- The 2018 return march of the Lonach Highlanders through Strathdon in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, during their annual Gathering & Games.
The highlanders, led by retired Police Officer James Mitchell on his bicycle, the Lonach Pipe Band and supporting Drum Majors from other bands, set off back to the village of Bellabeg, stopping occasionally for hospitality. At the rear is Socks, the Lonach horse, ready to pick up any stragglers.
The Lonach Highlanders are all descendants from the Forbes, Wallace and Gordon clans, represented by the different tartans, who march with their weapons, including pikes and Lochaber axes. After the morning march through Strathdon, they gather at a hall for lunch and then march back to Bellabeg to enter the Highland Games arena.
I note that several men are wearing medals upon both their left and right chest. Those on the left being their own awards and those on the left those of their father. A grand tradition of service.
Does this apply to grandfathers as well? also, would you mind clarifying which sides?
I love Scotland more than every county in the whole world, something more beautiful doesn't exist. After university I will move to Scotland.
Love from Germany❤️🏴🏴
Warum hasst du Deutschland?
@@arjenbet716 Ich liebe Deutschland, halt Schottland auch
@@lordgammel8024 kann ich ja verstehen, aber Deutschland braucht jetzt jeden, der sich für unser Land einsetzt. Solange es noch ein Deutschland gibt.
Lord Gammel 🏴aye you’ll be welcome 🇩🇪 I had three months in Bergen Belsen village near Celle . Fond memories.
Aye, this will make every Scotsman's heart swell with pride. WONDERFUL.
So wonderful, beautiful music to my hears! True elegance and class!
Great to the the old and the very young keeping out traditions alive ! Another brilliant piece from Braermar Media, thanks.
Thank you.
Awesome! I hope to be there next year. Gonna stay for 3 months. Well done and everyone looks and sounds great!
Muy lindas sus tradiciones, saludos desde Chile
I'm a 71 yo Texan living in Oregon. My God I am so proud of you. Thanks to men and women like you tradition is alive. Grab the brass ring of freedom. I know that Brexit will hurt but bear it and don't look back. Your grandchildren will be free.
No. Their (The Scottish) Grandchild will regret the decisions of their forefathers as the majority of the younger generations wanted to remain in the EU. As a Welshman who's country relies on the EU so heavily I am ashamed of the decisions of our forefathers (The majority of pro-leave were 50+)
In fact during the Scottish referendum the point to consider was that as an independent nation they could broker their own EU deal and remain if the rest of the UK were to leave
Samuel, I regret to say, I am ashamed of you. I'm a Texan. Read our history and see us now. We are the freest, richest and one of the most powerful states in the US. Neither Scotland nor Wales will, in my opinion, ever match that and are much better off as part of an independent Great Britain than they are in the failing globalist EU.
I proudly stand by what I have said. With all my heart I say, " God Bless Great Britain! " and God unravel the EU. Make European countries Great again.
That's an illusion ! What makes you think that English politicians are any better than EU ones? Most of them have a psychopathic taste for power & though unfit to have it are more than unwilling to give it up - deep sigh ! As the Italians say about dead fish "The rot starts @ the head" !
the countryside is awesome. you folks might be used to it there, but to me it's spectacular. and the pipes and drums enhance the whole thing
Patrick McKenna I stay in this part of the world and you couldn't be more right a lot of scots myself included take it for granted its only when you've been to some shithole country's it hits you 👍
I'm brazilian, but since child I adore the scottish culture and history, mainly the pipers and drums related. Some day I will visit my lands there 🤭🤣🤣🤣🏴... 😉
AND on top of all that finery, the lead bobby is riding a bicycle with bar brake links instead of those new fangled cables that became a fad 50 years ago! That is real class!
Ah... the noble Scott! A big part of my heritage, and I can never get enough of the pipes! I know a lot of people can't stand the sound of them, but what do they know? And then they played Scotland the Brave... as they should.
Something about those bagpipes and drums gets the blood pumping and makes want to go into battle, im not Scottish tough.
Braemar Media, these clips of the different regiments. Your showing are very simlar, to the Parades our Defence Forces, have over here in Australia. It is absoutely beautiful. Thank ypu so much for sharing them.
Thank you Veronica. I suspect the regiments share much common history and it's great to hear the old traditions continue to live on around the globe.
The Lonach Highlanders are NOT anything to do with the armed forces . They are more a society to promote highland dress and the Gaelic.
Braemar Media, this might be your culture, with full dress uniforms, it is a delight to watch the men march in step to the pipes & drums. Thank you for sharing these clips. Keep on showing them please.
This is great! Thank you!
Happy memories from Texas of my time in Scotland.
No finer sight or sound! Wonderful.
What a stirring sight 🏴🏴 makes you proud of our men.
i'm french , and I like your traditional music ,always a great show
moi tout.lol.
Beautiful people in a beautiful country. Greetings from France.
This is how service personal should be honored and welcomed back!
That was really great!
My wife and I will be travelling from Aotearoa to Scotland in 2020, looking forward to making contact....
Ahhh, a far away fantasy, to be there, that exact region - Strathdon, that weather, the scent (and of course even with an inexpensive Canon XF705 , shoulder/hand mount stabilizer, Matthew or Black Bear - if just a cheap Black Bear Koala - doorway dolly although that could be walked with just a shoulder/hand mount stabilizer, providing some very good, smooth footage). That WOULD be the fantasy trip.
Thank God our culture survives.
The church in Scotland wants to bring in 200k African/Middle Easterners and build towns and cities for them in the Highlands. 50 years is being optimistic the whole of Europe has one generation and we're done.
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, - That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. July 4, 1776.
Scottish culture? The pipers are marching according to English drill 😝
Brendan McGlinchey ; freedom is not free.
Scotland need to preserve Scottish indigenous languages (Geelig,Scot) those are ,belong to my opinion , the real core of the Scottish identity ;beacause , if you think about ,the bagpipes comes from the Roman period and the modern Kilt "skirt" was invented by an english man .
This is really cool. Makes me miss the Scottish Games here in California, and all the Clan marches.
fantastic! greetings from holland
Amazing.....fantástic.....extraordinary !! I love this pipes !! GOD BLESS THE SCOTLAND !!!
I'm from Portugal and I love Scott's music, so happy. Viva a Escócia! Hurra!!
Maria João Cordeiro sorry to be a wee bit anal there's only one T in scots any how greetings from scotland
The country side is breathtaking! Well done as usual.
The clans have been marching for generations and only descendants can participate. The biggest clan is the Forbes, but there are also Wallace & Gordon men here. They march as their ancestors would, with historic swords, pikes and the Loacaber axes, designed against cavalry attacks. The officer on his bicycle is a more modern touch, until the 1960s the march used to have a police escort on his bicycle, but then cars took over escorting the parade, but when this local officer retired he asked to do this one last time, they appreciated it so much he was asked to keep going every year and accepted.
Ach! I do love the pipes ☺
Glorious.
The Lonach Highlanders are a 'Friendly Society' as opposed to a military unit. They march once a year to celebrate the beginning of the Highland Games at Lonach on the 4th Saturday of every August. The head of the unit is a member of the Forbes Clan, and most members of the unit are Forbes men, however members of the Wallace and Gordon Clans, both common locally, march along seperatly in their own tartans.
Christopher Murphy Funny you should mention Forbes, guess who made a huge fortune in the USA and later a Magazine was named for him: Forbes!
Que hermosos desfiles, me encantan esos uniformes tan elegantes tan coloridos con sus hermosas insignias, desfilando con orgullo con gallardía, me encantan las tradiciones inglesas.
Dios salve a la Reina Isabel II de Inglaterra.
Awesome ! Good form there !
What is the name of the song they're playing at 2:00 ?
Goosebumps! Braw indeed!
Magnificent uniforms, culture and tradition.
Very inspiring! Hot greetings from cold Russia!
Keep the faith brothers!
Es increíble los sonidos de gaitas

I dunno merely from a lowland clan myself on my grandmothers side, but according to our clan history we were transplanted from the Highlands in the time of Robert the Bruce so there, but fortitur and recte and all that.
That's absolute unit in the middle at the start.
VERY nice
Toll Klasse Wundervoll.
Cheers from the USA 🇺🇸
Godbless x

Very nice surroundings 😍
Love bagpipes & Scottish Culture from Ireland :)
Celtic cousins, there is much shared heritage. I'm McNeil on my maternal side, believed to come from the Irish Niall who took the Isle of Barra on the Western Isles many centuries ago.
@@BraemarMedia - cool think it was the tribe Scotta that left Ireland for Scotland
@@BraemarMedia I was there, in Barra, on two occasions . Fabulous place .
Molto bello
Great performance. I'd like to know the name of the Drum Major who is giving the orderes to the others ones. (I mean the one gentleman with the white moustache. The way he marches is far out the most royal. (I'm dutch and don't kno the right words. But I love to see them marching.
"With their pike upon their shoulder"
Que. Bonito
Wow!
Nice walk ...
Alex Ander They’re not walking their marching
BRAVO froom FRANCE...
proud to be 1/15th scottish, it is a little but it matters to me :)
I'm attending the Lonach Highland Games this year and would like to watch the march. From where does he start exactly and is there a fixed time when the march begins?
How fun would that be
Quite the army there! So are they all attached to the Queen or some Scottish lord?
Not military, they are are descendants of the local clans and continue this tradition as generations before them did. It is a cultural and traditional event that has gone on for 177 years, linked to the location and not any individual.
Haha, kommt die Midi-Mode zurück?
Why is there one guy in a tartan thats not the same as his comrades ?
where in the hell did they get some these guys from a home depot parking lot or the local pub

put the drums in the middle and get a better step from everyone, plus better sound.
Really wish I knew the meaning and symbolism behind the details of their getups.
Benjamin Grist Scottish regiments wear different tartans I think this was originally a private army queen Victoria and all that empire crap
Keith Donald I know that each clan and regiment has its own tartan. I'm more interested in the pins, medals, crests, and feathers. I heard someone say that the feathers are earned by completing traditional Scottish rights of passage, but I have no idea what all the other little details mean.
No, it was founded in 1823 as the The Lonach Highland and Friendly Society. It was never a military unit, it's a society to preserve Scottish traditions, in the main.
I like their pike axes
MJ they are called lochaber axes or Jedburgh axes.
Alistair2348. In the Netherlands we call it a Hellebaard. Nice video.
What are the tunes?
Nice to see for the Gaels across the sea. (Eire)
I juat fucking love it
Clearly I walk to far playing my bag pipes
Good nice

looks like an schiltron is out marching to battle...
In my other life.....i was a scotish !!
If Robin Hood was Earl of Chester, and that is on the border of Wales, doesn't it goes w/out saying that he is whelsh not english?😮
I love how I have highland ancestry, Irish ancestry, Norman ancestry, And German ancestry. So many cool cultures to take pride in.
This isnt military?
No, although some with the medals are retired soldiers. It's a historical and cultural group, they are all from the local clans and keep their traditions alive, this being the 177th march of the highlanders.

家族一族ごとのタータンは違っていますが、連隊ではありません。 これらはフォーブス、ウォレスとゴードンの一族の子孫です。

はい、接続があります。 遊びは幻想だが、そのキャラクターは本物だ。 本当のマクベスは、スコットランドの王座を取った。彼のいとこ、ダンカン1世を戦闘で殺した。 しかし、Malcolmは1057年にLumphananの戦いで英語の助けを借りてMacbethを後に殺しました。この小さな村はStrathdonにあります。

That cop in the beginning lol
Luke Conte who was he gonna catch on that auld bike
I'd no idea Scotland still has so many pikemen. That will surely come in useful after the next Independence vote, if the Sassenachs try to prevent the results of a truly sensible Leave vote.
@@magnuschristianssen8999 what logic are you actually using there, i do not believe Scotland shall become independent as it would be a great shame. However, it certainly does not mean Wales would become independent which appears to be something you've pulled out of your arse, and also that bullshit about the monarchy.
@@magnuschristianssen8999 living under a rock? You mean living in the real world. Scotland had a referendum and voted to remain, the next referendum will be atleast 2 years into the future. By referring to the Royals as parasites you are showing your ignorance to the fact that even if you exclude tourism, they still pay more into the system through taxes than they take out. I'm not sure what bullshit you're talking about with Wales. All I know is that I hope the UK will remain as one, our ancestors have died fighting together and I know alot of people now would die fighting together. I hope we can continue as a united kingdom.
Garth Tomlinson Alright, you win! Disunity is actually the plaything of the devil in some ways.
@@magnuschristianssen8999 the fact that you have not made one reasonable argument to counter what I have said then yeah, i have won, have a nice day.
The great migration of Scots
Funny thing is thier dress and drill is not really Scottish.
The uniforms and marching drill date to the Victorian era and are based on the English army uniforms with tartan added.
TEATRALNY SMIESZNY SCHOW
Going through the comments no wonder why the Scots hate us English .... Makes me sick seeing what is being said about this. My view on this is wow I'm so glad you still have pride and tradition I look back at this dirty trampy side of the island and think I'm so happy for you all do not ever lean the way England has. Stay proud! Stay true! Scotland forever and egnor the dopey pricks that try to disrespect you all. It's a shame I would be looked down upon if I ever lived in such a beautiful place (sucks to be English) lmao
Шотландия будет Независимой
que c est beau un pays qui n a pas honte de ces traditions .
pas comme la france d on je suis malheureusement un de ces représentantes tué par l Europe et l immigration de certain pays
The drummers are struggling bigtime there.
I'll bet UFO's never land in Scotland! If those little green men saw those pipers coming at them. . . And men in skirts!
Why aren't they called nationalists or racists for preserving their history? So confused 😕
