My great grandfather was a Scotsman in the blackwatch , he was injured in WW1 . Nothing but pride when I think of that amazing man , so glad I got to meet him .
I'm glad this was recorded, the music stirs the soul, and I love how the old ladies are right at the front and bursting with pride for their boys, it's going on my favourite list!
In the 1980s the Black Watch came to the tiny town of Bencoolen (Bengkulu) on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia and they marched with their bagpipes this tune. The whole town turned out. It was the most exciting event since Independence. Even now when I feel low in spirits I listen to the Black Watch and immediately cheer up. There is really nothing as uplifting as bagpipes.
Thanks. As A Canadian of British descent (100%) who served with the Canadian Armed Forces, and who's father served in the RAF during the last war, we have stood together for a long time. It's a pity that some of us can't put aside past differences and remain civil to each other.
Wow. I got amazing chills watching some very normal people who came together to do an incredible thing.One can only imagine the number of innocent lives these heroes, who don't even think of themselves as heroes, saved.
My grandfather was a lieutenant in the Black Watch who served in the 1914 - 1918 great war. He led men over the top, with bayonets fixed. It is a great regiment and the men who continue to serve today are upstanding, noble, and honourable. God bless them. It is very good to see the local population in Dundee connecting with thanks for their efforts overseas, and thanking these brave soldiers who uphold their national values.
I am the proud mother of a retired American soldier, but when I see any army, no matter the country, in a march, I feel such a surge of pride for that army and their country.
When I was a young lad, my parents took me with them to the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto to watch them perform every year. They full of pride seeing the Black Watch perform.
Great turnout by a great Regiment. Makes me proud! And I'm not even Scots, I'm English! I love the way you picked up the excitement, tension and atmosphere of the crowd.
As you saw in that film the Company taking up the rear got out of step, it's very common because the sound is delayed. It happened at the Queens Coronation parade, I actually started it by holding a large disc up so the troops fell in along the Mall could see it and knew they would march in 5 minutes time. I served from 1947 to 1973.
They are not only impressive, they are well-trained and damned fine fighting men. We trained with elements of the 5th Scottish Parachute Regiment in a joint operation in the mid-1970's. I would have gone to war with them anytime.
During the Indonesian Confrontation in the early 60s, because the British supported militarily the creation of a new country called Malaysia, formerly Malaya, thousands of Indonesians stormed the British embassy in Jakarta. The British military attache in full Scottish military regalia marched to the front lawn playing Scotland the Brave on his bag pipe. The sound was enough to frighten the hostile crowd out of their wits. No shot was fired and British honour was upheld. All our military bands in Malaysia have bagpipers as they do in India and Pakistan. Needless to say I enjoy pipe music enormously.
Tunku Aziz: May I add the Ghurkas from Nepal to your list? They adopted the pipes and very fine pipers they are too! Probably the most feared soldiers in the world. They scared the shit out of the Argentinians in the Falklands war even before they landed on the islands; maybe because the BBC put it out on the World Service that they (the Ghurkas) eat their enemies!
+Rusty White Read Sven Hassel biographies of his experience fighting in the German army..he spoke very highly of the Scots and how they would just keep coming at them...brave and fearless and terrifying.
''And we saw an officer leading them in a kilt and waving a sword. You can see he is an aristocratic inbred idiot, but a brave and fearless idiot. And his men will follow him to hell and back. Mon Dieu the Legionnair mumbles. Now we're in trouble. The Scots. They will not stop mes amis. Not untill we're all dead or untill they're all dead. Fuck that, Tiny says. I'll make a start then. That strotting peacock is the first. Make them eat lead.''
Mark Kavanagh Everyone is all the people in this comment section you keep "correcting" and I'm no British patriot, I'm Australian and yes I'm of Irish descent. Most Scots, Welsh and Irish speak only English, so there English? I'm English because I speak English? see how stupid that argument is? you're an anti British ideolog and bigot, and giving how you said my Irish surname was the only nice thing about me pobably an extremist Irish nationalistself, you're a self delusioned, self aggrandizing idiot, the stupidest people allways think there the smartest, talk them selves up, You're a perfect example, it's like trying to reason with an antivaxxer, or a creationist, can't reason someone out of something they didn't reason themselves into.
Adam Farnell zzzzzzzzzzzz your lack of intelligence is evident. You dont even live in this hemisphere yet your bleating on like a mad sheep about shit your clueless of. I gave you evidence and yet regardless of every idiotic reply you have offered up nothing to verify your ideology of what is British ( English) is but I have!! Based on that sole fact you can carry on getting angry as it's obvious you are. Everyone else is wrong and fuckhead Farrell is right. The history of these nations is far beyond your understanding simply because you haven't actually studied it. The Celts and Gaels of Ireland, Scotland and Wales have been around for 32 thousand years prior to the modern day English who have been here for about 3,500 years. BRITAIN WAS INVENTED DURING ROMAN TIMES AND IT MEANT ENGLISH AS I HAVE ALREADY EXPLAINED FFS. Celtic identity in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland existed long before it so British it is not!! Keep gibbering though as it's hilarious to see a childish gobshyte in full retarded flow. You Know nothing because your an amadan lol. Ask your Irish dad for his opinion on your hypothesis and don't even surprised if he gives ye a belt in the skull for your stupidity.. Now in the words of Brenda Behan fuck off. Good bye I won't be wasting any more time on you...
If i may say;"I feel You!" You are one of the most legendary troops, so long history! I´m proud to be one of finnish "jägers", Battallion, where i served, is todays in english "Lapland´s Jäger Battallion". Compared to other finnish recruits; (soldiers, etc.), WE are called "Jääkärit", it means "Hunters"! And we fight in farthest north... we are silent.. we are hunters...
Oh, how lovely those old Ladies look like!... At the same time; too much memories.. But morely they looked like "This is like when i was a child!..." And, all you Black Watch-soldiers, know this; there are only my troop, which is allowed to sing, and play, in official, this song! "Jääkärien marssi" (March of Hunters) Jääkärit/hunters, were the first people starting The Uprising 1917, which led to our independency. I have served in troop, which recalls history like you do;
At least there is The Black Watch (RHR) of Canada to carry on the traditions and history of a very proud Regiment. It is an honour to share the name of such an illustrious Regiment. My father, all his brothers (3) and all my mothers brothers (4) were in the Canadian Black Watch during the Second World War. One of my mothers brothers was buried over there. I served 18 years in the Regiment as well and left as, what you call Colour Sergeant. Proudly Canadian first and Black Watch second.
Dundee born and bred, but ashamed to say I missed this, though was probably at uni when this was going on. Had many family members going back to the Boer Wars that were in the Black Watch; had I seen this live, it would have been incredibly moving for me. Anyway thanks for the upload!
Goosebumps: The first time I saw the Black Watch marching to this tune was in Montreal on Remembrance Day when I was 8 years old. My father, a WW2 vet was one of the parade security guards dressed exactly as they are in this wonderful video. What is in this live video and missing from most recordings is the sound of the pipes changing as the parade gets closer and the sound of feet striking the ground in unision as they pass by.
Did anyone notice that the pipers had a dirk in their right stockings? These young men have every right to be proud of their work in Iraq. some of the best solders in the world. Long live Scotland, long live the Queen. From an American combat veteran.
You simply do not mess with this regiment. Battle honoured throughout history, they make me shiver with pride. What shame on our politicians, councils and the EU commissions who all seem hell bent in destroying our pride in our very tiny but very beautiful Britain.
Martin Dorman The Scottish regiments could not recruit enough Scotsmen to fill the ranks so they had to be amalgamated FACT English regiments have suffered the worst
Canadians reappy zcrewed up disbanding out blackwatch regiment. they may have been blood thirty savages but they were our blood thirsty savages. my mom was caf and told me how she was warned not to walk alone on the base at night with them around imo you can't ask a man to do the things we ask without them getting a bit twisted. either way we lost big time. Canadian Military is a joke now. we fought so hard for the respect our military deserved just to have it thrown away by corrupt government. Canadian gov is no better than the ccp now. we've trained the Chinese military to fight the west and im genuinely disgusted with my nation right now. no freedom loving nation should associate itself with the Canadian government, there's nothing good left here 😥
What fine troops. Scotland the Brave is one of my favorites and as a kid I used to play the song while playing army with my buddies. I'll take the High Road! Greetings from America!
Great to hear The Black Bear at the start of this piece. Brilliant. At long last the UK people have learnt how to welcome home their troops. Took the Canadians to show us how.
Bob total nonsense Scots done this before Canada was even a Country lmfao Most of Canada are ex Scots. That's why Canada copies Scotland in Canadian Marches but they don't come close to Scots higher Class.
As a former American soldier, who feels a shiver run thru my body, and a desire to run and join them, when I hear a military march, and see soldiers marching, I do aver, the British Military has a show of elan, a strut that no other military has. Their music, their appearance, and their pageantry are a class act. God curse and destroy the sorry IS admirers, the politicians who embraced PC diversity, and those responsible who have enfeebled our culture so that such fine young soldiers can no longer walk proudly, in uniform, among those they protect.
The change to not wear uniform in public for Britsh Forces on the mainland really dates back to the days of the IRA (an organisation partially funded via support from some in the US given via Sinn Fein).
if we did not have PC diversity we would not have accepted the scots as part of the UK nor the Irish or the Welsh, the UK is not English its s made up of four nations each diverse and distinct but join to the other as brothers in one nation
"we would not have accepted the scots as part of the UK" Who "we" you know that the UK came about because of a Scottish King taking over the english crown, God curse him!
I love bag pipe music and marching and this is great. But what i love the most is the veterans marching after. They are true heroes and should never be forgotten.
Im a 7th generation American. Yet, I have the highest respect for the Black Watch. In my opinion they are one of the top 3 Regiments of Soldiers in history. Im proud to be a descendant of Clan Gregor. DESPITE THEM ALL
18 75 Say that to their faces, I assume you’re either a moron or not Scottish - if you are then you’re the traitor. Scotland and England are both as “British” as each other.
A very interesting clip: It has everything. A fine band of fighting men, marching with purpose through the streets: the rattle of the snare drum, and the bagpipes sending out the Black Bear [ return to barracks ], before an adoring crowd lining the streets. Two youths eagerly keep up with the troops as the last section march through, and an old man finds a place finally to cross the road.
I LOVE the contrast in feeling between the bagpipers, then the brass. Musically it's a different experience. Each is BRILLIANT, and i love them back-to-back.
just a thought, have you checked Russian history, just how much Scotland have been active in your history, go have a look, I think you may be surprised. We have the same saint, St Andrew and his flag.
Just one item, when Scots troops wear the kilt, they also wear White gaiters, this was to mark a retreat, but carried out in the best Scottish tradition, they ran out of footwear, tore up blankets and sheets, and used that to save their feet. So, the history of the White Gaiter.
As a American Scotsman i love this such a wonderful group i laugh at the sories of the Nazis running scared and fearful of these brave Lads and ghosts of the forest long live the UK here in America we love you and thank you for being so kind to us God bless you all in UK
My wife lived in Dundee for a bit when she was a kid. Her dad was English and we are still friendly with a family in Dundee. Great country, just visited last summer. I am from the US and I love going to the British Isles!
Impressive! Makes me proud that I have some Scottish blood. A Fijian colleague once mentioned to me that there were some Fijians in the Black Watch, I hadn't given it any thought until I saw this. If their families could not make it to the march past then I hope at least they get to see this vid. Christchurch, NZ.
With such a march, the budget for a historical and military film can be saved. And the question is not about money but about emotions that should be evoked in people when they watching this moment. To be honest - I love it! Thanks! Greetings from Ukraine!
+Carolina to the Caribbean military service under any branch of any army, can turn any soft craven snowflake into a brave steel solid warrior, and that stays for life... so even when you can barely walk, you still have that spark in you!!
Just saying but my grandpa was in the scottish highland light infantry in cyprus and he told me that the berets was to mark red for eneimy blood white for snow and the badge for HLI
I LOVE bagpipe music ... and I'm Mexican. But when I hear the pipes playing and a marching band marching, they give me the chills! I want to stand up straight and salute them. Great pride for your country!!!! I never heard that expression, Ladies from hell.
Просмотрел 10 раз и все время мурашки по коже идут, насколько эпично это выглядит, а самое главное, какой великий послужной список Black watch за всю свою историю. Браво!
Any school that has a marching band should require it's members to study these guys,because they are absolute PERFECTION! I spent 19yrs in the military and any group or unit I've ever seen dosen't even come close.When you can tell that you're going to see something outstanding before you can even see them it's awesome!
American Scott I am and Damm proud to be Scottland s cousins. McClain is clans name ... infamous We are...Forever Scottish, Forever Scottland. It's in the blood!
What a load of rubbish brave men playing the bagpipes. Remember this is the same nation of brave men and women who less than five years ago turned down the chance to vote for independence and be brave enough to stand on their own two feet. Scotland the Brave .....I think not. From someone who voted YES !
@@davidcollins8604 majority of scots voted yes remember. But i agree, centuries of divide and rule and indoctrination and now we’re cowards of a country.
My Local Regiment. It makes the hairs on my arms stand up watching this. So proud of you guys! I am actually in Sfax Tunisia...And there are many of your fallen comrades from WW2 in the cemetery here. Thanks to them for their sacrafice for all of us.
My great-grandmother's brothers served in Scottish regiments during the First World War. One was in the Scotts guards and the other was in the black watch. Her grandfather I believe served in India during the mutiny of 1857. Much love from the USA.
Great grandad (who lived until I was 18) and Grandad (who raised me and my sister from 3 y.o.)were both Black Watch. I joined an English Light Infantry Regiment (RGJ)
The look on that soldier's face at 1.42 funny, Thank you too all the lads and lassies that stand guard over me and my family whilst we sleep, no matter the weather, Thank You one and all and God Bless you.
Was privelaged to visit the Canadian cemetery/memorial at Vimy Ridge. It was inspiring and humbling in equal measure. The memorial is truly epic!! My father fought in WW2 with troops from all corners of the Commonwealth. We are brothers, we are stronger together. I truly believe that. Don't let politicians tear us apart. 👊
I was born in Scotland and came out to Australia with my parents as a child. Love Australia but I'm very proud to be of Scottish birth. My dad was in the Highland Light Infantry (HLI) and I was very proud of him.Don't think I ever made him aware of that before he died a few years back.
My great grandfather was a Scotsman in the blackwatch , he was injured in WW1 . Nothing but pride when I think of that amazing man , so glad I got to meet him .
Famous regiment
I'm glad this was recorded, the music stirs the soul, and I love how the old ladies are right at the front and bursting with pride for their boys, it's going on my favourite list!
My mother loved The Black Watch and stood proudly as they played Scotland The Brave.
I'm an American, and not of Scottish descent but "Scotland the Brave" always sends chills up spine.
Yes, as an American let me just say....
THIS IS SO COOL !
Scotland brave isn't played in this video, jsybothk
My grandpa. Served in black watch 1900, before he immigrated to the states. Thanks.
In the 1980s the Black Watch came to the tiny town of Bencoolen (Bengkulu) on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia and they marched with their bagpipes this tune. The whole town turned out.

The cuts and amalgamations of the Scottish regiments has been done to them by Westminster and has nothing to do with the EU.

Bob total nonsense Scots done this before Canada was even a Country lmfao Most of Canada are ex Scots. That's why Canada copies Scotland in Canadian Marches but they don't come close to Scots higher Class.
You definitely don't mess with the "Ladies from Hades". Proud of my Scottish heritage.
An absolutely great clip; stirs the heart. They look and sound magnificent!
My grandfather serves with the black watch during WW2 . He was so proud of this...
As a former American soldier, who feels a shiver run thru my body, and a desire to run and join them, when I hear a military march, and see soldiers marching, I do aver, the British Military has a show of elan, a strut that no other military has. Their music, their appearance, and their pageantry are a class act. God curse and destroy the sorry IS admirers, the politicians who embraced PC diversity, and those responsible who have enfeebled our culture so that such fine young soldiers can no longer walk proudly, in uniform, among those they protect.
The change to not wear uniform in public for Britsh Forces on the mainland really dates back to the days of the IRA (an organisation partially funded via support from some in the US given via Sinn Fein).
the black watch where Scottish rogues sent over to rough the Irish catholics up. learn your history
What a thick Paddy wankstain you are.
if we did not have PC diversity we would not have accepted the scots as part of the UK nor the Irish or the Welsh, the UK is not English its s made up of four nations each diverse and distinct but join to the other as brothers in one nation
"we would not have accepted the scots as part of the UK" Who "we" you know that the UK came about because of a Scottish King taking over the english crown, God curse him!
It's amazing what a sense of pride, honor and just plain elation seeing something as simple as the will make a person feel so good.
Very proud and true unit! Great history! With respect from 'The States'.
I love bag pipe music and marching and this is great. But what i love the most is the veterans marching after. They are true heroes and should never be forgotten.
Deep respect for those guys! Had the honour of meeting them in Basra, Iraq in May of 2003
Im a 7th generation American. Yet, I have the highest respect for the Black Watch. In my opinion they are one of the top 3 Regiments of Soldiers in history. Im proud to be a descendant of Clan Gregor. DESPITE THEM ALL
Steve Greer Black watch are scottish traitors, fuck the brits🏴
18 75 Say that to their faces, I assume you’re either a moron or not Scottish - if you are then you’re the traitor. Scotland and England are both as “British” as each other.
@@1875-b6n Your a bastard
A very interesting clip: It has everything. A fine band of fighting men, marching with purpose through the streets: the rattle of the snare drum, and the bagpipes sending out the Black Bear [ return to barracks ], before an adoring crowd lining the streets. Two youths eagerly keep up with the troops as the last section march through, and an old man finds a place finally to cross the road.
I LOVE the contrast in feeling between the bagpipers, then the brass. Musically it's a different experience. Each is BRILLIANT, and i love them back-to-back.
...even the vets are in step! Proud to wear the Black Watch stable belt when we were an established unit. 1 New Zealand Scottish RNZAC.
They are among the best fighting men in the world.
Bless all of you
RESPECT to Scotland from Russia. The Scots are a warrior nation.
yes thats true, more than 10000 years of constant battles , Scotland the Brave
just a thought, have you checked Russian history, just how much Scotland have been active in your history, go have a look, I think you may be surprised. We have the same saint, St Andrew and his flag.
Just one item, when Scots troops wear the kilt, they also wear White gaiters, this was to mark a retreat, but carried out in the best Scottish tradition, they ran out of footwear, tore up blankets and sheets, and used that to save their feet. So, the history of the White Gaiter.

Well said Scotland 🏴 the brave 💪🏽
Yes, but we beat them in the Crimean war
Respekt from Germany 💪🏻💂🏼♂️ its amazing 👌🏼
As a American Scotsman i love this such a wonderful group i laugh at the sories of the Nazis running scared and fearful of these brave Lads and ghosts of the forest long live the UK here in America we love you and thank you for being so kind to us God bless you all in UK
You're as Scottish as a Londoner
“American Scotsman” 😂 😂
My wife lived in Dundee for a bit when she was a kid. Her dad was English and we are still friendly with a family in Dundee. Great country, just visited last summer. I am from the US and I love going to the British Isles!
Impressive! Makes me proud that I have some Scottish blood. A Fijian colleague once mentioned to me that there were some Fijians in the Black Watch, I hadn't given it any thought until I saw this. If their families could not make it to the march past then I hope at least they get to see this vid.
Christchurch, NZ.
With such a march, the budget for a historical and military film can be saved. And the question is not about money but about emotions that should be evoked in people when they watching this moment. To be honest - I love it! Thanks! Greetings from Ukraine!
Damm!!!!! They look great!!!!
By the way, about the ones behind. Do not be mistake the gray hair,still got plenty of woop ass in then!!!
Love that comment mate.
They have that confidence of an asskicking brigade in their strut. Even the guy with the cane had no problem keeping pace and keeping up.
+Carolina to the Caribbean military service under any branch of any army, can turn any soft craven snowflake into a brave steel solid warrior, and that stays for life... so even when you can barely walk, you still have that spark in you!!
Hell yeah man!
Just saying but my grandpa was in the scottish highland light infantry in cyprus and he told me that the berets was to mark red for eneimy blood white for snow and the badge for HLI
I LOVE bagpipe music ... and I'm Mexican. But when I hear the pipes playing and a marching band marching, they give me the chills! I want to stand up straight and salute them. Great pride for your country!!!! I never heard that expression, Ladies from hell.
Просмотрел 10 раз и все время мурашки по коже идут, насколько эпично это выглядит, а самое главное, какой великий послужной список Black watch за всю свою историю. Браво!
My Local Regiment. It makes the hairs on my arms stand up watching this. So proud of you guys!
Any school that has a marching band should require it's members to study these guys,because they are absolute PERFECTION! I spent 19yrs in the military and any
group or unit I've ever seen dosen't even come close.When you can tell that you're
going to see something outstanding before you can even see them it's awesome!
We all love The Black watch March past Dundee Band just a great sound from the Bagpipes all Brave Men
"There was a soldier . . . a Scottish soldier." Love and respect from the Big Island of Hawaii to my Scottish kinsmen.
Proud to be Scottish! Bagpipes make my heart happy!
American Scott I am and Damm proud to be Scottland s cousins.
McClain is clans name ... infamous
We are...Forever Scottish, Forever
Scottland. It's in the blood!
What a load of rubbish brave men playing the bagpipes. Remember this is the same nation of brave men and women who less than five years ago turned down the chance to vote for independence and be brave enough to stand on their own two feet. Scotland the Brave .....I think not. From someone who voted YES !
@@davidcollins8604 majority of scots voted yes remember. But i agree, centuries of divide and rule and indoctrination and now we’re cowards of a country.
@@davidcollins8604 Clown.
@@kennydo1 Was it Mummy or Daddy that helped you think up this fabulous reply? rwknae!
Respect to the black watch, some of the best men in the U.K's army, respect from the USA
My Local Regiment. It makes the hairs on my arms stand up watching this. So proud of you guys! I am actually in Sfax Tunisia...And there are many of your fallen comrades from WW2 in the cemetery here. Thanks to them for their sacrafice for all of us.
Possibly the most storied among us. From Colony to Country the 40 "TWA" did it all.Total respect to the Scots.. Alba Gu Braith
This is the british army man
Among Us.
Typically goofy American post. Scotland was never a 'colony' and they are part of the BRITISH army lol
Memory of you leaving Aden I was so proud of you as many feared attAck as you left.
My favourites from that day. Full highland dress. X
As a vet I will have to say their units are sharp and impressive sends chills down me
My great-grandmother's brothers served in Scottish regiments during the First World War. One was in the Scotts guards and the other was in the black watch. Her grandfather I believe served in India during the mutiny of 1857. Much love from the USA.
A fine band of men who have served Britain bravely and faithfully for many long years.
Great grandad (who lived until I was 18) and Grandad (who raised me and my sister from 3 y.o.)were both Black Watch. I joined an English Light Infantry Regiment (RGJ)
Well done Jocks that was first class!
RESPECT FROM GREECE.
A MAK, AMPHIBIOUS COMMANDO BATTALION.
Got to love our young boys. They'll never be beat.
Vandaag is het Mijn verjaardag
They were beat at new Orleans
92nd Highlanders you know?
I am Irish and there is no better sight than seeing these guys march.
Dad was in the back watch in ww2. he would have enjoyed this.
They lead the way on D-Day.
The look on that soldier's face at 1.42 funny, Thank you too all the lads and lassies that stand guard over me and my family whilst we sleep, no matter the weather, Thank You one and all and God Bless you.
Bloody good video, ol' chaps!! (from Kentucky, USA!!)
Thank you for the post. Such tradition! And tears.....
Some of my relatives served in the Black Watch of Canada during WW I. Badasses on both sides of the water!
Was privelaged to visit the Canadian cemetery/memorial at Vimy Ridge. It was inspiring and humbling in equal measure. The memorial is truly epic!!
My father fought in WW2 with troops from all corners of the Commonwealth. We are brothers, we are stronger together. I truly believe that. Don't let politicians tear us apart. 👊
Saw the Band of the Black Watch live once. They were doing a tour and had a stop in our city. Impressive is not strong enough to describe them!
Respect from Croatia
Respect to the black watch...from a ex Cheshire regiment soldier 👍🇬🇧🏴🏴
Hi from the US to my cousins on the isles
I was born in Scotland and came out to Australia with my parents as a child. Love Australia but I'm very proud to be of Scottish birth. My dad was in the Highland Light Infantry (HLI) and I was very proud of him.Don't think I ever made him aware of that before he died a few years back.
