The massed pipes and drums play Highland Cathedral on the esplanade in front of Edinburgh Castle, during the 2006 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. #edinburghvideos
This was composed by two Germans, Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb for the 1982 Highland Games in Germany. As a Scotsman i thank you very much for giving us such a wonderful composition.💙🏴💙🏴💙🏴💙🏴💙🏴💙🏴💙🏴💙🏴💙🏴💙
I am 53 years old and an englishman who had the great pleasure to serve alongside the Royal Scots in the first Gulf War A Sqdn to be precise and this moving melody takes me back to the desert as if it was yesterday, Always brings a tear.
It makes no difference who has written this wonderful piece of music. The words can only inspire and help bind a nation, it looks forward and not backwards !!! a national anthem that anyone would be proud to stand up for and the sooner it becomes Scotlands national anthem the better.
And billie connolys banana song..lol…no it’s a great tune, but yea cannae beat oh flower of Scotland, just go to Murrayfield and see the song played when we face England, now that’s a passion for you.
@@josephlambe2796Englishman here but with a lot of family from Scotland you can’t fault the atmosphere of flower of Scotland every single time👌🏻also had highland cathedral at my grandads funeral down here last year
Heard this song for the first time at a funeral of a firefighter in Brussels Belgium. A lone firefighter with a bagpipe walked in front of his colleagues carrying their fallen brother whilst playing highland cathedral. The sound went through bone and spine and I have never forgotten about it ever since.
Was played at My Dear Mum's Funeral too......She was born bred Brisbane Queensland Australia.....but her Mum & ancestory born/bred Aberdeen & Mum was a Champion Highland Dancer here in Oz........brings lump to my throat always
So schön, diszipliniert und herrlich anzuschauen mit einmaligen Instrumenten, die es nur dort gibt und mich in ihrer vollen Schönheit immer wieder begeistern !!
This tune made my heart pound.as the daughter of her dad born inPeterculter Abdeenshire and great grand parents from Scotland on my mother's side.l just can't get enough of this music Thank you for airing it.
This is the most magnificent piece of music I have ever heard. In the first occasion I burst into tears, something I'd never experienced before. I play it at least once a day as apart from the music, the sight of my beloved pipes, drms, uniforms and Edinburgh Castle is breath taking, but I am reduced to tears every time, tears of sheer joy. Thank you.
We are having this as we enter the crematorium for my dad’s funeral I. February. As a true Scotsman he would love it and The Flower of Scotland at the end. 💔💔💔
In 1970,I was stationed in Holy Loch Scotland,and took a jaunt to Edinburgh Castle for a Tattoo,and Heard this for the first time ever,and WOW,,talk about raising hairs on your arm,,,no matter how many times I listen to this,I ALWAYS HOLD IT DEAR TO MY HEART !!!,,Always wanted to one day go back to Holy Loch,but I haven't yet,,,sigh sigh,,,,If you ever get the chance,I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you go when the Tattoo is happening,and maybe you will be lucky enough to hear this in person as I did !!! BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@nylononly I think it came out in 1982. But so glad it did. I'd like Highland Cathedral to become Our National anthem or Scotland the brave. I'm not very keen on flower of Scotland. Haste ye back. Greetings from the Scottish Highlands
Was there at this Tattoo, i think at the time it was the most sets of pipes there, was great, still gives me goose bumbs, played at my mums funeral by a lone piper ,(
This song was composed in 1982 by the German composers Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb as an anthem for the Scottish Highlands Games in Cologne Germany. Read more on Wikipedia.
