- Archive montage of the Massed Pipes and Drums and Military Bands of the Scottish Division. Beating Retreat at Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh, for the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977. At the time each regiment had a military band, a pipes and drums, and drummers were required to play the bugle. The Highland regiments also maintained Highland Dancing teams.
this is fantastic a pity that a lot of regiments are no longer...
they sound so awesome..
Awesome to see.
Back in the days where there where many regiments.
Same here in Denmark.
We had around 10 infantry regiments in 1977, now we have 2, the foot guards and a newly rebuildt light infantry.
Give us back our old regiments!
Auld good sound. The real thrill of the massed pipe bands.
When we had an army to be proud to be part of.
Yes.
I am a Cameron ,and proud to be one .This makes me proud to be a Scot .
Last time that Scottish regiments beating retreat was 1990
I wonder if that was the woman royal army corps band participating it? Like I kinda heard the commentator saying that there were few TA regiments and probably the girl in the massed bands is probably from the WRAC.
If you had told me that day that in the not to distant future all the regiments on parade would be relegated to the history books l would have laughed. Those days will never come again, it's still unpalatable to this day what was done in the name of cost savings.
Fantastic to see this !!!!
Hallo ! Very nice tunes and fantastic playing! I dont know if you can help but i will try. A long time ago and i cannot say for sure when, it must have been between !976 and 1980 but even that is not sure I saw on tv pipe bands playing in a stadium. They started really slow and were getting faster til they were playing reels and they were runnig at the same time!
I even dont know wich stadium this has been or in wich country this was. I know this is not a lot and its a long time ago but does anybody knows anything about it and can give me a hint whre I can find a recording or anything of that kind?
Best whishes from the harz mountains

We are not sure of the unit who runs and plays at the same tine would be. The Italian light infantry called the Bersaglieri are a great sight as they run and play a variety of trumpets and horns. The fastest pace in the British Army is 140 to the minute, which the bands of the Light Division played during the period you mentioned.
the last tune is the march of the scottish division by l/cpl kelly 1st bttn gordon highlanders he gave a manuscript copy of this
