And , piper's heritage(s) extend all over the world ; wherever men have watched over their flocks , they've invented the flutes , the harps & the pipes out of the materials the flock provided , seems somehow intrinsiciy 'in tune with nature' that the animals they watched over were comforted by instruments their fellows provided !

There is nothing in the world like the bagpipe. It's piercing and shrill sound so regal. So majestic. The true sound of the Scots. Spot on lads. Mo cuishla
600 pipers were wounded, 500 bagpipe players died while rallying the troops into battle. They received an extra penny a day to play their pipes. For the most part, the bagpipes skirled out the regimental tunes to get the men moving, tunes such as Highland Laddie, Bluebonnets Over the Border, and the Minstrel Boy. You can’t have been round the battlefields in the Somme and not shed a tear listening to this.
No more a comforting and assuring sound to hear if you a friend and ally, no less an ominous and formidable sound to hear coming if you are an enemy and foe.
There's a saying among some American Indian Tribes , that ( in seeking ; a friend , or your roots in an attachement to The People - all Tribes including Scoti )- " If You Seek , You Are " !! (BTW , ALL Peoples come from Tribes ) Hoorahski !! Har !
@Antivaxxer Ccp hater what he is saying is the left wing mob here in America is looking to destroy anything and everything they deem offensive or racist. Not everybody in America thinks like that though.
I’m from Hawaii, born and raised. Since I was about 12 and heard my first bagpipe I thought it was the loveliest and most haunting. It’s on my bucket list to visit Scotland. ❤️
Has anyone else noticed that music has been with us through everything we’ve experienced in the history of mankind the good ,the bad, and the ugly? This was beautiful!
Speaking of The Good Bad & Ugly , On the TH-cam look up the Danish Orchestra that does a rendition of that Eastwood tune ! It will blow yer socks off ! They do have a couple of Eastwood movie tunes , right now I can't rem'ber the other , but you'll see it in the side panels .
Bagpipes and drums seem like a shoe-in for 18th-century military cadence and morale. I bet they served that function well on the battlefield, when efficiency and will to stand firm under fire really really mattered.
Our father came from Scotland to Canada with his family. Our daughter just took a trip of a lifetime to see where her grandfather was born as she had never met him. She said she will never forget the warmth of the people and the sites she saw. I hope to follow in her footsteps to see Scotland some day 🇨🇦 🏴
Every time I hear the pipes and drums I think of how ancient and noble they are. Those men dancing once did it on crossed swords. And the pipes were war pipes played above a battlefield to urge Scotland's warriors toward victory.
Scotland is massively divided here. Scotland’s culture, language and traditions have already pretty much died. It’s the job of my generation of young scots to preserve and built what we have.
Gotta disagree. You have to give it up to the Maori Haka as well as the Northern American drum circles. You can say they don't beat the pipes. That's a matter op opinion. But you have to admit when you listen to them that they come close. Here's what I mean about the first nation drum circles. It absolutely exemplifies national identity and pride to the degree the drum and pipes do, imo. th-cam.com/video/r4wCdVtmpfA/w-d-xo.html
How can you forget Brittany? We have there many traditionals groups, we have fest noz, all over the year, we have the interceltic festival n Lorient where groups of celt culture from Scotland to Spain are performing. And not to forget the sea army group: the Bagad of Lann Bihoué.

This is awesome. My Dad who passed in 1998 was from Galashiels Scotland. He enlisted in the British Navy. After the war he moved to Canada got married and here I am. Miss him terribly. Had an awesome sense of humour and would never talk about the war. He loved the pipes 🥰💕
Was born in Australia (to post war immigrant Glaswegian parents) lived back in Scotland [Glasgow] a short while in the early 60's [in my childhood years] and have been back numerous occasions since [plenty of rellies]. To this day, the sound of amassed pipes and drums can quickly have me with a tight lump in my throat and tears running down my face (not ashamed), especially when they play stuff like Amazing Grace, the Black Bear, O Flower o' Scotland, The Dark Isle, etc. Must be in the blood or something. PS: God bless and rest your old man, till The Trumpet sounds, and the piper strikes up. 🏴 🇭🇲

Loved the sound of the pipes ever since I was a little girl, get that from me mum. She was from England but felt a strong love for the Scottish Highlands and the pipes. Such a haunting, beautiful sound.
I'm English but the sound of the pipes makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on edge - brilliant , when I was in the RAF many many years ago had to call in at the Black Watch barracks for fuel , I will never take the piss out of a man wearing a skirt ( Kilt ) again , boy they were big buggers , good on you gents
National PRIDE is alive and well in Scotland. No one walked away, no one took a knee in protest or raised a voice in protest. God Bless Scotland. Love the Pipes.
Playing the pipes at one time was a sign of defiance towards the English who persecuted and wanted to subdue the Scots. No different then taking a knee nowadays. You have to remember that Black folks have only really been free in this country for about 50 years. All the way up into the mid 80's some black communities lived in terror of groups like the KKK and such groups where often made up of local and state officials. More then any other threat to our freedom The US federal government is the biggest threat against freedom in America. My National pride runs thick, thats why i don't nor will i ever support the Federal government in the form that we know it as today. The federal government has a track record of of doing evil and heinous things not only to foreigners but to its own soldiers and us citizens. My National Pride is strictly reserved for the volunteer soldier and the workers and pioneers that made this country great. All most all Elected officials are complete trash. That includes Trump, Obama the Clinton and Bush family.
A long time ago, and in a different place we had a Scottish neighbor who would march up and the driveway between our homes playing his bagpipe. All the neighborhood kids , of all the ethnicities joined up to march behind him. These nice videos bring back good memories! Thanks from Israel.
@@franl155 Really! I'm as Southern as magnolias and sweet tea! I say yes ma'am, no ma'am, thank you ma'am, and please.Taught my kids to do the same. But my heritage is Irish,Scots, French and Native American. Definitely lean more towards the Scot,Irish, in looks and my love of bagpipes.Then theres also something to be said for Scotsman in kilts! Think Gerald Butler! Sam Heughan! Whoo Whee!
@@debbiefulton1001 - I meant "southerners" as in "Sassenachs" - ie Saxons, the English in general. Like most generalisations it's wildly inaccurate! But I'm the only one I know of who loves pipe music, especially massed pipes and drums - it just reaches deep down inside me and grabs something. And oh, a man in a kilt …
@@franl155 ,fran, I've enough of the Scottish in me to know what a Sassenach is. I just can't recall them being called southern. Geographically I can see why that would be. But I don't think I have heard them called that before. God Bless a Scottsman in a kilt,worn proper.
@@debbiefulton1001 - I heard Sassenach to mean an English person it in a comedy show so I'm not sure how generic it is! I don't think "southerner" comes into it, really, can't think why I put that. Except that England is south of Scotland
The whole world is needing more of this this type of thing, because you take your culture to the public and you old an young stoping an passing on stories an learning. Thank you for not only expressing how you feel but letting others do the same while you play!
This makes my heart happy. My granddad was a drummer, and my grandma played the pipes, my mom did, and so do I. Mom passed away four years ago, I’ve not played the pipes since. Tears of pride watching this, as well as tears of sadness. McKinlay of the Royal Stewart clan
pick em up again. Our local pipes and drums has fallen apart since the plandemic. We've come together and pull off a few firefighter funerals and a pub crawl or two, but i miss the motivation to play regularly.
My papa who was in a pipe band Glasgow and he was a great drummer and used to play at the Dunblane Highland games in the 70s and 80s and when I hear the pipes and drums it always fills me with pure joy
I grew up in an area of Detroit, Michigan known as historic Corktown. There a lot of history there. From the early settlers in Detroit. I recall St. Patrick's Day and the wonderful bagpipers! My dad, a WW11 vet, had a great send off. Bagpipers were in attendance, along with a 21 gun salute. The Army covered his coffin with our American flag, and presented it to my mother.
So beautiful to see freedom and the response to something positive being shared. This is a perfect example of Humanity enjoying each other. It's the simple things in life that are worth the most.
My father came from Glasgow and we have just spent 2 weeks touring around Scotland in a motor home. This was my first visit I'm 69 . When ever i here the Bagpipes i think of dad and always get a tear in my eye...Such a lovely place .....
I am a Hong Konger who still crave for/miss such gorgeous bagpipe shows badly!!! It was always part of the military parades for the Queen's Birthday in April every year when the weather in HK was quite hot!!! It always boggles me how they could stand such intense heat in their thick costumes!!! Besides this and above all, I miss the superb British governance before the switch of sovereignty back in 1997!!!
Hk Lau - Thats why we Brits like the Chinese Hong Kong immigrants into UK more than any other. FAR more. Only the Sikhs adapt as quickly and completely into British way of life. We miss Hong Kong too
Hk Lau, I am American. It is currently fashionable in my country for Liberals to decry "colonial powers" of all stripes. I, for one, do not hold with that fashion. Without glossing over the offenses most colonial powers, including the British, committed, I sincerely believe much of the world was a safer, more humane and just civilization for subjects in many of the former colonies administered by the British.
WOW. I would be in my glory hearing this live. They're all so very lucky to have this. We need more of this in the world to come together. Thank you from America!
of all flashmob videos, this is my favorite. they way they pulled it off and the tune selection and the tightness of the band. best damn piping i've heard in my life from a band. in these times of social distancing and worry over what's happening here, i have come back to this video to help lift my spirits. there must be something genetic in the celtic/pictish spirit for the pipes. they draw me like nothing else does. my family has been here long enough to help settle this country, when the frontier was just off the shoreline. we left scotland to get away from the british crown. but i hear the pipes and something comes over me. alba gu brath.
I was never so proud as watching my two boys marching in Arklow Pipe Band, county Wicklow, Ireland. One on pipes and the other on snare drum. I cried that day,
Oddly enough northern Ireland was the birth place of 1st ranger battalion. (Darbys rangers), they were also trained by the Irish too. Founded by col. Truscott.
I mean, we did have a people group who do have a tradition of martial music. Too bad the Government decided to genocide these "Savages" instead of trying to coexist.
Look on line for Scottish Events !! They're extremely popular & a real hoot to experience ! The first one i went to , a guy had just tossed the caber and walked into the tent with food & drink in it - this guy was a huge redheaded barrel of a man , likley 320lbs with thighs the size of small trees - people cleared his way - as he walked ' " With Purpose " !! Lots of exhibits & trade crafts , now go find one !! Some do re-enactments of battles also ! Spring & summers .
Fourth generation Canadian. My father's folk were from Scotland. I have no idea why it happens, but the pipes stir something in me that brings me to tears (in a good way).
I'm not from those parts - I'm across the pond. ♥️Loved it! (don't know why, but bagpipes always make me tear up) It was nice to see the men dancing! I've only ever seen the ladies! Love from Canada 🇨🇦
It put me in tears watching this - tears of Joy to see it and hear it, tears of sadness that I was not there to witness it live. Long live the Scots. Long live the pipes!
me too Frank...wakes the soul & it starts in my bones, then begins the flow of tears..and then..off i go dancing...every...time..i hear them..no matter where it be
Im getting tired of everyone hurrying to get their phones to record everything, can't we just enjoy the moment. I guarantee you won't forget this stunning performance,the mind is the best recorder ever invented.
OMG...l love, love the pipes!!! Chills my spine and brings tears to me eyes😘 so deeply beautiful 😊 love the two admiring grannys😊. So proud to be of Scott and Irish heritage!
The Bagpipe man who played for my Mom & Dad's funeral happened to be black and was an excellent player ! Knowing the history of the 'Black Irish' , and we both joking about , & asked him since there was the Black Irish if he wasn't a Black Scotsman ! We had a good laugh . That was in 2010 , at the Riverside Calif. Arlignton Miltary Memorial site , across the highway from the USAF's March Field .
Hi my friends . Im a german . It was woooonderfuuuuul , i cant wright , i have so many smoke in my eyes . Thank you for the GRANDIOS music Greetings from EuerMerkwürden🥰☮☯♾
I was flying from U.S to U.K and one of my stops was in Dublin, Ireland. And there was so many different types of music being played. It was truly amazing and I loved hearing all that heritage in person. Keep up the good work and stay proud of where your roots grow!
Even as a kid the bagpipes stirred my soul. I did not learn of my Scottish heritage until 7/4/20 and being 53% Scottish it finally makes sense! Now at 53 a lot of other questions have been answered since then as well! Relations go back to the Buie and Briar families in Scotland. Able to trace the Buie family back to 1405.
I'm American, but I'm sure I have some Scottish blood because the sounds of the bagpipes just go straight to my heart. I get so excited when I hear them!
In the city centre or the village square, the beautiful big voice of the bagpipes and the amazing uniforms are incredible and memorable. Thanks from England
Love to see traditional cultural events like these continuing on despite outside influences to be come cookie cutter nations.... Love from the USA to Scotland. 🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖
I was 12 years old, putting together a model car. There is a blank spot in my memories, I don't remember the sequence of events. My mom had to tell me what happened. While building the model car, the Black Watch began playing on a TV show. I literally dropped the model, ran into the living room and stood transfixed until the performance was over. It moved me enough that when I saw my car was a pile of useless broken plastic pieces I just said "Oh well." When my dad got home from work that night she immediately confronted him. "I don't care what your father says. He needs to know his ancestry." Up until that time, I just knew I was an American. When Grandpa immigrated to the U.S. as soon as they got off the boat he told his wife "We are now American. We speak English and English only." I started learning some of my history, my ancestry. The pipes have never failed to reach deep into me. Even before I was aware of being of Scottish descent.

One of the best comments I have read on TH-cam lately. You said so much in a few sentences. It adds to the appreciation of this video.
It's like hearing reinforcement had finally come from the highland "hold the line men "
No more a comforting and assuring sound to hear if you a friend and ally, no less an ominous and formidable sound to hear coming if you are an enemy and foe.
"The Ladies From Hell" is what my Grandda said the Japanese called them.
ah, for effs, sake, ya arsehole didnt ya make me cry with just reading ur comment?
Amazing how an instrument with only 9 notes, can produce music that brings tears to my eyes, every single time I hear it.
Made me wish I could still dance! (Stupid arthritis!)

When the pipes call every one within earshot is a Scot.
Yes it is. It's a great instrument.
I guarantee if I see this in person I would be a puddle of tears
Oh, you should listen to highland cathedral. preferably with a mass band.
actually, it's best to listen to it live...WONDERFULL!!

My National pride runs thick, thats why i don't nor will i ever support the Federal government in the form that we know it as today. The federal government has a track record of of doing evil and heinous things not only to foreigners but to its own soldiers and us citizens. My National Pride is strictly reserved for the volunteer soldier and the workers and pioneers that made this country great. All most all Elected officials are complete trash. That includes Trump, Obama the Clinton and Bush family.
Robert Bone Grow up you miserable man, and understand that the protest is against you.
Taking a knee is a Scottish tradition. Don't co-op us in your moronic racism.
Strong men should knee about bad things!!!
They don’t bend the knee because in Scotland we don’t pick on people for being black!
A long time ago, and in a different place we had a Scottish neighbor who would march up and the driveway between our homes playing his bagpipe. All the neighborhood kids , of all the ethnicities joined up to march behind him. These nice videos bring back good memories! Thanks from Israel.
my dad saved in the Royal Scott's during the war , he loved the pipes and so do his children and grand children, thankyou
That was lovely to hear and to see. Much love from England.
I've noticed people either love or hate bagpipes. I don't understand the hate though. Love 'um!
I'm the only one in my family who doesn't run away at the first drone of the pipes inflating. no accounting for softie southerners …
@@franl155 Really! I'm as Southern as magnolias and sweet tea! I say yes ma'am, no ma'am, thank you ma'am, and please.Taught my kids to do the same. But my heritage is Irish,Scots, French and Native American. Definitely lean more towards the Scot,Irish, in looks and my love of bagpipes.Then theres also something to be said for Scotsman in kilts! Think Gerald Butler! Sam Heughan! Whoo Whee!
@@debbiefulton1001 - I meant "southerners" as in "Sassenachs" - ie Saxons, the English in general. Like most generalisations it's wildly inaccurate!
But I'm the only one I know of who loves pipe music, especially massed pipes and drums - it just reaches deep down inside me and grabs something. And oh, a man in a kilt …
@@franl155 ,fran, I've enough of the Scottish in me to know what a Sassenach is. I just can't recall them being called southern. Geographically I can see why that would be. But I don't think I have heard them called that before. God Bless a Scottsman in a kilt,worn proper.
@@debbiefulton1001 - I heard Sassenach to mean an English person it in a comedy show so I'm not sure how generic it is! I don't think "southerner" comes into it, really, can't think why I put that. Except that England is south of Scotland
The whole world is needing more of this this type of thing, because you take your culture to the public and you old an young stoping an passing on stories an learning. Thank you for not only expressing how you feel but letting others do the same while you play!
A BIG AMEN!!! A SCOT IN KANSAS:)
this still makes me smile every time i watch it...proud to be scottish x
This makes my heart happy. My granddad was a drummer, and my grandma played the pipes, my mom did, and so do I. Mom passed away four years ago, I’ve not played the pipes since.
Tears of pride watching this, as well as tears of sadness. McKinlay of the Royal Stewart clan
Play and think of them when you do
pick em up again. Our local pipes and drums has fallen apart since the plandemic. We've come together and pull off a few firefighter funerals and a pub crawl or two, but i miss the motivation to play regularly.
Don’t stop playing , your mother would be so sad
I love Scotland.The nature,the people and the music!!!
We had Pipers pipe my wife down the aisle and when we left for our wedding 💑 was just Magic🇦🇺 notice how everyone was smiling and laughing 😃
My papa who was in a pipe band Glasgow and he was a great drummer and used to play at the Dunblane Highland games in the 70s and 80s and when I hear the pipes and drums it always fills me with pure joy
Aww the pipes the best sound in the world of course I’m Scottish and proud listen to those boys ❤
My heart swells so much to hear the bagpipes and drums!
Me too
I grew up in an area of Detroit, Michigan known as historic Corktown. There a lot of history there. From the early settlers in Detroit. I recall St. Patrick's Day and the wonderful bagpipers!
My dad, a WW11 vet, had a great send off. Bagpipers were in attendance, along with a 21 gun salute. The Army covered his coffin with our American flag, and presented it to my mother.
The most amazing, heartfelt and touching music in the world. It always brings tears to my eyes. Thank you!
😢 makes me so homesick from Canada,
I’m not even Scottish, but the sound of pipes just makes me cry; so proud, so noble.
the two squaddies dancing was f*cking brilliant
So beautiful to see freedom and the response to something positive being shared. This is a perfect example of Humanity enjoying each other. It's the simple things in life that are worth the most.
Hearing the bagpipes really makes me feel proud to be Scottish and proud of my heritage.
My father came from Glasgow and we have just spent 2 weeks touring around Scotland in a motor home. This was my first visit I'm 69 . When ever i here the Bagpipes i think of dad and always get a tear in my eye...Such a lovely place .....
I am a Hong Konger who still crave for/miss such gorgeous bagpipe shows badly!!! It was always part of the military parades for the Queen's Birthday in April every year when the weather in HK was quite hot!!! It always boggles me how they could stand such intense heat in their thick costumes!!! Besides this and above all, I miss the superb British governance before the switch of sovereignty back in 1997!!!
Hk Lau - Thats why we Brits like the Chinese Hong Kong immigrants into UK more than any other. FAR more. Only the Sikhs adapt as quickly and completely into British way of life. We miss Hong Kong too
Hk Lau, I am American. It is currently fashionable in my country for Liberals to decry "colonial powers" of all stripes. I, for one, do not hold with that fashion. Without glossing over the offenses most colonial powers, including the British, committed, I sincerely believe much of the world was a safer, more humane and just civilization for subjects in many of the former colonies administered by the British.
This evokes history, pride and dedication. Sends chills up me back. Well done Scots.
Modern day Scottish town, centuries old tradition.
Fly me to Scotland NOW big Kev from South Wales ❤
Brought tears to my eyes. Why?
I'm not a Scotsman, but I love the pipes nonetheless. They stir the blood and quicken the soul.
"Quicken" is such a great word to describe it!
WOW. I would be in my glory hearing this live. They're all so very lucky to have this. We need more of this in the world to come together. Thank you from America!
of all flashmob videos, this is my favorite. they way they pulled it off and the tune selection and the tightness of the band. best damn piping i've heard in my life from a band. in these times of social distancing and worry over what's happening here, i have come back to this video to help lift my spirits. there must be something genetic in the celtic/pictish spirit for the pipes. they draw me like nothing else does. my family has been here long enough to help settle this country, when the frontier was just off the shoreline. we left scotland to get away from the british crown. but i hear the pipes and something comes over me. alba gu brath.
I just found this video. My grandma was a Scott, and beautiful in her day. I love Scotland!
I was never so proud as watching my two boys marching in Arklow Pipe Band, county Wicklow, Ireland. One on pipes and the other on snare drum. I cried that day,
You should be and God blessed ya
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO !
Greetings from the USA. Former US ARMY RANGER from Bristol Tn.

Oddly enough northern Ireland was the birth place of 1st ranger battalion. (Darbys rangers), they were also trained by the Irish too. Founded by col. Truscott.
have you booked your trip to attend the Edinburgh Military Tattoo yet? Old soldiers should never die!
Respect from an other veteran from Edinburgh. I Had the privilege to serve with US soldiers over seas
Heilan Laddie, former 1st Batt Ranger, CCo Hard rock Charlie. Respect.
I wish we had more of this in the United States Of America 🇺🇸. This is beautiful! Love it! ❤️🎶❤️
You do you have some of the worlds best pipe bands in America.
I mean, we did have a people group who do have a tradition of martial music. Too bad the Government decided to genocide these "Savages" instead of trying to coexist.
Oh haha I was gunna say you’d be surprised how many people play the pipes in America. I just recently joined a band
You want AMERICAN patriotism....go to a #TRUMP RALLY 🐸🇺🇸💞
Look on line for Scottish Events !! They're extremely popular & a real hoot to experience ! The first one i went to , a guy had just tossed the caber and walked into the tent with food & drink in it - this guy was a huge redheaded barrel of a man , likley 320lbs with thighs the size of small trees - people cleared his way - as he walked ' " With Purpose " !! Lots of exhibits & trade crafts , now go find one !! Some do re-enactments of battles also ! Spring & summers .
Fourth generation Canadian. My father's folk were from Scotland. I have no idea why it happens, but the pipes stir something in me that brings me to tears (in a good way).
My grandfather served in the queens own highlanders, A.K.A one of the regiments That once constituted what is now 4SCOTS. This fills me with pride.
I'm not Scottish, but after watching this video I wish I was.
Excellent. Thank you. The Aulde Alliance still lives. From France, with love.
Watching this in lock down what this country should be proud of
The pipes and drums get me evertime and no one does it better than the Scots.
Beautiful!!!. I love it. Can´t wait to visit this precious land.
Bravo j ai été transportée chez vous j aime
RESPECT TO ALL SCOT PIPERS!! LONG LIVE, HEALTH TO YOU ALL.🕊👏👏👍👋🏴🇬🇷
I'm not from those parts - I'm across the pond. ♥️Loved it! (don't know why, but bagpipes always make me tear up) It was nice to see the men dancing! I've only ever seen the ladies! Love from Canada 🇨🇦
It put me in tears watching this - tears of Joy to see it and hear it, tears of sadness that I was not there to witness it live. Long live the Scots. Long live the pipes!
me too Frank...wakes the soul & it starts in my bones, then begins the flow of tears..and then..off i go dancing...every...time..i hear them..no matter where it be
thank you
good on ye frank
nicely said
I love bagpipes. It stirs something in my soul.
Having watched the mass pipes at the Queen’s State Funeral today, I felt very proud. They were magnificent. I hope the Scots don’t leave the Union…🇬🇧
Oh I hope we do
I hope they do, they have a chance to escape this mess
There is nothing like the call of the pipes. 🇬🇧🏴
I miss Scotland.
Always loved the kilt. It is so smart.
Im getting tired of everyone hurrying to get their phones to record everything, can't we just enjoy the moment. I guarantee you won't forget this stunning performance,the mind is the best recorder ever invented.
Ken Brown well anyone that does for me I’m happy
Im from Boston and until I get there I appreciate the recording
Your probably English..stop preaching
OMG...l love, love the pipes!!! Chills my spine and brings tears to me eyes😘 so deeply beautiful 😊 love the two admiring grannys😊. So proud to be of Scott and Irish heritage!
Scott is a name, you are of Scottish heritage. The people are Scots, single T. Scotch is the drink :)
I'm an African American and bagpipe music brings tears to my eyes!! 🙏🏽
The Bagpipe man who played for my Mom & Dad's funeral happened to be black and was an excellent player ! Knowing the history of the 'Black Irish' , and we both joking about , & asked him since there was the Black Irish if he wasn't a Black Scotsman ! We had a good laugh . That was in 2010 , at the Riverside Calif. Arlignton Miltary Memorial site , across the highway from the USAF's March Field .
Hi my friends . Im a german . It was woooonderfuuuuul , i cant wright , i have so many smoke in my eyes .
Thank you for the GRANDIOS music
Greetings from EuerMerkwürden🥰☮☯♾
Love pipes. The two guys dancing were brilliant as well
I was flying from U.S to U.K and one of my stops was in Dublin, Ireland. And there was so many different types of music being played. It was truly amazing and I loved hearing all that heritage in person. Keep up the good work and stay proud of where your roots grow!
Even as a kid the bagpipes stirred my soul. I did not learn of my Scottish heritage until 7/4/20 and being 53% Scottish it finally makes sense! Now at 53 a lot of other questions have been answered since then as well! Relations go back to the Buie and Briar families in Scotland. Able to trace the Buie family back to 1405.
I'm American, but I'm sure I have some Scottish blood because the sounds of the bagpipes just go straight to my heart. I get so excited when I hear them!
Fantastic!
The piper's of ww1 had to be the first over the top of the trenches without a weapon? Lest we forget.
Johnny McDermid RHF Sangin Afghanistan 2007 one of the best soldiers I ever served with. RIP brother
Condolences. Thank you for everyone’s service, especially those that sacrificed the most.
I'm sorry for your lost he's a hero for sacrificing himself for the world
Je suis vraiment stupéfait de cette interprétation 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It's so good
The Bass Drum player plays and lead the group from his heart.
Was that the Drum Major playing the snare drum?
In the city centre or the village square, the beautiful big voice of the bagpipes and the amazing uniforms are incredible and memorable.
Thanks from England
Love to see traditional cultural events like these continuing on despite outside influences to be come cookie cutter nations.... Love from the USA to Scotland. 🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖
Your country is screwed because of people like you.
@Nettie Reynolds You are not right in the head.
I was 12 years old, putting together a model car. There is a blank spot in my memories, I don't remember the sequence of events. My mom had to tell me what happened. While building the model car, the Black Watch began playing on a TV show. I literally dropped the model, ran into the living room and stood transfixed until the performance was over.
It moved me enough that when I saw my car was a pile of useless broken plastic pieces I just said "Oh well."
When my dad got home from work that night she immediately confronted him. "I don't care what your father says. He needs to know his ancestry." Up until that time, I just knew I was an American. When Grandpa immigrated to the U.S. as soon as they got off the boat he told his wife "We are now American. We speak English and English only."
I started learning some of my history, my ancestry. The pipes have never failed to reach deep into me. Even before I was aware of being of Scottish descent.
Love this! Makes me think of the FDNY Emerald Society Pipes and Drums back home in NYC. Beautiful! Just beautiful!
