My father was b onna farm In 1917 way upstate new york. I wasnt there when he passed but hes a scotsman i remember so well. Heres a salute to all our fathers who served, and the ones who stayed home to keep the home fires warm. Cc🎉
Some 55 years ago when I was 10 years old my older brother took me to see The Black Watch in downtown New Orleans. I will never forget it and it has resonated in my heart and soul ever since.
My grandfather everytime he heard the pipes he cried .....I asked my father why and he said .....son when the old man heard them it brought two things to him .....going over the top and funerals .....but you are right they do tug at the heart strings and to a jock ....they stir the emotions beyond belief and before and going into battle they steel the heart and they let the other guys know that .....We be coming and it the jocks so you are warned .......even on D Day Lord Lovat had his piper (against all the rules ) pipe his brigade on the beaches ......and as we all know it had the desired effect. Your country and mine will always stand together we are maybe small but we stand
Crescent City Kid but has done the US economy greatly. He is right though NATO allies is using USA like a piggy bank, taking advantage. But even with that the US always gets their back.
My Granddad was a pipe major in ww1. He also served some time in ww2. He never complained nor spoke of the wars He served in. My Dad was a merchant seaman through ww2. My mother was an electrician in the R.A.F. ww2. None of My parents spoke of the war. My mother was from shotts,My father from Liverpool. The pipes mean everything to me for memories of the highland games. Tears roll down my eyes. Many thanks to all pipers and drummers.
I first saw the massed band,pipes and drums in Kansas City in 1963. To this day the sound of the pipes lights a fire in my belly! I remember a passage in the program that stated " It's takes seven generations and seven years to make a piper". Ah for the good old days!
'Devils in skirts'. I'm English, but I have great respect and admiration for the Scots Nation. They have contributed so much to the history and culture of these beautiful Isles of ours, and have been prominent for centuries in the arts and the sciences. And their martial prowess is legendary. That is why today I am overjoyed that the Scots have voted to remain within the United Kingdom. We are four Nations, and Glory to that; but our Union is greater than the sum of its four parts.
Aye maybe so ......maybe it should be noted here that the Watch really now are only a mere battalion of the RRS ......if you now look at the TOS they were a cap badge .....we never did.....we wore the red hackle alone ......and controversially here hopefully one day England will get home rule lol.....make of that as you will
From Constantinople to Scotland, the art of military drumming has made a journey throughout Europe, gaining in every country more and more sophistication to get the perfect accomplishment at the end of the trip, as we can see here. Bravo gentlemen: that's not just drum "beating" ("batterie" as we say in France), that's real great music! Great class! You are honouring your ancestors and mankind in many ways. I salute especially Tony Oxley, who was a member of the Black Watch Military Band and is one of the greatest modern jazz drummers of the world and all time. Long live the Auld Alliance! A French drum teacher and author.
Oh man surely get my Scottish blood going. Grandfather played every Sunday and my Grand mum danced the swords. What an upbringing. Taught my children the same. Pipe and drums forever. And to Mr . Hathaway, it brings tears to my eyes too. Men going into battle and coming home. Yes sir, a most beautiful sound. And I'm a veteran of the U.S Military. Must be in the blood.
I think that there is not a better sound to hear than Spitfire Mk. 9 ply past at combat throttle setting. Well maybe there is. A platoon of Scotsmen playing Scotland the Brave. I am proud to be a son of Clan MacQuarrie. Someday I want to go home to land I've never been to, Scotland.
The drum major you hear right at the beginning I first met back in 96 or 97 at Milton bridge. I then knew him from the Black Watch when I served up in Fort George. I honestly can not remember his name but I know this. Back then I would have trusted him with my life. Absolute salt of the earth proper decent guy. I made the mistake of giving up the pipes after 10 months training. See I was sick of practicing from morning til night and now I'm regretting it. After 18 years of not holding a chanter I have started learning again. I have to start from scratch again but I have an ex pipe major and old friend of the Black Watch in the pipe band I am currently in. What a lucky man I am. Lol. To aw you pipers and drummers of the Black Watch. You do all the Scots proud.
My father, dying of heart failure in the hosptal here at Cedars Sinai, has been having me play The Black Watch for him- these videos are a gift to have on here and I thank deeply who have posted them- they are a freeing distraction for my father's journey "home". :(___
@Crescent City Kid it happened on a regular basis until WWI. During the Great War pipers played the troops in action in many occasions, altough they were supposed to stay away from the firing line . Even in WWII we have examples of pipers playing under fire - Millin , Kirkpatrick. I'm not sure about the Korea . Last piper recorded to play in a fighting zone was PM Scott Taylor in Afghanistan , 2004. So, even if wer all agree that in modern combat it's pure folly to play the pipes in action, once in a while the Scots just go in their "och, what the f**k" mode and play nonetheless
@@marioguidotomasone1265 Due to the high casualty rate in WW1 pipers were forbidden to go into action playing in WW2. However, in some circumstances, commanders chose to ignore this instruction. Perhaps the most famous of these was Brigadier Simon "Shimi" Lovat, (aka 15th Lord Lovat) on D-Day. He told his personal piper, Bill Millin, that because it was an order from the English War Office it could be ignored..... as they were both Scots !!! A figure of lesser stature would not have gotten off with that !!!
I believe it was 1963, I first heard the Black Watch playing similar medleys c/w a regimental brass accompaniment. Perhaps an overdub in this case, but otherwise, switching things up, with a little brass tossed in once and awhile, (not too much), is always a treat in my book. Certainly no worse than some contemporary bands adding their token bongo player to the mix. Good grief... Anyways, it was great to hear, a few old school sets, without all the modern day tweedledee/tweedledum overkill. It's not that I don't appreciate more demanding tunes and complex medleys. I think we all do. I'm just saying, it was great to once again hear and see the Black Watch Pipes & Drums - in full regimental dress - doing their thing, under 100 bpm :) BTW...ty for the post :)
Will never forget my time as a euphoniumist in the U.S. 298th Army Band, Berlin Brigade playing alongside the Black Watch in Berlin in the mid-Eighties. A definite high point of my career, and I'm grateful for the experience.
Why is it that as soon as I hear, Scotland the Brave, I immediately want to stand and holler "WHOOP!" and why does this water drip from my eyes when I hear the bags?
This music opens a path to my lost ancestry. It seems natural to me, it must be in my blood. Thank you for this, to the Black Watch and to the poster of the clip.
I m Peruvian. I m mixture of Vasco ,Galitian ,Italian and Brave and Wise Indian peoples.My Life is full of Fight ,Battles And Triumphs.For that ,ADMIRE And FEEL deeply this AMAZING SCOTY MUSIC .There are here explícities references about Fight ,Courage a d Brave that always inspire me SCOTIA THE BRAVE .From LIMA PERÚ.
Oh, how I wish all of you had been there when I stood in front of that beautiful castle! This is played so beautifully and I really appreciate it being here for us to enjoy - thank you!
Reminds me of when they played in Pittsburgh PA when I was a child. I had the wonderful opportunity to dance with them. Once in a lifetime chance that I will never forget. My father was a wonderful piper miss those sounds in my life everyday.
I would like to be the owner of Saint Andres Castle is very nice and to have the Band playing for me every morning early at my breakfast ... ! Well done Boys excellent and good work ! Mr. Green. Thanks !
By the way, this all looks and sounds beautiful. Just with the castle in the background gives me goosebumps, shivers down my spine, a tear to the eye, and a smile to my face =')
My late Father, William Nicol, was a Sergeant in the 1st Battalion, The Black Watch. He escorted Germans accused of War Crimes to Nürnberg for trial. His brother, Sergeant James Nicol, 5th Battalion, The Black Watch, was captured near Cäen shortly after D-Day, by troops of the elite SS Panzerdivision Hitlerjügend. He ended up in StalagLuft III at Sagan until the war ended.
loved the pipes and drums as a kid in camperdown park when at easter all the family cousins the lot would all head there back then family was close and done a lot together 60`s` & 70`s Dundonians will remember back then...
O Scotland you are The LORD's i see God's mighty and beauty in you T oiseachd soisgeul Iosa Criosda, Mac Dhe Peace be unto you God bless Scotland the brave :) Scotland the sweet among your brothers ..Have been brought near by the blood With love yuli :) See im glad i have dark hair also like you :) like Iosa :) all your men are the brave men of war :) The beauty of God is in you and you have His glory upon you :)
Wenn man überlegt, das der Dudelsag aus ein anderen Land kommt. Da habt Ihr Schotten doch ein sehr schönes Intrumet daraus gemacht und immer schöne stimmungsvolle Lieder damit gespielt. ob in Eure Kneipen, als Marschinsprument, oder für das Kriegshandwerk. Mal ist die Melodie traurig und machmal bingt sie Schwung in das Geschehen. Ich freue mich schon auf den nächsten Schottland Urlaub.ich möchte nach Blair Castel in Mai 2022. Gott halte uns Gesund und immer ein frohes, aufrechtes Herz.
Realmente son Gaitas y Tambores. Extraordinario espectàculo, el verles marchar con sus vistosos uniformes escoceses de Gaiteros. Su marcialidad y su acompasado desplazamiento, al unìsono de sus marchas.
Its not a regiment I am printing about here but a Canadian Scot, if ever a man deserved a Victoria Cross, this one should have had 2. He landed on D. Day at the British "Sword Beach", the only one wearing a kilt and his only weapon a set of bagpipes. He then proceeded to march up and down the beach, through a hail of metal, playing the pipes and inspiring the lads who had landed with him. Later he piped his battalion 4 miles to the Caen Canal to relieve units of 6 Airborne holding the bridge at Benouville (Pegasus Bridge) His name William (Bill) Millin, 4 commando, There is a fine statue of Bill Millin at Collville --Montgomery very close to were he landed at Sword (Ouistreham) Normandy. This was a man made of the stuff Kipling wrote about.
Im Belfast Bourne in '75 to American born parents i lived there till me and my twin sister were 5 then went America..i still rep. the black watch in my kilt. It is just how I am .

I am from Scotland( Rothesay ),My mother used sing The Highland Cradle song, Skye Boat song and Scottish Soldier song to get me to sleep. love to watch and listen to the pipes and drum's, but hate to hear brass, I can't see any brass in the band, but i can hear them the first part around 2.00 mins ??
Das schlimmste ist das die Videos nachvertont sind statt der originalen Musik die vor Ort die Band gespielt hat. Daher hört man eine Blaskapelle obwohl keine da ist. Das haben die Royal Scotts Dragoon Guards leider auch sehr gerne bei ihren Videos gemacht. Ich persönlich finde es fürchterlich und schade.
Most Afrikaners dislikes the pipes. Not me. I'm only 12.5% Scottish (MacLachlan), but that's more than enough. As an interesting sidenote: on the eleventh of December, 1899, the Scottish Highlanders under general Wauchope was sent ahead of lord Metheun's relief column to attack the Boer positions at Magersfontein. At about 04:00 the Boers opened fire at a range of about 400 yards from camouflaged trenches. The Scots have been advancing in close order and suffer most of their 1000 casualties in the first 15 minutes. A complete rout and pandemonium was only prevented because of a lone piper playing "The Campbells are Coming".
I absolutely love the Pipes and Drums, but must confess my ignorance of the military. Can someone explain why (in these videos) the guy on the far left (or their right) is more decorated? He has 4 gold bars a crown and some other emblem on his sleeve, I would like to know what they mean.
My father was b onna farm In 1917 way upstate new york. I wasnt there when he passed but hes a scotsman i remember so well. Heres a salute to all our fathers who served, and the ones who stayed home to keep the home fires warm. Cc🎉

I'm an Englishman, & the pipes will always resonate in my heart & soul, I promise you.
God bless our allies. Texan by birth, American veteran (USAF), yet the pipes will ALWAYS tug at my heart. Peace be with you Scotland. Thank you.

Simply the Best. Salute to the Blackwatch and my Ancestorol home Scotland. From America with love.
My father's father was originally from Wales; my dad loved the bag pipes. Now all I can do is cry every time I hear them as they remind me of my dad.
Carrie Dunne we all live through the pipes
I was born in Perth, Perthshire, home of the Black Watch. Yeah and I am proud of it.
I was born in Belfast(American parents). The o'lidy tartan has been long lost I proudly wear the black watch in all my kilts.
I think that there is not a better sound to hear than Spitfire Mk. 9 ply past at combat throttle setting. Well maybe there is. A platoon of Scotsmen playing Scotland the Brave.

Craig MacGregor Brian Alexander is his name mate. Know him from my time in the Argylls doing the Edinburgh Tattoo etc
Damn proud to be from Scottish decent ! The pipes always reach deep within me and fuel a fire that connects me to my ancestry.
Sans Peur!!
Indeed.
Sans peur et sans reproche!
@Crescent City Kid Clearly you don't know a lot of Scots.
..the single best thing that ever came out of the United Kingdome....the bag pipes! The uniforms have NO challenge....perfection!

What's NOT to like??? Great Music and good video of the Black Watch.
Fantastic. I'm always emotional, listening to the pipes being played

The most inspiring music in the world.
It was a grand show when the Black Watch visited San Rafael, CA USA. Love to see them come back.

Better than watching the news!
I am proud to be Scottish and I am also a drummer and I know there is a lot of hard work that gose into pipe band life
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you Scotland!
Reminds me of when they played in Pittsburgh PA when I was a child. I had the wonderful opportunity to dance with them. Once in a lifetime chance that I will never forget. My father was a wonderful piper miss those sounds in my life everyday.

Thank you so much for posting; I hope to hear them someday in person.
....Blessings to you,

sweet glorious music!! absolutely beautiful!!!
Got to meet some of the Black Watch while serving in the Honor Guard at Arlington, VA in the mid 70's, very sharp looking outfit.
Love the Black Watch, and I always will!
these guys are without a doubt the greatest pipers in the world...but that's just my opinion
Fantastic to see & hear. The Famous Black Watch.
My late Father, William Nicol, was a Sergeant in the 1st Battalion, The Black Watch. He escorted Germans accused of War Crimes to Nürnberg for trial. His brother, Sergeant James Nicol, 5th Battalion, The Black Watch, was captured near Cäen shortly after D-Day, by troops of the elite SS Panzerdivision Hitlerjügend. He ended up in StalagLuft III at Sagan until the war ended.

Beautiful and well done. I'm a proud SCOTTISH AMERICAN. SI RIOHGAL MADHREAM
My Dad was a piper, i had so many records of BlackWatch, and got to see them at MSG!!
These are not people to mess with!
The word dance always was, and still is, my favorite. So ceremonial, so precise
Fantastic sound - it sound as if there is an orchestral backing to the pipes, but I can only see pipes and drums. Lovely harmony.
So proud to be a scot I only I could go back visit my family
I love the Highland pipes, as they are in my blood. ("Touch Not the Cat Bot a Glove.")
Thank you for this, absolutely beautiful
They lift their knees so high !!!
'THEE' Pipes and Drums of Scotland !
There is no other regimental band quite like the 1st Battalion of the Black Watch and this is it.
The Black Watch to me is the best Scottish Pipe band.

Magic. Pure magic.
Most Afrikaners dislikes the pipes. Not me. I'm only 12.5% Scottish (MacLachlan), but that's more than enough.
As an interesting sidenote: on the eleventh of December, 1899, the Scottish Highlanders under general Wauchope was sent ahead of lord Metheun's relief column to attack the Boer positions at Magersfontein. At about 04:00 the Boers opened fire at a range of about 400 yards from camouflaged trenches. The Scots have been advancing in close order and suffer most of their 1000 casualties in the first 15 minutes. A complete rout and pandemonium was only prevented because of a lone piper playing "The Campbells are Coming".
I absolutely love the Pipes and Drums, but must confess my ignorance of the military. Can someone explain why (in these videos) the guy on the far left (or their right) is more decorated? He has 4 gold bars a crown and some other emblem on his sleeve, I would like to know what they mean.
He's the pipe major, so will have been an enlisted piper for years. In rank he is equivalent to the Drum Major marching at the front.
