- This rough demo of 'The Bells of Dunblane' was put together as a suggestion piece for an upcoming 2011 concert, 'Celtic Twilight' by 'Acoushla Dance', 'Scots Guards Assoc. Pipes and Drums' and 'The Quiet Men. It's subject matter made for a very difficult write.
The Bells of Dunblane bagpipe tune, was written as a tribute to the children who were killed in a shooting at the local primary school in 1996. The tune was written by Robert Mathieson. Sixteen children with ages between 5/7 years and their teacher were killed. Rest in Peace with our Lord and the Angels.
As a Scotsman this song means so much to me and to my country as well #BellsOfDunblane #WeRemember 🏴🏴
I honour this song
The meaning behind this tune plus the haunting drone of the pipes will make anyone swell in tears. Thankyou for presenting this here for us.
I loved this tune from when I first heard it/played it with the band I'm in (Northampton Pipe Band). It was only afterwards that I discovered the significance and it took on a whole new meaning. I still get goosebumps every single time I hear it played...
Agree. This version is highly emotional. I'm a solo piper and had to learn this!
Oh, I love this tune! ♥️♥️♥️
Hauntingly beautiful. When I first heard this I knew I had to learn to play it. It's now on top of my play list. Very emotional tune...if it doesn't cause tears......
Its a great tune for sad memories
This very emotional. Amazing 👏👏❤
Brilliantly played.......love this tune. Im learning the pipes just now and will learn this tune some time :)
Beautiful tune

Awesome!
That is one melodic chanter. Is it made during or before 1960? Or a modern B flat chanter?
Hi David, that's a good question!
I've just had to check the tuning of the video to remind me of how I recorded it. (almost 10 years ago).
It is in 'Bb' concert pitch but, I can't remember if, by then, I had purchased a ''Shepherd'' Bb orchestral chanter which I now use for all recordings and gigs. (with my competition band we/I use MacCallum's current model).
I think on this recording it may have been my 1970's ''Tweedie'' wooden chanter that came with my pipes. I think I was using it back then to play with my Folk Band 'La Phooka'. I reckon we were all closer to Bb back then. Also, it is taped here and there to achieve a truer pitch.
Glad you noticed and all the effort is worth it.
Regards,
Richard
@@theinternationalhighlander6580 I didn't get to see this but that's an interesting thing to know about! I've never heard of Tweedie in my life, but regardless, I really love how it sounds.
Like the picture Scots Guards
Played at Robert Trump's (brother of Donald) funeral.
So what Trump is a mad man. He is not liked in our country and is not welcome here .
Play the tune as written. Playing otherwise does an injustice to the writer.
No artistic interpretation allowed..... ever?????
Bullshit. There is always an author-performer-listener circle - and space fir personal interpretation
While I believe in personal interpretation, I am one for following the tune as written as I feel it Is an injustice as well.
In my opinion this is an excellent attempt to recognize the background to the tune. It is very emotional to those of us who remember the horror of Dunblane. Robert Mathieson composed a wonderful memorial and in my opinion this tune should only be reserved for special memorials something like “Flowers of the Forest”
@@elizabethghent194 totally agree with you on this.
sounds really great...goosebumbs
