Mike G Mike G 0 seconds ago 2022 - reminiscing. I'm a Kiwi. ex military. Best work friend and I bought 2 tickets nearly 1 yr in advance of this Tattoo. We were both traveling (going walkabouts-like). Three days before finale - friend cant make it to Scotland. What to do? Had best seats in entire show. Center 2 seats, 2 rows below royal box with HRH Prince Charles present. On the night I que with me, myself and I. I approach 1 and all with no scalping - just please someone use the ticket! NOT A CHANCE. LIKE I HAD THE POX! 12 m from the entrance I overhear a bunch of locals saying to one of their own " sorry you cant join us but we'll meet you here ..." March up to them, stand to attention, Country, Name, rank, serial number, and reason why i have 2nd best ticket in town. They take a chance, I share enjoyment of a lifetime, they in return offer a lone Kiwi some local hospitality after the show! I'm an Irish Kiwi - God Bless the Scots.
@vanth77 I'm not even from Gaelic or Celtic descent, at least not as far as I know. But every time I hear so many bagpipes, I just feel the same way as you. This kind o' tune is soo great for hand-to-hand fighting scene of WW1, WW2, and so on. LONG LIVE BRITAIN !! LONG LIVE SCOTLAAAAAAAND !!
Being a proud Scot this brings back memories of living just a 10 minutes, if that from the castle as a child we heard most of the pipes anw the different regiments marching their buses
Fabulous sound, took my dad to see this which he said was 'magical' & he was ex KOSB & was GC at Edinburgh Castle for 2 years. Very powerful and a moving performance.
My grandfather was from Glasgow and he loved the pipes. He never quite lost his accent even well into his 90s. He would have loved this I'm sure. I'm very proud of my Scottish heritage.
My Grandfather also was from Glasgow and Grandmother from Aberdeen; I was around 17 when I could finally understand what he was saying. Our Clan is Leslie. I have been a piper or trying for 62 yrs. and presently to retain our Scottish heritage and legacy, Pipe Major of the Erepa Grotto Pipes and Drums. This has been my favorite Tattoo since that day it occurred. Thank YOU for your post !
Absolutely excellent! I had the honour to meet the Black Watch when I was in the German Air Force at Ramstein Airbase in 1983. Can you imagine what fun it was if a Scot tries to learn a German how to play the bagpipe? At first the loughter was on scottish side, at least on both... Something I never forgot.I´m proud that I had this experiance and that I´ve met these extraordinary soldiers.
Makes this Yank proud of his Scottish heritage. All the way back to County Ayershire and the Dalrymple name. Thanks so much for the thrilling video! Edward Stair-Tennessee USA
Loved this!! I wish I would have had the honor to hear them in person when I went to Scotland...Beautiful place it is I will say that ... Also, Loved the thistle formation...I have gotten a tattoo of the Scottish Thistle because it is such a beautiful flower and it has a great story behind it too :)
+Missy Muffet Thank you for wonderful lovely comments about my country hearing the bagpipes gives me goosebumps and think you getting a thistle tattoo is fantasic where about did you come to scotland from if you dont mind me asking
My ancestors where from scottland...my daddy would share some jack and talk about what he knew while we listened to 33 lp's of bagpipes...this is some awesome stuff...I love it !!
in Denish. det er det mest imponerende jeg nogensinde har set og hørt. der er intet militær instrument der slår sækkepiber og trommer. det er bestemt det fedeste jeg nogen sinde har set.
amen. this is one of scotland's gifts to the world, and i (non-scottish, but admirer) grateful for it! hurrah for the pipes & drums, and thanks for scotland!
I'm an American, and I say Thank God for the Scots! What would we do without them? I have Scottish blood, and I'm so proud of it. What's not to be proud of?
I always come back to listen to this video when i need reminded of how proud i am to be Scottish. The sound of the mass pipes sends shivers right through my body and makes me feel ultimate proudness.... It's like a rush ! We really are the proudest nation on earth ! Alba gu brath !!! INDEPENDENCE FOR SCOTLAND !
My wife and I have just returned home after attending the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo which celebrated its 60th year this year and it was well worth going,we were lucky to have seats facing the castle and had a perfect view.It was a wonderful experience and can highly recommend it.Massed pipes and drums, you cant beat them although I think the Royal Marine Band comes a very close second.
always loved the bagpipes, even i am a Yank. they seem so peaceful and powerful at the same time. And wow all those famous regiments... me being a military history lover i know. right on!!!!
Music reflecting strength and essence of life itself ! High time, these people stopped dying for Rothschilds ! And most of the time against Christian fellows !
Strange that so many comments posted here have little or nothing to do with the wonderful display of these excellent bandsmen. Great post. Love the "Thistle" formation. Thanks for sharing.
What a tremendous boost to morale it must have been for the brave souls who landed on the beaches on D-Day; to hear the piper playing behind them! Lest we forget!
The Moment i hear the Pipes, every single Inch of my Skin gets Goosebumps . This is so great ! Im from Germany, but i feel like i had a Life before this 1 and it must have been in Scottland. This Music touches me really deep inside, every single Time i hear it .
It is good that they explain who are involved in the procession...I love the pipers and it is good to see all regiments involved from both the UK and NZ.. I love watching this on TV as it is a little too far and too expensive for me to go to Edinburgh but one day I will get there..Tradition is Tradition no matter what country you come from. I'm from European heritage and this is just awesome...
@LucidDream101 You might be better googling massed pipe band music if that's what you want to do. These narrated videos are taken from the TV versions that we see after the event. Glad you enjoy our national music as much as we do. MInd you, my son used to live in a flat close to the castle and was glad to move due to the constant noise while this and the Edinburgh festival is on!! :)
I am english and i would march into battle anywhere with that band and music ringing in my ears ! makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end thank you for posting !
The music is beautiful and the presentation superb! I am sorry to see the ugly comments. I am US citizen, but as most Americans, we have a rich and diverse genealogy. Yes I have quite a bit of Scottish heritage and the fact that so many around the world claim this heritage is a testament to the Scots. You have given much to the world and should be proud. The English have done so as well, good grief most of the world speaks English. Stop the fighting and just enjoy music, what a gift form God!
Ok, I am prussian (seen from traditional point of view) but I always respected the military traditon of Great Britain and it would be a pleasure for me to watch the Military Tattoo!
Mendaxer have you ever seen so many men "walk" with such absolute precision???? Look down the ranks, staright as a die! look at the tassles on the pipes, everyone swinging back and forth at the same time like clockwork, each and every sporran left to right all at the same time, every tennor drum club being swirled at thesame time, thats not walking you fool, that is pure pipe band precision!
Yes. The Royal Canadian Scottish Regiment has to been to this event. One of the sargents teaching our basic training course was part of the group that went over to scotland.
You recognized the Ghurka,you are sharper than most my friend.If you are Kentuckian you may be more than a wee bit Scottish, my folks are from Scottsville in Allen county.
elouwen- thanks for understanding what i was trying to communicate, the stirring of the emotions. and OH YEA to bagpipes, one of my most favorite songs. Amazing Grace NEVER fails to bring tears to my eyes. me: White boy with 2 left feet, loves the music and feels the beat. out
Can anyone tell me what the opening March music is called???????? the whole piece is fantastic, but I find the opening march brilliant, and think it would strike fear into any enemy listening to it get louder as the opposing army grew nearer. God bless ALL our armed forces fighting for the stability of this OUR United Kingdom & British Commonwealth!

We used to have Tattoos here in Ontario, Canada at the CNE in Toronto. Why oh why can't they come back. This is simply majestic and soul-stirring.
i love British military tradition.
Keep it up!
Regards from a German serviceman!
They broadcast the Tattoo in Australia every year around Xmas time. I for one never tire of watching it.
¡que daría por estar allí y sentir esa música!
hermoso, sublime
un abrazo desde argentina buenos aires
No Music and Instrument is so kind of military like the pipe and drums.
I really like it.
The Scottish Regiments Pipes and Drums,and the Ghurkas Pipes and Drums.Any band playing amongst that are very lucky indeed.
Makes this Yank proud of his Scottish heritage. All the way back to County Ayershire and the Dalrymple name. Thanks so much for the thrilling video!

And the scottish voice of the late Tom Fleming who commentated on numerous Edinburgh Tattoos. You are greatly missed.
I'm an American, and I say Thank God for the Scots! What would we do without them? I have Scottish blood, and I'm so proud of it. What's not to be proud of?
DAMN YOU SCOTS, AND YOUR AMAZING INSTRUMENT!!!!!! Bagpipes have got to be THE sweetest sounding instrument ever made!

Wow! I have loved the sound of bagpipes all my life; what a thrill! Would love one day to be there when they do this!
Brings back happy memories of my time doing this.Always watched it as a kid and thought i'm going to do that.Got my chance in 1980.
FANTASTIC NATION!!!
I have played on 9 of these. fantastic. the best job in the World!
First tune is called 'Hot Punch' then goes into 'Bonnie Dundee' I'm sure.
I had the opportunity to watch live one of the Military Tattoo. Unforgettable moment.
Something else, too… they can fight.
This is ART!
I am now Dutch but in my past Life I was a Scot!
I Salute you all brothers.
SCOTLAND FOR EVER!
Fantastico!!!!!! Forza bella Scozia!!!
Music reflecting strength and essence of life itself !
High time, these people stopped dying for Rothschilds !
And most of the time against Christian fellows !
Strange that so many comments posted here have little or nothing to do with the wonderful display of these excellent bandsmen.
Great post. Love the "Thistle" formation. Thanks for sharing.
Q: What does a Scotsman say to someone who says "Nice skirt"?
A: Nice bloody nose!
What a tremendous boost to morale it must have been for the brave souls who landed on the beaches on D-Day; to hear the piper playing behind them! Lest we forget!
I wish the commentator would BE QUIET.
Comic Book Guy You don’t tell Tom Fleming to be quiet, he is the voice of the Edinburgh tattoo.
A long and impressive Scottish tradition... magnificent display.
THis was an Awesome Presentation; i was there in person when stationed in London, UK back in 1990 to 1992
Amazing!
Best wishes and greetings to Scottish people from Armenia.

I love the Ediburgh Military Tattoo :) Its really enjoyable, I watch it every year. The skill of these guys are amazing, kudos to them
Love it!!! This is music to my ears speaking from Manitoba Canada!!

Wow how good was this...gave me goose bumps and made me feel very proud. Total respect to our Armed Forces that was awesome.
Would SO love to get there some day! Wonderful display of Scottish heritage...
It is truly awesome...I was there in 1999....will never forget it. The way the pipes are meant to be played...en masse!
There is nothing so stirring as great military bagpipe music and a gathering such as this.
Well done Davin Stoddard! A perfect perfect video.
WoW, very nice performance.
I like this music very much.
You all are playing very good!!!!!!
Ok, I am prussian (seen from traditional point of view) but I always respected the military traditon of Great Britain and it would be a pleasure for me to watch the Military Tattoo!

My Regiment has a great Pipes and Drums band, i'm not Scottish but I love hearing them play.
The Ghurka commander is rocking the shit out of that tattoo! Much respect from The Royal Danish Army to the Scottish and Ghurka Regiments!
Yes. The Royal Canadian Scottish Regiment has to been to this event. One of the sargents teaching our basic training course was part of the group that went over to scotland.
i love bagpipes so much and also the drums well done on this event.
You recognized the Ghurka,you are sharper than most my friend.If you are Kentuckian you may be more than a wee bit Scottish, my folks are from Scottsville in Allen county.
I live right next to Edinburgh Castle, I get to listen to this every night during the Tattoo :3
It is called the Black Bear it is a tune for return to barracks, which is why many Scottish military tattoos end with it.
This is a wonderful post. Virtually all of the tunes fall into the category: fix bayonets and move out.
elouwen- thanks for understanding what i was trying to communicate, the stirring of the emotions. and OH YEA to bagpipes, one of my most favorite songs. Amazing Grace NEVER fails to bring tears to my eyes.

Listen to those drums when they do the tune round abound!!!!! so powerful!!!
