The Scottish Soldier - Award Winning film with Isla St Clair
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 дек 2007
- Isla St Clair features in this award winning music video from the film 'Highland Laddie'. Directed by Patrick King, creator of 'When the Pipers Play', the video was filmed in Edinburgh with the Pipes and Drums of the 6th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland.
Isla's voice is ideally suited for Scottish Soldier and though the words were written with WW2 in mind they are just as relevant today. It is a tribute to all soldiers, not just Scottish.

I'm Scottish and i was once a soldier! I think this song is beautiful!🏴☺️
I'm Scots-Irish. My grandmother had flaming red hair. The sound of the pipes tugs at my heart. I cannot help but weep. This is a beautiful song.
Scotland the Brave!
GOOGLE Smithfield Fair for excellent music.
The most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Isla should be known worldwide but is so under-rated. Her folk singing and knowledge of Scottish history is immense.

ur right there she has a brill voice
She has a pleasant and attractive voice especially in the higher register, but I think 'the most beautiful voice I've ever heard' seems well over the top.
In Memory of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, who was murdered while acting as Ceremonial Guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Canada, on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2014. A Soldier, a Father, Son, Brother, a proud Argyll and a hero.
"at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them"
LEST WE FORGET. Rest in Peace, Cpl. Cirillo.

I had the honor of meeting Isla St. Clair and Pipe Major Gordon Walker (who had been the personal piper for the Queen Mother) at the Scottish Highland Festival in Estes Park, Colorado in approx. 2005. Not only amazing performers, but very gracious people as well. Will never forget her voice at the Tattoo backed by a couple hundred pipers and literally ringing off the surrounding mountain peaks. Breathtaking!
One of the truly great Scottish singers of our time.
I've seen her performing at the Highland Festival in Estes Park, Colorado. Even more magnificent in person.
Always loved Isla St. Clair a beautiful Lady with a great voice! Thanks my Bonnie Lady! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧😁👍🙏👏🙏👏😂😅🤣
This was great Thank you for Isla St Clair and all those wonderful soldiers, Our allies.
This is from A ww2 Vet in the USA
God bless and safe home to all your fine men.
I remember this song from when I was a wee boy , this is definitely the best version I have ever heard , well done Isla , superbly sung and executed .
RIP Fusilier Gordon Gentle aged 19 who died from an IED in Iraq just a few weeks out of basic training , NEVER FORGOTTEN.
My son and Gordon passed out at Catterick at the same time
Isla's tribute to the fallen is outstanding the young men returning in the c-17 is heartbreaking
To the family of cpl Nathan cirillo on the 2nd anniversary of his murder I will remember him..from Scottish Argylls to Canadian Argylls Lest we forget xx God bless
James Wardrop Thank you. I'm sure it means the world to his family that many are keeping him, and them in thought and prayer. 🇨🇦
If I was'nt Welsh born and proud I'd want to be Scottish. All power to the Celtic nations
This song reminds me of my long gone mom. Irish she may be, she loved Scottish music, especially Andy Stuart's "Scottish Soldier". Thank you for your beautiful rendition. Sláinte
I can't hear this without crying...its spine chilling and amazing.
Iv met isla in person when she used to have her pub in Cabanas Portugal 💖
Isla St Clair has the most beautiful voice. Walker's solo pipe instrumental is exceptionally clean and right on pitch. Lovely seamless blend of these two excellent artists.
- from a pipe and Scottish music fan in the good ol' USA.
The best version and video I have heard OF andys song Beautiful and poinant tribute to our Soldiers .
Isla you sing it with a passion bless you
HONOR, GLORY AND MEMORY for all the brave Scottish soldiers
My grandmothers favourite song . My grandfather died in Lille military hospital on 19/4/19. an injured P.O.W. at the hands of the Germans. My Grandmother brought her 4 children up in difficult times on a very modest war widows pension, her youngest daughter, was my mother. She was only 18months old when her father died in the April and it was the following February before the family were informed. God bless all those servicemen , past and present, who dedicated their lives for us.
Oh my, that video was heartbreaking. What a beautiful voice to go with a beautiful song. Thank you for sharing.
Bring tears to a stone no one sings this better
Just gets to you deep inside best version of this song
This is awesome....brought tears to my eyes. What a stirring and poinant tribute to the Scottish soldiers!

Ex Black Watch .xxxxx
Isla st Clair has such a beautiful voice and the pipes are just fantastic thanks for the memories i will treasure foe ever
Wonderful. My brother served in first Gulf War in 1990's. Grandfather and Great-Great Grandfather were in Scots regiments. I grew up listening to this song. Best wishes to your lad and may he and his oppos be safe.
Our Father's favorite tune, from the beaches of the S. Pacific in WWII, back to the green hills of Oregon. Miss you Dad!
A superb song and what a beautiful voice
Beautiful. Brought a tear to my eye. Purest voice I know
I totally agree Dave. Isla's rendition is second to none!
I 'm not ashamed to admit that I cried when first heard it a few years ago. At the time I was doing some family history research.
My Great Grandfather died in the (so called) great war!
Lance Corporal John Wood: born Kintore, Aberdeenshire 1876: Died, Mesopotamia (now Iraq) 1918.
A stark reminder of how little has changed in today's World.
Isla St.Clair sings this beautiful I think she puts such feeling into the song.
Isla and Gordon....GREAT COMBINATION...TWO LEAVING LEGENDS AND MYTHS
At the Alemeda Scot Irish festival no one speaks during this song and not for 3 minutes or so afterwards.
Not heard Isla sing for years.. Lovely!
We met you in Newberry, S.C., and again in Charleston, S.C. Your beautiful spirit is reflected in your music and in your life. Thank you for this wonderful tribute to the men and women who keep us free and safe. -David Fisher

lovely song and singer
Great Song, Great Video!
Wonderful performance!
Best version ever
Beautiful - that's all I can say !!!
Holy crap! Sens shivers from the first note!
Anyone remember Andy Stewart's rendition which found some success on American radio in the late 50's or early 60's..? I love Isla's right away, D.
I've been trying to forget Andy's version !! :-)
Beautiful and wonderfully done! Bravo (and Brava).
Brilliant !!!
Love this song, best version. God bless the fallen of heart of midlothian fc
Brilliantly performed. I love the way Gordon adapts the pipe-melody to fit Isla's beautiful singing, first time through. All pipers will be familiar with the final run; simply great!
Check out what we're doing at "Crest of Gordon".
Magic!
That's the best ever rendition I've seen of the famous Andy Stewart song. Brings it right up to the present.
Can anyone confirm the statue she signs beside, was that the one in Dundee? Looks like it.
Shiver me shoulders me love this video with all me happy an joy thanks for uploading me video
Yes it is the Black Watch statue just outside Dundee.
Regards

I'm proud to be a St. Clair!
Been a couole times over. Long to return. Fancy myself a scot. Kinda am.
Is this the most beautiful, most terribe thing we've ever seen? I learned this song a couple of months ago but never liked it as well as since I heard this version.
I've got friends in the Danish army who have served/are serving along side the British army. They always talk with affection and respect of the British "Squaddies".
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark is of the Clan Donald, which I think means the future King of Denmark ,Prince Christian, will be entitled to wear the tartan, though I don't know which ! Donald or Danish tartan (Scottish World Tartan Register No. 3129 )
bwwl959 Thanks for your thoughts! My eldest son is due to return to Iraq soon. All we can do is pray for an end to it all. Have you seen a youtube thing about WWI called "Red red rose--montage of Scottish soldiers?" It is purely brilliant. The background music is Robert Burns song: I never liked it as much as I do here!
Thanks to all soldiers for defending us. To all the people who say the army are a disgrace for fighting in Iraq, blame the govt, not the soldiers. They are only obeying orders from idiots.
God bless you Canada. Please don't forget you're kin folk Scotland. I'm Black Watch
Mush, no need to despair, the Welsh are looked upon as historically a Celtic nation, friend.
How poignant this song and video is at this time when so many of our brave sons are dying overseas god be with them and there families.
The Scots,Irish and Manx are of the Goidelic, us "Taffys" are of the Brythonic with the Kernow (Cornish) Breton and Cumbric. many of us Welsh and Kernow have started to proudly wear the "Cilt" again (no K in the Welsh alphabet).Bagpipes/Bacbib have been documented in Wales since the 10th century. Welsh traditional music declined somewhat with the rise of Nonconformist religion in the 18th century. In recent years there has been a revival in piping in Wales. Show the way Scotland!
