I imagine more than a few people think this is how Scots normally travel between pubs.
Made my day 😂
Aye it's the only way to travel.
Gritmo The Odd thanks for the laugh

This makes me proud to be Scottish.
Which is weird because I’m Mexican
😃😃
It's not the Scotsman on the outside that matters, it's the angry little Scotsman we all have inside of us
Ok, that last part sounded kinda dirty, but you know what I mean
I know jajajajaja I'm Mexican too but I don't care jajajajajajaja
Yer an honorary Scotsman
As an Englishman I must say that it is heartwarming to see that some parts of this once proud Island are proud to keep their traditions alive. In England, it seems, we have either forgotten how to or are just not allowed to do this anymore. To any Scottish and Welsh folk who may come across this comment.... "Please do not ever lose your National identity, keep up your traditions, protect them well and pass them on with pride to your children". England has lost its own identity, please don't let the same thing happen to you good Folk.
I'm a New Zealander with both English and Scottish heritage. It saddens my heart to see what England has become, and so many other western nations. I wish that people would stop feeling that it's racist to want to preserve their culture and heritage...it's not. Wars have been fought to prevent foreign nations from invading other countries, yet we are supposed to believe that it's wrong to object to our cultures being forever changed by demographic replacement...all without our consent. I too hope that people will rise up to protect their heritage before it's too late. In some countries it may already be. 😔
The Queen. God rest her soul. And now the king a little further removed. Are direct decedents of Robert the Bruce. A Bloody Scotsman. I always smile when the Brits get jiggy.

As Metallica said. Sad but true
Same sad situation in Germany...I can tell you
I am not Scottish, i am Dutch. But my family has a love for Scotland that goes back a long time. And this sends shivers down my spine. Awesome.
Thank you Laat. Great to hear you have such a passion for Scotland and our traditional music.
There's something very soul-stirring about the bagpipes.
The material it is made of?
Sheep skin...
@@petervan333 not only a Scotsman. The great Highland pipes makes blood run faster all around the globe.
Aye that be true laddie
True .. u feel it deep.
When you heard the bagpipes back in the day it's was either help was coming or hell was coming.👍
The pipes help us agin tha saxons. Ma Celtic brother.
Or men in skirts are coming
@@AP-23 yep the ladies from hell the Germans called them 😂
🏴🤝🇮🇪
@@AP-23 they're no skirts. They're Kilts.
Respect the Tartan. 😉
Ive witnessed these my self in Scotland and ive got to say its the most amazing and beautiful sights. The sound of the bag pipes ecoing of the mountain's is something magical to witness
My paternal grandmother was Scot, and if I could have had my way, Scotland The Brave would have been played at her funeral. Blessed be Ye, Grandma.
I'm not even Scottish, but I'm feeling this. Probably everyone who has a soul out there is feeling it. 🏴
Aye laddy👊👌

Some guy brought bagpipes to the protest on the 6th, and when he started playing Scotland the brave, it’s like every white guy in the front ranks just knew what it meant. That’s when the crowd began to advance.
Back in Iraq I was stationed with this guy from Scotland, crazy bastard packed his pipes over there and would play this And highland laddie. Rip Duff
I wonder what the insurgents would think about him?..
Thank you (your familys) all for your service and sacrifice.
He died? If he did, please, do send my regards.
Send it even if he didn’t. I respect people like you and him.

You have heard nothing until you hear massed pipers playing “Scotland The Brave” live…chills every single time ❤
First time I heard Scotland the Brave was in the movie the Devils Brigade. ( Should tell you how old I am.) Hope to hear it live one day. God bless from the U.S.
Most iconic song ever. Used to love hearing it in the Kandahar evening. Love you Scotts!
Nothing like the skirl of the pipe to stir the soul.
Every Scottish person smiling as soon as we hear the pipes ❤️🙏✅
Rasmia Zedan is a Scottish name??
@@10pmmemes88 being born and raised in Scotland makes you scottish, not your fuckin name
Me and my husband had the Scottish bagpipes at our wedding even though we are both born in England.
And English- if they have a soul. Everyone in fact.
@@jamesholloway-hughes7310 Nae matter where u come frae, the bagpipes is for everyone. Congratulations btw👍
I'm Mexican born, American raised but want to be buried with the bagpipes playing. My whole family think it's weird but I just love them
To be fair I have a friend who is Italian born and raised, not a drop of Scottish blood in him, who plays in a Scottish bagpipe band. Personally, I am Ukrainian American but LOVE Celtic Punk music. You like what you like no matter your ethnicity.
I used to live in that very town, in Young street and while I was there had the very good fortune see this every year. I now live in North Wales, but this reminds me of my many great times living in Scotland. I miss Dufftown very much, but i do get to visit Scotland still as my beautiful wife to be, comes from the stunning Isle of Skye. My son also plays the drum for the Elgin & District Mass Pipes & Drums. I am so proud of him.
Imagine being a British soldier for the empire, guarding bannockburn and suddenly you here this in the distance 💀
It may get your attention
*hear
It was Robert the Bruce King of Scots who defended Bannockburn and beat the largest Army England ever assembled, Roberts small force of 7000 in Schiltrons form with Mobility attack/Defence with 600 light horse and few Archers in middle of Schiltrons drove 3 thousand heavy horse and Men in Arms and over 15000 footsoldier plus Welsh bowmen ended up being totaly routed, King Edward fled himself and was lucky James Douglas never got him with only 70 horsemen while Edward had 500 personal quard. He left his Army to be Slaughtered, Aye the ones who never drowned trying to flee with their big expensive Armour.
There was no British empire during the time of Bannockburn which happened in 1314 . Scotland and England joined in union to form the United Kingdom in 1707 which became the British Empire.
@@IainEmslie Yep original commentator must think the British Empire has/was about for ever lol Alba Gu Bràth 🏴❤️🇬🇧
The only musical instruments that make me tear up. I don't know why either. Just love the bagpipes.
Alwyn Dellow , +1 - and I neither have an effing clue why. I wasn’t even born there
Me too.
I'm from Texas, still live here too. Never could understand why either but the first time I had ever heard that song it made my chest tighten up and had me tear up. Maybe its the ancestors
I’m not a Scot, but I tell you the truth, I become one whenever I hear Scotland the Brave played! I even did my own march up and down my living and dining room! I’m ready!!!❤
I'll join you!
@@bleppebleppsson1169 All right!
So picturesque. So archaic. And so fierce. I love it !
Imagine patrolling through a Scottish bog on dawns light and hearing this played this loudly a 100ft through the fog. Goes from patriotic and cheerful to terrifying.
Never, ever let those traditions die. And resist to the death those who would take them from you. Well done.
nationalism good
Amen
@Wirmire
No, he meant nationalism, dipshit. Don't let the neutered, continental European mentality and fixation on nonexistent "natsees" poison you. Being a nationalist is good. It doesn't mean "rest of the world never", it just means "my nation FIRST, everyone else afterward, IF I have the time/resources/ability".
Sincerely, a nonwhite American who still has his balls. Don't die, Scots. I hope your people find their balls again. 🇺🇸🏴
@@Romulan64 respect!
@@Romulan64 Ah yes, the non existant racists. But there are definitely real people that are going to ban bagpipes and national songs
As a US Marine at one time I had the pleasure of seeing a Scots Parade live at one time while over across the pond. It was back in the early 80's and was well taken by me.
There is nothing gets the spirits moving than the skirl of the pipes. And it wasnae raining.
Aye
Imagine your in a battle with smoke everywhere, you're getting low on ammo and the enemy has you surrounded, all seems lost when all of a sudden you hear the faint sound of bagpipes in the distance and hope sneaks back into your soul...
If you hear pipes hell and help are coming.
Dude I love your icon
Don't make me cry
The skirl of the pipes has inspired more than a few soldiers, & put the fear of God into many more.
Bagpipes are physically impossible to be "faint".
I'm not scottish, but everytime I hear this makes me be one.
Same here from Brazil
We'll welcome in any time.
The same here too why ? I think because of incoming culture but I’m Cuman how can be in incoming culture
Same thing for me from France 💙🏴❤🙂
I'm English but so true lol
I could follow the pipe's everywhere. Gives me goosebumps when I hear them play
Same here. Bagpipes stir something deep inside me.
Here I go again. 3 hours of Scotland The Brave videos. Love every minute of it.
Can you imagine yourself sitting in a trench on a battlefield waiting for help to arrive then off in the distance you hear this and know that God has heard your prayers
No, because I am German.
@@hallo5200 It wasn't a literal question-
@@hallo5200 no one asked

@@hallo5200 I do, and I wheezed. That was hilarious 🤣
I am an American but I attended a huge high school in California with the mascot name, the "Highlanders." We had the full regalia of a big marching band and a whole compliment of bagpipers and drummers with Scottish dancers. When we took the field at football games it was "off the hook" impressive. Scotland the Brave still stirs me
scottish dancers??? THE FECK?? IN COMMIEFORNIA? OH HELL NO
I imagine to travel to 🏴 and see this for real. What a moment. 🤩
A hug from Portugal to Scotland. 🇵🇹🤝🏴
Somewhere deep in this English heart there is a strain of Scotland because all my life I have been stirred by the pipes and drums. God Bless Scotland ❤️🏴
Brexit means all of Britain. May all of the British Isles unite.
Tracy, bagpipes and drums are indigenous to BRITAIN! They belong to all British people, and all our ancestors wore tartan. The oldest tartan is English-Northumbrian-and so is the sweetest bagpipes, the Northumbrian pipes :) Embrace your Britishness xx
My school, the Virginia Military Institute played this song during our Friday and Saturday parades. It is a tune that is dear to my heart as a Korean-American. God bless the Scottish folk for all they had to endure!
Dude you’re in the VMI? Godspeed man.

Aw you are very welcome in Scotland any time son, once this covid business has passed of course
I'm from Italy but every time I hear the pipes I have goosebumps !!! I love Scotland ❤
I try not to watch this too much. My Dad recently died, and like me, he was very proud of our Scottish ancestry. Such a powerful song! Makes me cry every time.
What a show! I can only congratulate my Scottish brothers and sisters for such a musical performance. God bless you all!
I am a U.S. citizen of Scottish descent. We were able to travel to Scotland two years ago; I shall never forget it! What an amazing country that has had such an incredible influence on the rest of the world!
Man i love your culture guys only respect from bavaria. Proud to see some guys celebrating their country ❤️
I’m Scots 100%. Loving this love from Canada
I am Asian living in South England, every time I listen to Scottish pipes and drums, I feel moved, making me crying, it seems a part of rhythm in my memory, even I never heard long before, beautiful tunes, beautiful people, beautiful land, I wish I could live there on highland, I am planning to realize it by driving tour all the way up north there after this pandemic
William pei Come to the Dufftown Games next year.31st July.Look forward to meeting you.😀👍
Alex Grant oh thank you , you are very kind t
Thank you for respecting our history!
My father loved his Scottish heritage and I grew up hearing bagpipes in the background. It took me a while but I now enjoy it. My dad would have loved to have been there to hear 11 bands in unison! It was great experiencing it!
No words,great respect from Croatia for proud nation. Long live Scotland ❤❤❤
What a wonderful country and culture. One of my favorite places in the world and I don’t even mind the weather. Fondness and respect for the UK and especially Scotland. From the 🇺🇸
I'm a Black man from New York and this song makes me cry The pride in the song you can feel .God Bless

How could he possibly be Scottish when he is a black man. Scots are white, we come from northern EUROPE. FUKIN HELL. SAOR ALBA GU BRATH@@sueballenger2300

I'm no Scotsman but that is incredible. Hats off. Never ever let that Tradition die in your Country.
Goddamit...
As a german 🇩🇪 my standstill would last till the last man... 🥹👍🏻💪🏻
Such an expression of pride and honesty... 🥹👍🏻
Scottish, the brave. 🏴
I am of proud Mexican/Spaniard heritage. However, I have always been enamored by the Scottish culture and bagpipes, especially this song.
I'm Maori, NZ and as a kid the pipe bands were my favourite!
Now, at 74yrs, the music of these wonderful people still affects me.
Tino pai! Very good!
Nice to see those who are proud of their tradition. If you're not, who else would be?
Exactly!!!!!!
As an Englishman I gladly admit, this still gives me goosebumps, the finest, most tenacious warriors the British ever had, and are likely to have, long live the brave.
Mair cannon fodder for your empire mair like.
A big thanks to the algorithm for bringing us all together in February 2023. Let us celebrate with a proper haggis!
I love and appreciate such pride in heritage. It's so genuine; something that isn't common these days.
Sipping Scotch whiskey while listening to the bagpipes...a glimpse of what awaits you on your way to the Gates of Heaven 🙏.
I'm from the Far East and whenever l hear the bagpipes..l feel like the angels are kissing my heart 💓..
Imagine how those hills love to hear that sound....
Fearless. Imagine them lot advancing upon you. The Scots are the bravest and most fearsome folk in the world.
Apart from the Irish.
Listening to bagpipes never gets old. Hello from Atlanta, Georgia. 👍
Thank you for your kind words .our love to Georgia. From Scotland
Thanks Georgia from the Robertson's in England
WATCHOUT THE GENOCIDAL YANKEE
If this was an army approaching I would be terrified
its crazy too think this how things were done back then
Or inspired. Either way I guess. :)
you mean the guns? you know the saying...guns dont...
That's the whole idea!
That's why they are also known as the war pipes.
Always Beautifull to listen to - As a South African I am crazy about this band pipe music
Hallo Marius, I'm also from South Africa (Pretoria) I was a bagpiper for 3 years,starting lessons in 2005 until 2008. Unfortunately life takes you on different ways and did again for take up bagpipes in 2010 for 6 months until work took me away again now for the past 13 years but would like to start again
Born Fighting as Senator Jim Webb states in his book about how Scots-Irish Americans shaped America. Im a descendant of the Montgomerys, the first Scots-Irish to settle in Appalachia. I've always loved pipe and drum corps. VMI, the military college I graduated from has one bc of the Scotish traditions in the Highlands and Valley of Virginia.
Does anyone else go online and watch the tattoo competitions? It's really quite moving and exhilarating! Several years ago I attended the Tattoo/Highland Games at Stone Mountain, just outside Atlanta. What a thrill it was to watch all those pipe & drum bands playing & marching in mass. They covered the entire field. I was crying and cheering like crazy. I would love to travel to Scotland to see the tattoo at Edinburgh Castle. I've watched it online but just know the "up close & personal" version would be so much more thrilling. There is also a large Highland Games exhibition with pipe bands at Grandfather Mountain, NC. Ahhhhhhh, bliss.
Beautiful sound of bagpipes and such beautiful Scotland country😍
Do not fear the army that heads into battle with weapons and armour. Fear the army that heads into battle with bagpipes and swag attire.
Nothing I like more as a welsh man than seeing proud scots and their pipes parading -glad were on the same side all the time now
Something about bagpipes, they hit the heart and soul!
I believe that the pipes originated in Ireland and where taken across to scotland
Brave and proud Scottish people and your amazing music which touchs my heart.
This is one of the most beautiful musics in the world, maybe the best. In our immagination people from Scotland are brave and strong people. Greetings from Italy
Hello from Florida USA love these fellows
This is not a music!!! This is Scotland the brave !!!! Love from Australia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ DrEva
God bless the Armed Forces, English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish, and further afield. A salute to each of the brave, and a minute remembrance to each of the fallen.
Scotland doesn’t have armed forces, people from scotland can join the british army if they’re culturally and politically british
@@rmac8378 why are you like this do you really hate your brothers and sisters across the UK that much we have been through everything together we are more than a union we are a family this guy was just honouring those that fight and die for us. but any opportunity you get to attack are long heritage you take it. why can't we continue to be brothers in arms and go into the future together as we have in the past.
@@luciffertribal794 i’ve nothing against english people whatsoever, i was just making the point that people from Scotland that join the british army are very probably british minded, it’s not rocket science man. When you say “everything we’ve been through” you mean ww2? Cause every other war was pointless and a waste of blood. Scotland shouldn’t be in wars around the globe, we’re a small country that doesnt have youth to waste.
As for hating people from England, Iagree with Dick Gaughan “Let friendship and honour unite and flourish on both sides of the Tweed”
@@rmac8378 Thank you for explaining and i get it i just still use the term British as its historical meaning we all are from the British Isles so we have our own nations but united together in Britain so when we say British military no one i know would call it the English military its British because its made from all corners of Britain and as for past wars before ww1 and 2 please remember it was a different time please don't judge history through the gaze of modern eyes it simply was a different time and as for wars and not many youth to go to war i completely understand we all feel the same since we have broken from the shackles of the EU i and all others i know want no more wars overseas let's focus on ourselves we need no more wars unless in self defence so we need to maintain a strong military and our nuclear capabilities but as a deterrent so no sane person would want to go to war so no loss of life. for the future all of us should focus on our people. together we can do great things we can build a united kingdom were we have everything we could ever need or want more business, more industries, more trade, future tech, we can achieve anything together. i know it was a different time and we used war but we will not use war in the future but remember we built the largest empire in human history together. one island with our history and technical prowess we can create a future we can all be proud of.
@@luciffertribal794
Ww1 was a different time yes but many stood out against the war at the time, much like iraq, so it’s not right to say “it was the times” because many many people opposed it and were jailed for doing so. Ww2 is different of course, that was a worthy war.
About nukes, I don’t believe in nuclear deterrents, i believe in protecting our borders, no country would be mad enough to nuke Scotland or England. Scotland doesn’t want them and they’ve costed us billions. As for a “united kingdom”, i don’t want a kingdom, i want a scottish republic. Also i don’t live on “one island” my country of Scotland had 700 islands. Scotland and England need to break away for both our sakes, we’re too different.
I believe culture is wealth and makes people happy and neither of our countries can have a real national culture while we’re split and confused between english or British and in Scotland Scottish or British. In your country a lot of people (especially metropolitan city folk) barely call themselves “english” because they think it sounds bad. England needs to be it’s own country.
No country on earth can match this way of marching. much love a Dutch brother.
As an American this is truly awe inspiring.
As a Vietnamese, I'm so proud of being Scottish.
I lived in Glasgow as a kid 1953 to 1956.l am 72 years old now and hearing this still brings tears to my eyes.Scotland is the land of my first memories. ❤ ❤ ❤
Home sweet home always
Makes me miss my late husband he was Scottish and he played a lot of bag pipe music and he loved it a lot.

Thank goodness we have bagpipers here in our beloved states to give us a good show
People wonder why Scots and Irish drink so much but when you make music this beautiful the only way not to cry is swallowing whisky
The sound must’ve been immense out there! I’ve heard just one set of bagpipes play live, that was enough to make my ears ring, so I can’t imagine how loud this was.
I was there that day, it was brilliant! Seeing my two nieces in the band made it even better, they play in Strathisla Pipeband.
Just great! I wished, I had been born as a son of Scotland! It's not the music, It's the feeling of an unspoiled national identity, that can be seen in this people. Scots, preserve your scottish national character. God bless Scotland!
Sends chills down my spine. You can't help but feel the power. 🏴💪
Love the cultural traditions, protect them.
Asking as we’re in a country ruled by a Pakistani and anglo Saxons, we can’t protect them.
