My grandfather told me that his home town, Tilburg in the Netherlands, was liberated by the Scottish. The first thing they heard in November 1944 was a bagpipes in the far distance a very soft humming sound that came nearer. He told me that everybody went outside to see where the sound was coming from. There the Scottish arrived to officially liberate the city. My grandfather always held very dear memories to the Scots who liberated him, his family, his community, the city where I live. We're still very grateful and associate the bagpipes with liberation and freedom.
Beautiful story ,lest we forget the brave men and woman who fought for the freedom we have now
Great story
Truly moving story. It creates a beautiful image and somehow gives me joy.
Best wishes from Germany.
wow
Wow
I’m not even Scottish but I would rise up and fight to this song
Flight the English and free themselves from the union.

Don't make sense to me,stay with us!
@@edwardvickers5506 Scottish deserve independence, If they wanna join the 4th reich then so be it.
I‘m German and the Scottish culture has a special place in my heart, I love the kilts, the bagpipes, the Highland Games and the scenery. It is all so incredibly beautiful. Hats off to all the Scottish lads who keep that wonderful tradition alive and appreciate their culture in such a wonderful way.

Bagpipes have always given me goosebumps. I love them. I’m Mexican American.
Welcome.
I am also Mexican American.
They make you feel like fighting or fornicating. Maybe both at the same time 😂
I am German - I have them too, especially on St. Patricks Day ;)
As they say: "When you hear the pipes approaching, help or death is on you."
Or helping you to your death 💀
Love it 😆👍
The Germans or Axis perspective : Scheiße
The British or Allied perspective :
Englishman here: can confirm.
This is the 1st time I ever heard that
I don't know why, but bagpipes always makes me really emotional.
Its what they use in funerals
I always picture charging the field like the final scene in BRAVEHEART 💪😎
I always feel emotional whenever I hear the pipes.

Me too! Here I am today with tears brimming in my eyes and a smile on my face. I'm a Texan.... so this is strange for me to be crying.
I’m English/Welsh and the pipes and drums stir something deep within me. My Welsh Mum often said that although she and my Dad had travelled to 42 countries she never felt closer to god than when she was in Scotland. This brings tears to my eyes.
Yes, the bagpipes make me feel so close to GOD. As an American I can say thank you Scotland. Whenever I was in the presence of bagpipes, it was proceeded by a gust of wind. This means our heavenly father loves the bagpipes!
O just love the the pipes of Scotland they are the best from simone from the uk
She was!!!
I'm an American with Scottish roots and all I can think of is how much of an honor and a privilege it would be just to see this in person. I'm moved in so many ways
Same here.
Get over here - get some whisky in you and feel the crack of the drums and the drone of the pipes electrify those ancient Scottish genes 🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
Same. Maybe we should consider some kind of your group
This is possibly the most powerful, haunting, delightful, intimidating, foreboding and reassuring human expressions in all the history of the world: an army of bagpipes and drums coming down a road. Friends stop to look and listen. Enemies run.
well said sir
there is a reason why those magnificent regiments have been the tip of the spear for the British army for centuries - salute - from Texas
My dear old Mom was half German and Scottish, when I hear a Pipe Band the Scottish in my Boer blood brings a lump in my throat and tears to my eyes....Salute from South Africa...
Well said salute from the USA
Well said
This music could bring a tear to a glass eye.
Yea pretty sure it could bring the tear ducts are still there haha lol

It’s not that bad, is it? ;)
Can't see bugger all my glass eyes are seeking😭
I am scottish and my dad was a piper all his life .Passed away 3 years ago ...i miss him everday .🏴🏴❤💙❤
thank you pipers ♡♡
My father was also a piper I love the bagpipes remember him playing in the tattoo he passed away 7 years ago still miss the old rogue 🙂
I miss my dad also. So thankful to have known him. That is their gift to us. We always have it.
I am Turkish. I love Scottish culture and have great respect for the Scottish people and history.
I’m not Scottish but bagpipes have always moved me in an incredible way, ever since I was a child and heard them for the first time, long life to this music!
Ekstra muzyka
I‘m german. And I bow to you. Let us never again fight against. (Pardon my bad english, but you know, what I mean)
Oh me too what is it about this marching music?? I love it and go to our local Highland Games every year....the massed pipes and drums are there from a over Ontario it is an amazing site. It brings me to tears when they March past.
Ditto, I feel the same. I freeze at the sound. Nothing like this music and all it stands for.
Me too, whit that music and the magical sound of bagpipes! I was very young, too.
Two days ago I was walking my dog in Redondo Beach, California and was stunned to encounter a lone bagpiper playing away alongside the bicycle path. I was awed! It was beautiful!
Yes, i totally agree! As a german its a very rare experience to meet a bagpipe musician and i had the luck to
encounter one in our City playing in front of a book store. There is nothing that can replace the athmosphere,
a good bagpiper could evoke
Pleased for you. I hope he was playing The 79th's Farewell to Gibraltar 😉
Name dropper!!...lol
I'm in San Pedro..and there's a young lad with pipes playing alone at pt. Fermin park..in the fog.
I would have froze in one spot if I encountered that one. I live in Southern Calif also. Been to Redondo Beach many times. Love that part of the county.
This sends a shiver down my spine every time, proud tae be scottish, Scotland forever!
Dumb question. Mum's Irish, dad's a Scot. I'm born in England. Is this allowed to move me the way it does?
@Paul L of course, just because you were born in England doesn't exclude the fact that your families heritage is celtic

Scots and irish are not the same .
Also most scots don't want independence
How did independence go for you ?
If I’m not mistaken many Croats have to leave the country to go to western Europe to make a decent living!
It’s not only for the ears, it’s also for the heart....
It's to annoy my shitty roommate next door.

Why dae people say shite like this??
And mainly for the soul !!
TRUE THAT!!!
There is pride in every nation, but nothing beats the rattle of the snare drum and the sound of the pipes!

My grandfather was a drummer in a pipe band when I was a kid and I remember going to Dunblane in the 80's and watching him and listening to him playing it was amazing I still love listening to the music to this day it takes me back to my childhood, oh they were the days I wish to go back and see it all again
I'm just an American that has never been outside her own country, but I do love the sound of pipes and drums.
I'm a Scotsman who has been away from his beloved Scotland for too many years. Health reasons would not allow me to return now. But I do miss Scotland. I grew up near Edinborough, in a small village that as of about 20 years ago, hasn't changed.

I am of Irish decent but I don't care the Bagpipes played correctly are beautiful. I love hearing the bagpipes
Please Scotland, never lose this.
Look at the numbers of very disciplined and dedicated (and handsome) proud players.
You are amazing.
Thank you.
Yes, amazing altogether. If these lads were to bring out the angry and fighting spirit - watch out - there's be none better
ypaaaaa
Yes exactly. And this is why we have to defeat Globalist multiculturalism within Europe because what will lose is the unique qualities of each European nation who are hated by non-Europeans who are displacing, robbing and killing them.
@Canadian Mapping it's the U in United Kingdom. The rest is pure Scottish and Scottish only
@Canadian Mapping well that tradition is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo goddamn stupid and irritating for me. Every bloody time I hear bagpipes my ears bleed.
In 1950 , We koreans were surprise by their skirts of Scottish men at Pusan harbor.
.now we deeply appreciate their sacrifice in Korean war.
The kilt is traditional Scottish costume and is often mistaken for a skirt
It's the sound of Victory. Would love to march 'em through Pyongyang today if I had a say!

THATS THE MELODY THEY ALWAYS USED TO PLAY NEXT TO MY HOUSE. THIS AWAKENS SO MANY MEMORIES FROM MY CHILDHOOD. I LOVE IT SO MUCH
I have no idea as a Fil-Canadian but I am deeply mesmerized by bagpipes, especially Scottish bagpipes.
My uncle Sgt Maurice Kelly MM was at El Alamein. His unit was caught under heavy German gunfire. Then they heard the sound of the bagpipes and saw the Scottish soldiers advance straight into a maelstrom of fire. They followed them. Amazing bravery. The Germans pulled back.
Is this a true story? Sounds made up, mate.
That's a beautiful story. Thank you, you warmed my heart. Hope it's true.
Fuck the Germans,nazi bastards
@@DctorSkillz1it's documented many times where the sound of the pipes has stirred the troops to fight and resulted in a win where before they were getting their asses ķicked
Yes this is true, Scots don't fuk about and can punch way above our weight ! 👍
How can you not gets goosebumps every time you hear "Scotland the Brave" on the pipes! Love from 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm of Scottish descent and love the sound of the pipes and even had a piper play at my dad's funeral in 1987, but I have to be honest and say "Scotland The Brave" is not one of my favorite tunes. Just my own tastes, of course. I'm perfectly fine with somebody else regarding it as one of their favorites.
My family escaped to America in the 1750's, from the British, the sound of bag pipes brings tears to me also. It could be because of all those that died so my family could escape and live to someday return to Scotland. A lot of brave Scots gave their lives to protect my family, the Royal Stewart's of Scotland . I pray that soon Scotland will be free!
@Old Luke Is this the Scottish version of " Love your enemies?" 😀
@Talorc MacAllan , here is something that might give you a laugh. My daughter was doing research on our ancestors and came across the song, " MY BONNIE LIES OVER THE OCEAN." Now if this song was about Prince Charles Edward Stewart, why would it say, " My Bonnie lies over the ocean."
He was exiled in Italy... NOW HERE IS THE FUNNY PART...
My daughter suspects that the song is about one of our ancestors... One who was here in Kentucky by 1750', (Walter Stewart) and others came in the 1780's or the 1790's.I'm not so sure about this meaning of the song. Is it possible that they had "code songs"? Then again there's the ship captain named Cameron that supposedly snuck out Prince Charles Edward Stewarts son as a baby claiming the baby as his.
IF you have any information on this it would be really interesting to find out the truth on the song. And to see if my daughter was right.She was before, in grade school, she said that Prince William and Prince Harry was cousins. Diana is a direct descendant of Mary Queen of Scots.
@@thedukeofskull1383 the version I remember is...
My bonnie lies over the ocean
My bonnie lies over the sea
My daddy lies over my mummy
And that's how the fuckers got me.
I'm not sure if that's the original version
Brings back my childhood for every Single Remberance Day marching with the thousands of men and women with my father, uncles and many, many friends. So much a part of me being of Scottish origin
Instant tears in the eyes. So powerful
I have just read this my late Dad was one of the pipers who liberated Tilburg he was Pipe Sgt Harry Forbes of the Highland Light Infantry (HLI ) he made many friends there and returned every year to play his pipes in the annual parade He loved the Dutch people and they loved him. I have visited Tilburg on a number of occasions and was in fact on a motorcycle tour of Scotland and watched this display on the day it happened. Great story thanks .

Soy de Paraguay, mi abuelo era de Gales,a los 12 años era el año de 1865 emigró a la Argentina y de ahí mi padre vino al Paraguay cuando los ferrocarriles estaban bajo la administración de los ingleses.Yo soy considerado ingles de 2da generación.Amo a mi país el Paraguay (Sudamérica)pero lo único que puedo decir es que cuando escucho las gaitas mis venas parecen que van a reventar y mi corazón late con más fuerza y como dice el dicho" la sangre no es agua".Tuve tíos que pelearon en la segunda guerra mundial específicamente en Dunquerque y lo único que les puedo decir es que los quiero mucho y arriba ese sonar de las gaitas que me ponen en unión con mis ancestros.Saludos desde Asunción-Paraguay (Corazón de América del Sur)
I can easily cry everytime i hear the bagpipe's sound.. and I'm italian. So emotional ❤

Im an English ex service man, my Dad was an English ex service yet we both absolutely adore the pipes and m y Dad was piped out at his funeral . Respect to Scotland ,Ireland and Wales

@s H Lmao where??? U talking about the Scottish government where one of their main driving ideologies is Scottish nationalism, and they've got Muslims in Scotland wearing tartan at weddings, etc.
@s H Scotland is one of the most highly patriotic and nationalistic countries I know of, the fact you have brought Sinn Fein into this shows you have underlying grievances you'r not telling us. The SNP's main goal is to restore Scottish sovereignty and promote Scottish culture, they have reorganised the Scottish education system so children are taught proper Scots history and not rubbish like the tudors, normans, King Arthur, etc which is taught elsewhere in the UK. Everywhere you go now there is Gaelic on road signs, on police, fire and ambulance vehicles - this is the SNP pushing this.
No one denied any made up services so made up spear throwers and sandal wearing bombers can get them first, you're just making stuff up to push your deluded agenda.
Cheers..
From USA but Scot Irish all the way
Lets remember all the brave men and women who gave such huge sacrifices.We all bow our heads and say a prayer for those fine people.
@s H Don't worry until they ban such music.Then you know you have been over run.The real threat is from those who refuse to assimilate to the host countries culture,if they can't do that they do NOT belong there.God bless Scottland.
This beautiful sound has a universal draw. It calls all mankind to stand to attention in celebration of humanity, freedom and all that is worth cherishing. I am not Scottish and yet somehow this music is my beacon.
Those of us who are can honor the fact that you know when something has beauty and meaning.

The Spirit of Scottish people will live on forever and ever never to die in the hearts of those with Scottish Blood ❤️🏴❤️🏴❤️🏴
For me this is the finest expression of any marching military force in the world. It just doesn't come any better than this in terms of spectacle and sheer heart and emotion....maybe the Scottish people take this for granted?...you shouldn't, this is very very special.

Greatest sound in the world is listening to a pipe band approaching 🥰
im an english man living Scotland and i love all things Scottish , especially the pipes , they have a lot to be proud of !
they were not invented in Scotland though, they were invented by celtic tribes who originated in central Europe, bagpipes are used in several European folk music traditions it's just the Scots who have used them the most
Nice one Andy, if you love Scotland, it will love you. :)

My dad was the Pipe Sgt. of The San Francisco Highlanders in the early 1960's and then he became Pipe Mgr. of The Sierra Highlanders in Reno where he lived until his untimely passing in 1981. This grabs me from so far inside my heart words can't describe my inner feelings when i hear Scottish Pipes, when he died i got his skindo which was made by my grandfather whom i barely knew, it was stolen from me a short time later & to this day some year later as im now 63, he was 52 at the time of his death, but it still pisses me off to no end with a one of a kind in the world and gone in a minute.
Skeendoo is a phonetic spelling, in Scots Gaelic it is Sgain dubh, 'black knife'.
My ancestors are from Wales, some moved to the East Coast of the U.S. and were ship builders, I’m a drummer, love the drums and especially the pipes, Beautiful, I’m proud of my roots.
It's strange, I was just talking to my friend about Galicia in north-west Spain, which is also Celtic, and I told her that they also play the bagpipes there. She said that she doesn't like the sound and I play this video for her and I get goose bumps every time and the tears just run down my old man's cheeks. Apart from German Christmas songs as a child, nothing touches me as much as the sound of the bagpipes. Now she also says that it gets under her skin.
I'm approaching my first "birthday" as an "adopted" Scotsman, February 16, 2023 when I bought my first kilt and started studying Scottish history and Gaelic. Pipes have never failed to lift my spirits, move my feet, nor water my eyes at their sounds.
The sheer fact that these people can march in step, hold and play this difficult instrument and not miss a beat or step 🥰😍🤩is truly awesome and all the good words that one can think of to describe these awesome men women and children.

Same for me as my father loved them and had great respect for BRITISH military and its history. He fought in the Bastogne for the US but had a passion for British military history.
I was born near Liverpool and me mum was from Glasgow. I cry like a baby when I hear bagpipes and don't understand exactly why. But I still cry like a baby. J
Watching this from South Africa. There truly is somthing magical and majestic about the pipes! Go Scotland!
Doesn't matter what century, the pipes and the beautiful hills behind them are truly spirit moving!
I’m second generation Australian but clearly the Scots blood runs through the veins. Gives me goose bumps every time I hear the pipes and drums.
The same, and I'm 10th generation Acadian (US French) - but my ancestors' (Browne) blood stirs strongly on hearing the pipes and drums. It's uncommon to see a military or police funeral in a major US city without pipes to see the departed home.

i am dutch. one of my neighbours played the bagpipes(i had no idea). one day i went out camping in the backyard with a mate of mine and we said how epic it would be to be awoken by bagpipes in the morning.

The leader of the march looks so heroic! The proud way he carries himself. Fierce and ready to lead his troupe to battle. I get goose bumps watching this.

This reminds me of my childhood. Bagpipes was the first instrument I played at age 13. I was in a bagpipes band like this. But my parents moved so I had to quit.
Now i'm 25 and I play piano, electric guitar and violin. But bagpipes still hold a place in my heart :)
I will always love the pipes, there isnt an instrument that can effortlessly make me misty eyed when played in absolute unison. Power to the scots, power to the UK. Forever brothers and sisters in arms.
Nothing. No other music on this earth and I love them all...matches the pride a Scotsman feels in their blood....the sound of the pipes and the drummers....
Heard the bagpipes and drums at the Queens funeral ..Its when I think I took notice What an incredible sound ..Moving Haunting Ispirational Motivational .Im English but this sound would make me pound to be a Scotlander..
I would stand at attention for this any time any where! One of the only songs/ group types that gives me instant chills every single time!
I’ve been told that the marshaling thrum and best of the drums matches the typical cadences of the adult human heart and can actually influence the heart to match the same time. Little wonder then that the peoples and Dems, in unison, Scots and sassenachs, in much the same way.
So proud to be British, the Scots are undeniably unbeatable! God bless every one of them.
I'm from Brazil... I love this culture!!! April, 2024, I'll be there... iN Scothland!!!!!!
Also, OMG... bagpipes, WOW , chills , goosebumps, especially in parade with many and watching them march. No words... just feel so proud !!!!
Most of my ancestry is Scottish, and the sound of bagpipes thrills me to my soul. I remember a few years ago that a bigpipe player used to practice in a park just down the street from me, and I would go to listen to him play. There's something about pipes being played a few feet away from you that stirs you like nothing else. I can believe that people would be ready to fight just because of the soundwaves coming from a set of pipes like that. 😄
Me too. Always have goosebumps when I hear bagpipes. It's in my blood
The skirl of the pipes and the soul responds.
That's why you can be proud to be Scottish. May the Lord protect you. Greetings from the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg
Follow follow W,A, T, P
Much respect from Kenya. Uniqueness unparalleled. The accompanying bagpipes 👌
Croat here, on my second journey all through the Scotland for few months. Dear Scots, I admire your history and what you have done for the modern world of today (just google Scottish inventions).
Since I love history, I have studied and read books about what England was doing to you (not to mention what they did to Ireland), and I have to say that I love Scotland!
From islands to highlands!
Edinburgh is the most beautiful city in the world, for me. And I have travelled a lot, trust me.
Beautiful country, beautiful people!
I even love your food, even though I've been told that it's not good before I came over here.
You and Irish got my deepest respect!
Looking forward to better days ahead.
Come to Croatia whenever, we got a lot of love for you! ❤️🏴🇮🇪🇭🇷
Why does this video have to be so beautiful.
The rustic town, the forest on the background, and the band! Amazing.
Even the Dogs are barking... Alba Gru Brath!!
Maintaining tradition and customs with a splendid tribute to the heritage of the people. Beautiful.
Sad to see it disappearing so quickly after hundreds of years of existence.
Since when are bagpipes and Scottish culture disappearing
John Marston I hope not. Be nice.
The Savage Wombat if anything it's grown in recent years with the popularity of Scottish nationalism
I salute to all participants. ❤ I like this music very much. In this circumstances I would like to say that I am bag-pipe player who learnt music without NOTATIONS. I also want to say that I would like to visit SCOTT LAND only for bag-pipe music. But I know this hope will never be success in this my life. Thanks🙏
Ein Herz geht jedes mal auf , wenn ich diese stolzen Schotten sehe👍und Höre, Gänsehaut und lächeln vom ganzen Herzen⭐ liebe Grüße aus Österreich
I have no idea as to why this reaches the very depths of me, & I'm Mexican! I would march with these Men into battle with all my Honor!
Cause they're awesome and your Warrior within is talking to you.

Yess , vivel 'alliance Ecosse et Bretagne France 🇫🇷 . Thank you. I love you and respect. Merci .
Part of our clan moved to Canada and then the midwest USA. On the move, looking for green pastures and opportunity, but the old country stories and pride always remained. Now my native Scot relatives have passed. But these pipers! It feels like im being spoken to from the grave. Nothing but tears. Long live Clan Fraser.
I American but when I hear the bagpipes and drums my hairs raise on my arm and I'm looking for a sword I don't own so I can join their ranks. The music is SO INSPIRING To get up and fight for our Scottish Brothers and Sisters! God bless....
Right there with you! Where the hell is that sword and buckler?
You want to watch the film brave heart brilliant
I do own a sword, quiet a few infact I'll let you borrow and we'll march into battle together for the ancestors. Much love from the U.S.A. for my ancestorial home land.
