff Kipling wrote about.
Fantastic. I'm always emotional, listening to the pipes being played
Reminds me of when they played in Pittsburgh PA when I was a child. I had the wonderful opportunity to dance with them. Once in a lifetime chance that I will never forget. My father was a wonderful piper miss those sounds in my life everyday.
By the way, this all looks and sounds beautiful. Just with the castle in the background gives me goosebumps, shivers down my spine, a tear to the eye, and a smile to my face =')
@Crescent City Kid There's no need to be arsehole just because someone likes music. If that gets you off, find another hobby.
The Black Watch to me is the best Scottish Pipe band.
Thanks, stunning, the dignity and bearing of the men marvelous, magical indeed !!
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you Scotland!
What's NOT to like??? Great Music and good video of the Black Watch.
My Dad was a piper, i had so many records of BlackWatch, and got to see them at MSG!!
Makes my hair stand up and sends chills down my spine!
i could listen to this all day
O Scotland you are The LORD's
i see God's mighty and beauty in you
T oiseachd soisgeul Iosa Criosda, Mac Dhe
Peace be unto you God bless Scotland the brave :)
Scotland the sweet among your brothers ..Have been brought near by the blood
With love yuli :) See im glad i have dark hair also like you :) like Iosa :) all your men are the brave men of war :) The beauty of God is in you and you have His glory upon you :)
Wenn man überlegt, das der Dudelsag aus ein anderen Land kommt. Da habt Ihr Schotten doch ein sehr schönes Intrumet daraus gemacht und immer schöne stimmungsvolle Lieder damit gespielt. ob in Eure Kneipen, als Marschinsprument, oder für das Kriegshandwerk. Mal ist die Melodie traurig und machmal bingt sie Schwung in das Geschehen. Ich freue mich schon auf den nächsten Schottland Urlaub.ich möchte nach Blair Castel in Mai 2022. Gott halte uns Gesund und immer ein frohes, aufrechtes Herz.
Realmente son Gaitas y Tambores. Extraordinario espectàculo, el verles marchar con sus vistosos uniformes escoceses de Gaiteros. Su marcialidad y su acompasado desplazamiento, al unìsono de sus marchas.
Awesome... love this stuff... and I'm a maori...
quite spellbinding ... when you really listen...Thank you
I am proud to be Scottish and I am also a drummer and I know there is a lot of hard work that gose into pipe band life
Thank you so much for posting; I hope to hear them someday in person.
....Blessings to you,
......A Gibson by birth........
Love it. Been to Fergus Highland Games several times. Love it. God Bless you all. Deb
I love the Highland pipes, as they are in my blood. ("Touch Not the Cat Bot a Glove.")
Ten things to keep the doctor away. I will write that up in my notes
Love the Black Watch, and I always will!
I love this! Love the castle and the band together! Fantastic!
From Perthshire, where I am proud to have been born!
The Scots - a great bunch of lads.
Many thanks for all the great comments and "likes" :)

Thx for the upload. all the way from The netherlands
Beautiful and well done. I'm a proud SCOTTISH AMERICAN. SI RIOHGAL MADHREAM
Oh, how I wish all of you had been there when I stood in front of that beautiful castle!
This is played so beautifully and I really appreciate it being here for us to enjoy - thank you!

proud regiment !! my brother did 23 years BW recce Big Russ colin russell , I was BW perth academy cadets that made me feel proud too
sweet glorious music!! absolutely beautiful!!!
i feel so awesome to be scottish, its a very proud and rich heritage..
The word dance always was, and still is, my favorite. So ceremonial, so precise
VERY IMPRESSIVE 🎶 💕 Greetings from the USA 🇺🇸
Very well done, gentlemen!!
Magic. Pure magic.
The Black Watch are the best. Macgregor descendant here. Royal is Our Race
Fantastic sound - it sound as if there is an orchestral backing to the pipes, but I can only see pipes and drums. Lovely harmony.
These are not people to mess with!
Lovely, just lovely!!
Thank you for this, absolutely beautiful
Most Afrikaners dislikes the pipes. Not me. I'm only 12.5% Scottish (MacLachlan), but that's more than enough.
As an interesting sidenote: on the eleventh of December, 1899, the Scottish Highlanders under general Wauchope was sent ahead of lord Metheun's relief column to attack the Boer positions at Magersfontein. At about 04:00 the Boers opened fire at a range of about 400 yards from camouflaged trenches. The Scots have been advancing in close order and suffer most of their 1000 casualties in the first 15 minutes. A complete rout and pandemonium was only prevented because of a lone piper playing "The Campbells are Coming".
Thank you brain Alexander
They look and sound so GREAT !!!
Nothing equals the splendor of the Black Watch!
Lovely !
Thanks for listening
I get a creepy feeling when I see pictures of Glamis Castle. I don't know why -- a sense of evil.
Soul stirring. Thank you.
I'd like this tune to be handy for every milestone I face in life and thereafter
AMAZING!!
This is extremely exciting to listen to. Thanks for the upload. I wondef what a neuro-scientist would make of it.
Black Jocks forever!
