Some guy brought bagpipes to the protest on the 6th, and when he started playing Scotland the brave, it’s like every white guy in the front ranks just knew what it meant. That’s when the crowd began to advance.
As an Englishman I must say that it is heartwarming to see that some parts of this once proud Island are proud to keep their traditions alive. In England, it seems, we have either forgotten how to or are just not allowed to do this anymore. To any Scottish and Welsh folk who may come across this comment.... "Please do not ever lose your National identity, keep up your traditions, protect them well and pass them on with pride to your children". England has lost its own identity, please don't let the same thing happen to you good Folk.
I'm a New Zealander with both English and Scottish heritage. It saddens my heart to see what England has become, and so many other western nations. I wish that people would stop feeling that it's racist to want to preserve their culture and heritage...it's not. Wars have been fought to prevent foreign nations from invading other countries, yet we are supposed to believe that it's wrong to object to our cultures being forever changed by demographic replacement...all without our consent. I too hope that people will rise up to protect their heritage before it's too late. In some countries it may already be. 😔
The Queen. God rest her soul. And now the king a little further removed. Are direct decedents of Robert the Bruce. A Bloody Scotsman. I always smile when the Brits get jiggy.
Somewhere deep in this English heart there is a strain of Scotland because all my life I have been stirred by the pipes and drums. God Bless Scotland ❤️🏴
Tracy, bagpipes and drums are indigenous to BRITAIN! They belong to all British people, and all our ancestors wore tartan. The oldest tartan is English-Northumbrian-and so is the sweetest bagpipes, the Northumbrian pipes :) Embrace your Britishness xx
I'm from Texas, still live here too. Never could understand why either but the first time I had ever heard that song it made my chest tighten up and had me tear up. Maybe its the ancestors
I’m not a Scot, but I tell you the truth, I become one whenever I hear Scotland the Brave played! I even did my own march up and down my living and dining room! I’m ready!!!❤
@Wirmire No, he meant nationalism, dipshit. Don't let the neutered, continental European mentality and fixation on nonexistent "natsees" poison you. Being a nationalist is good. It doesn't mean "rest of the world never", it just means "my nation FIRST, everyone else afterward, IF I have the time/resources/ability". Sincerely, a nonwhite American who still has his balls. Don't die, Scots. I hope your people find their balls again. 🇺🇸🏴
Imagine patrolling through a Scottish bog on dawns light and hearing this played this loudly a 100ft through the fog. Goes from patriotic and cheerful to terrifying.
I try not to watch this too much. My Dad recently died, and like me, he was very proud of our Scottish ancestry. Such a powerful song! Makes me cry every time.
I am a U.S. citizen of Scottish descent. We were able to travel to Scotland two years ago; I shall never forget it! What an amazing country that has had such an incredible influence on the rest of the world!
I used to live in that very town, in Young street and while I was there had the very good fortune see this every year. I now live in North Wales, but this reminds me of my many great times living in Scotland. I miss Dufftown very much, but i do get to visit Scotland still as my beautiful wife to be, comes from the stunning Isle of Skye. My son also plays the drum for the Elgin & District Mass Pipes & Drums. I am so proud of him.
I am Asian living in South England, every time I listen to Scottish pipes and drums, I feel moved, making me crying, it seems a part of rhythm in my memory, even I never heard long before, beautiful tunes, beautiful people, beautiful land, I wish I could live there on highland, I am planning to realize it by driving tour all the way up north there after this pandemic
Can you imagine yourself sitting in a trench on a battlefield waiting for help to arrive then off in the distance you hear this and know that God has heard your prayers
It was Robert the Bruce King of Scots who defended Bannockburn and beat the largest Army England ever assembled, Roberts small force of 7000 in Schiltrons form with Mobility attack/Defence with 600 light horse and few Archers in middle of Schiltrons drove 3 thousand heavy horse and Men in Arms and over 15000 footsoldier plus Welsh bowmen ended up being totaly routed, King Edward fled himself and was lucky James Douglas never got him with only 70 horsemen while Edward had 500 personal quard. He left his Army to be Slaughtered, Aye the ones who never drowned trying to flee with their big expensive Armour.
There was no British empire during the time of Bannockburn which happened in 1314 . Scotland and England joined in union to form the United Kingdom in 1707 which became the British Empire.
I am Canadian but my mom was Scottish, raised in Nova Scotia. She married my father here in Canada, who was from Derry in Northern Ireland. Every time that I hear the pipes, I get goosebumps...what an amazing feeling it is to hear bagpipes. Love to Scotland and Ireland!!!
My school, the Virginia Military Institute played this song during our Friday and Saturday parades. It is a tune that is dear to my heart as a Korean-American. God bless the Scottish folk for all they had to endure!

@@luciffertribal794 i’ve nothing against english people whatsoever, i was just making the point that people from Scotland that join the british army are very probably british minded, it’s not rocket science man. When you say “everything we’ve been through” you mean ww2? Cause every other war was pointless and a waste of blood. Scotland shouldn’t be in wars around the globe, we’re a small country that doesnt have youth to waste. As for hating people from England, Iagree with Dick Gaughan “Let friendship and honour unite and flourish on both sides of the Tweed”
@@rmac8378 Thank you for explaining and i get it i just still use the term British as its historical meaning we all are from the British Isles so we have our own nations but united together in Britain so when we say British military no one i know would call it the English military its British because its made from all corners of Britain and as for past wars before ww1 and 2 please remember it was a different time please don't judge history through the gaze of modern eyes it simply was a different time and as for wars and not many youth to go to war i completely understand we all feel the same since we have broken from the shackles of the EU i and all others i know want no more wars overseas let's focus on ourselves we need no more wars unless in self defence so we need to maintain a strong military and our nuclear capabilities but as a deterrent so no sane person would want to go to war so no loss of life. for the future all of us should focus on our people. together we can do great things we can build a united kingdom were we have everything we could ever need or want more business, more industries, more trade, future tech, we can achieve anything together. i know it was a different time and we used war but we will not use war in the future but remember we built the largest empire in human history together. one island with our history and technical prowess we can create a future we can all be proud of.
@@luciffertribal794 Ww1 was a different time yes but many stood out against the war at the time, much like iraq, so it’s not right to say “it was the times” because many many people opposed it and were jailed for doing so. Ww2 is different of course, that was a worthy war. About nukes, I don’t believe in nuclear deterrents, i believe in protecting our borders, no country would be mad enough to nuke Scotland or England. Scotland doesn’t want them and they’ve costed us billions. As for a “united kingdom”, i don’t want a kingdom, i want a scottish republic. Also i don’t live on “one island” my country of Scotland had 700 islands. Scotland and England need to break away for both our sakes, we’re too different. I believe culture is wealth and makes people happy and neither of our countries can have a real national culture while we’re split and confused between english or British and in Scotland Scottish or British. In your country a lot of people (especially metropolitan city folk) barely call themselves “english” because they think it sounds bad. England needs to be it’s own country.
I lived in Glasgow as a kid 1953 to 1956.l am 72 years old now and hearing this still brings tears to my eyes.Scotland is the land of my first memories. ❤ ❤ ❤
Born Fighting as Senator Jim Webb states in his book about how Scots-Irish Americans shaped America. Im a descendant of the Montgomerys, the first Scots-Irish to settle in Appalachia. I've always loved pipe and drum corps. VMI, the military college I graduated from has one bc of the Scotish traditions in the Highlands and Valley of Virginia.
Does anyone else go online and watch the tattoo competitions? It's really quite moving and exhilarating! Several years ago I attended the Tattoo/Highland Games at Stone Mountain, just outside Atlanta. What a thrill it was to watch all those pipe & drum bands playing & marching in mass. They covered the entire field. I was crying and cheering like crazy. I would love to travel to Scotland to see the tattoo at Edinburgh Castle. I've watched it online but just know the "up close & personal" version would be so much more thrilling. There is also a large Highland Games exhibition with pipe bands at Grandfather Mountain, NC. Ahhhhhhh, bliss.
My dad was a Scotsman, and every new years eve we would be woken up to this being played at full blast! I get the same goose bumps now as I got as a kid listening to it,he spent 22 years in the RAF and was proud as hell. My dad has now passed and this brought a tear to my eye. Thank you ❤️
there are many cultures with pride in their roots, traditions and costumes, but these guys are literally above them all. This is literal Braveheart-pride in the 21st century. Awesome!
A large part of my respect for them is because they have not forgotten their customs and traditions that carry a big part of their history Which is passed on from generation to generation . Long live Scotland Greetings from the Arabian Peninsula 🇸🇦
My heritage is Hispanic but I love this !!!!! If I could afford it I would travel to Scotland before I die to see these beautiful performances of tradition of the Scottish people .
As a US Marine at one time I had the pleasure of seeing a Scots Parade live at one time while over across the pond. It was back in the early 80's and was well taken by me.
Well, i'm french but my region was colognised by the Queen and expecially from the Scottish, in fact in my family i have a lot of scottish, i fell proud of my nation
As an Englishman I gladly admit, this still gives me goosebumps, the finest, most tenacious warriors the British ever had, and are likely to have, long live the brave.
I love bagpipes. It brings a tear to my eye every time I hear them. I went to a Military school that had bagpipers. I regret not learning to play. I would love to go to Scotland some day. Thank you.
I can't never see the U.K split up, Scotland remembers the bad that is past but also the glory years of becoming most powerful Country in World and peace for 300 years. The U.K as a whole is still top Country in World 🏴🏴🇬🇧🏴🏴🇬🇧🏴🏴🇬🇧 FOREVER ?!
As a Scot, it genuinely fills my heart with pride that so many people from so many nations relate to this video, it's music and the Scots. We might only be a nation of 5 million, but at times our reach seems far greater. If you want to be a Scot, then simply let this music lift you up to that dream.
To all those who have commented, thank you. I was one of the pipers on that glorious day in July 2019. Sadley 2020 was cancelled, some virus i believe, the virus doesn't stand a chance in Dufftown,,,,home of some of the worlds best whiskies...virus V whisky...whisky wins...always..... however I hope the 2021 Dufftown games will go ahead, all are very very welcome, see you all there july 2021.....bring a friend and make the 2021 Games awesome!
First time I heard Scotland the Brave was in the movie the Devils Brigade. ( Should tell you how old I am.) Hope to hear it live one day. God bless from the U.S.
If I had to die for my country going into battle I would want to hear the Star Spangled Banner and then this song. God Bless all the troops in the World that fight the good fight to preserve our freedoms all over. May God be with us all.
I'm an American of Scandinavian and English ancestry. I don't have a Scots gene in my make up, but I love the pipes from the first time I ever heard them as a small child, when they marched by in a parade. Everytime I hear the pipes I get a chill and a thrill. I especially love Scotland the Brave and Amazing Grace. The pipes and drum are my guilty pleasure I guess you could say.
@H U well i hope so too, that's what i think: Scotland has never had things in common with GB, Scotland is just unique and even if i'm not scottish but i'm from Bretagne( France) i think we have much more things in common, Scotland is a place where you feel at home and people are so humble and hardworkers and at the same time they know how to cry and smile at the same time
And that is Scotland! The pipes...the hills...the marching and the sheer colour and spectacle! Stay with us always. Scotland the Brave indeed. I'm English.

You can smell and taste the pride of the Scot’s when their pipe bands march. Always brings a tear to my eye when I see and hear them. Outstanding stuff 👍
I’ve always loved the pipes! They reach to the very core of my being! My maiden name is derived from the Scottish name Balderee. Maybe, just maybe I’ve got a tiny bit of Scott in me. My husband is Scottish and Irish, so I know our son and our grandchildren do! Said son and family gifted me a DNA kit for my birthday, can’t wait to get my results!!! ❤️
This is AMAZING! I’m not Scottish and I’ve never been to Scotland, but I’ve always loved the sound of bagpipes! 🤩 They sound so clean and powerful! My favorite countries in the UK are definitely Scotland and Wales 🏴🏴 Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Always loving this song. Born in Stirling, taught to play bagpipes from the wee age of 5, knew this off by heart by the time I was 6. 37 now, still play this whenever a really good event happens in my life, or before a big event (like how soldiers would play this marching towards battle, for me playing this before, for example, a big job interview). Keeping up the tradition, and always will to the grave. Go Scotland! 🏴
Imagine your in a battle with smoke everywhere, you're getting low on ammo and the enemy has you surrounded, all seems lost when all of a sudden you hear the faint sound of bagpipes in the distance and hope sneaks back into your soul...

Scotland shouldn’t be in wars around the globe, we’re a small country that doesnt have youth to waste.
As for hating people from England, Iagree with Dick Gaughan “Let friendship and honour unite and flourish on both sides of the Tweed”
@@rmac8378 Thank you for explaining and i get it i just still use the term British as its historical meaning we all are from the British Isles so we have our own nations but united together in Britain so when we say British military no one i know would call it the English military its British because its made from all corners of Britain and as for past wars before ww1 and 2 please remember it was a different time please don't judge history through the gaze of modern eyes it simply was a different time and as for wars and not many youth to go to war i completely understand we all feel the same since we have broken from the shackles of the EU i and all others i know want no more wars overseas let's focus on ourselves we need no more wars unless in self defence so we need to maintain a strong military and our nuclear capabilities but as a deterrent so no sane person would want to go to war so no loss of life. for the future all of us should focus on our people. together we can do great things we can build a united kingdom were we have everything we could ever need or want more business, more industries, more trade, future tech, we can achieve anything together. i know it was a different time and we used war but we will not use war in the future but remember we built the largest empire in human history together. one island with our history and technical prowess we can create a future we can all be proud of.

Ww1 was a different time yes but many stood out against the war at the time, much like iraq, so it’s not right to say “it was the times” because many many people opposed it and were jailed for doing so. Ww2 is different of course, that was a worthy war.
About nukes, I don’t believe in nuclear deterrents, i believe in protecting our borders, no country would be mad enough to nuke Scotland or England. Scotland doesn’t want them and they’ve costed us billions. As for a “united kingdom”, i don’t want a kingdom, i want a scottish republic. Also i don’t live on “one island” my country of Scotland had 700 islands. Scotland and England need to break away for both our sakes, we’re too different.
I believe culture is wealth and makes people happy and neither of our countries can have a real national culture while we’re split and confused between english or British and in Scotland Scottish or British. In your country a lot of people (especially metropolitan city folk) barely call themselves “english” because they think it sounds bad. England needs to be it’s own country.
I'm not scottish and I never been in this country but believe me how I love your country your music and above all how I love your pride
God bless you
I lived in Glasgow as a kid 1953 to 1956.l am 72 years old now and hearing this still brings tears to my eyes.Scotland is the land of my first memories. ❤ ❤ ❤
Home sweet home always
Born Fighting as Senator Jim Webb states in his book about how Scots-Irish Americans shaped America. Im a descendant of the Montgomerys, the first Scots-Irish to settle in Appalachia. I've always loved pipe and drum corps. VMI, the military college I graduated from has one bc of the Scotish traditions in the Highlands and Valley of Virginia.
Does anyone else go online and watch the tattoo competitions? It's really quite moving and exhilarating! Several years ago I attended the Tattoo/Highland Games at Stone Mountain, just outside Atlanta. What a thrill it was to watch all those pipe & drum bands playing & marching in mass. They covered the entire field. I was crying and cheering like crazy. I would love to travel to Scotland to see the tattoo at Edinburgh Castle. I've watched it online but just know the "up close & personal" version would be so much more thrilling. There is also a large Highland Games exhibition with pipe bands at Grandfather Mountain, NC. Ahhhhhhh, bliss.
Am an English man but this is truly amazing to see & hear 🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧
Long live the uk
Un saludo cordial desde España
My dad was a Scotsman, and every new years eve we would be woken up to this being played at full blast!
I get the same goose bumps now as I got as a kid listening to it,he spent 22 years in the RAF and was proud as hell.
My dad has now passed and this brought a tear to my eye. Thank you ❤️
Eyes wet every time I hear bagpipes! Love Scotland, from Argentina
I might be a born-and-raised American, but I’ve been listening to this stuff ever since I was little. Best regards from 🇺🇸
there are many cultures with pride in their roots, traditions and costumes, but these guys are literally above them all. This is literal Braveheart-pride in the 21st century. Awesome!
A large part of my respect for them is because they have not forgotten their customs and traditions that carry a big part of their history Which is passed on from generation to generation .
Long live Scotland
Greetings from the Arabian Peninsula 🇸🇦
Why and when were pipes banned in Scotland?
や
Moors fall before the swords of the 3 kings like grass before a good scythe!
My heritage is Hispanic but I love this !!!!! If I could afford it I would travel to Scotland before I die to see these beautiful performances of tradition of the Scottish people .
Nice to see those who are proud of their tradition. If you're not, who else would be?
Exactly!!!!!!
I’m pure & proud Ukrainian but Scotland the Brave always has a place in my heart ♥️
Sends chills down my spine. You can't help but feel the power. 🏴💪
As a US Marine at one time I had the pleasure of seeing a Scots Parade live at one time while over across the pond. It was back in the early 80's and was well taken by me.
I'm as English as they come, and I live in Wales now, but if this doesn't stir your soul, you must be dead.
I'm American, Dutch decent, some Irish, your absolutely right. Its felt clear to the Bones!
Well, i'm french but my region was colognised by the Queen and expecially from the Scottish, in fact in my family i have a lot of scottish, i fell proud of my nation
@@Asdrupalle moors fall before the swords of the 3 kings like grass before a good scythe
Spot on. Wonderful.
With I was there.!!
Why the dislikes ...? Scotland brave and it’s gallent men may we never forget their bravery loyalty sacrifice I honour them always
English wankers
@@succhiatoredelcazzo4689 I'd love to meet u
I love and appreciate such pride in heritage. It's so genuine; something that isn't common these days.
As an Englishman I gladly admit, this still gives me goosebumps, the finest, most tenacious warriors the British ever had, and are likely to have, long live the brave.
Mair cannon fodder for your empire mair like.
My paternal grandmother was Scot, and if I could have had my way, Scotland The Brave would have been played at her funeral. Blessed be Ye, Grandma.
greetings from germany.. Well done ...nice to see there are people still left in europe who proudly present their ancestors traditions rituals !
People wonder why Scots and Irish drink so much but when you make music this beautiful the only way not to cry is swallowing whisky
I imagine to travel to 🏴 and see this for real. What a moment. 🤩
A hug from Portugal to Scotland. 🇵🇹🤝🏴
My family and I are Scottish, Irish, Welsh, French, and American Indian, so seeing this video makes me proud of our heritage.
so beautiful and inspiring brings tears to my eyes and a full heart…i wish i was Scottish!!!
Brave and proud Scottish people and your amazing music which touchs my heart.
Man i love your culture guys only respect from bavaria. Proud to see some guys celebrating their country ❤️
I love bagpipes. It brings a tear to my eye every time I hear them. I went to a Military school that had bagpipers. I regret not learning to play. I would love to go to Scotland some day. Thank you.
Its not to late. I am 61 and started a year ago......
Dufftown Highland games last Saturday in July.Look forward to seeing you.😀👍
Makes me miss my late husband he was Scottish and he played a lot of bag pipe music and he loved it a lot.
Lady, I am sorry for your lost ...
If this was an army approaching I would be terrified
its crazy too think this how things were done back then
Or inspired. Either way I guess. :)
you mean the guns? you know the saying...guns dont...
That's the whole idea!
That's why they are also known as the war pipes.
I'm from Italy but every time I hear the pipes I have goosebumps !!! I love Scotland ❤
We in the US would never have had a country without these hard nosed, stubborn Scots. God Bless them. I wish we had them over here now.
We do. And those of us with Jacobite heritage hate you Trump supporting pieces if trash more than we do the British
They are here now, they work in the police and fire department with the Irish.
Trump's mother is Scottish
Thank goodness we have bagpipers here in our beloved states to give us a good show
I am Hungarian, and my soul is with the Scottish, a brave nation, an example to follow
Listening to bagpipes never gets old. Hello from Atlanta, Georgia. 👍
Thank you for your kind words .our love to Georgia. From Scotland
Thanks Georgia from the Robertson's in England
WATCHOUT THE GENOCIDAL YANKEE
Nothing I like more as a welsh man than seeing proud scots and their pipes parading -glad were on the same side all the time now
Never mess with a country whose national sport is tossing utility poles.
I just visited Scotland 🏴 and I love Scotland and the People there soo much💕☀️🌺✨What a amazing country 🤩🙏
Hear this in the field of battle and you know you are about to be saved.....or die. The United Kingdom is so proud of you, please don’t leave us.
Amen!
We are hear for ya man
I can't never see the U.K split up, Scotland remembers the bad that is past but also the glory years of becoming most powerful Country in World and peace for 300 years. The U.K as a whole is still top Country in World 🏴🏴🇬🇧🏴🏴🇬🇧🏴🏴🇬🇧 FOREVER ?!
@@davidwallace4416 totally agree with you mate one country one nation 👏👍
Hahaha ma man gods own people
As a Scot, it genuinely fills my heart with pride that so many people from so many nations relate to this video, it's music and the Scots. We might only be a nation of 5 million, but at times our reach seems far greater. If you want to be a Scot, then simply let this music lift you up to that dream.
To all those who have commented, thank you. I was one of the pipers on that glorious day in July 2019. Sadley 2020 was cancelled, some virus i believe, the virus doesn't stand a chance in Dufftown,,,,home of some of the worlds best whiskies...virus V whisky...whisky wins...always..... however I hope the 2021 Dufftown games will go ahead, all are very very welcome, see you all there july 2021.....bring a friend and make the 2021 Games awesome!
If you are telling the truth that you were one of them then by golly you did a absolutely fantastic job (you and everyone else there)!
Bless you for being a part of something so soul stirring!
Yes we look forward to seeing you all in 2021.31st July.😀👍
you think that?
we'll we see back that micah
God bless Scotland. Cheers!
You have heard nothing until you hear massed pipers playing “Scotland The Brave” live…chills every single time ❤
First time I heard Scotland the Brave was in the movie the Devils Brigade. ( Should tell you how old I am.) Hope to hear it live one day. God bless from the U.S.
As an American this is truly awe inspiring.
If I had to die for my country going into battle I would want to hear the Star Spangled Banner and then this song. God Bless all the troops in the World that fight the good fight to preserve our freedoms all over. May God be with us all.
I'm an American of Scandinavian and English ancestry. I don't have a Scots gene in my make up, but I love the pipes from the first time I ever heard them as a small child, when they marched by in a parade.
Everytime I hear the pipes I get a chill and a thrill. I especially love Scotland the Brave and Amazing Grace. The pipes and drum are my guilty pleasure I guess you could say.
If Scotland is NOT free you are not Free.
@@dennisvanallen9308 If America is Not free, you are Not Free! Pray for America please! 🇺🇸
I'm not scottish, but i feel so proud of Scotland! I want to live in Scotland
@H U well i hope so too, that's what i think: Scotland has never had things in common with GB, Scotland is just unique and even if i'm not scottish but i'm from Bretagne( France) i think we have much more things in common, Scotland is a place where you feel at home and people are so humble and hardworkers and at the same time they know how to cry and smile at the same time
Love scotch whisky (Dalmore is my favorite one btw):))))
And that is Scotland! The pipes...the hills...the marching and the sheer colour and spectacle! Stay with us always. Scotland the Brave indeed. I'm English.
Look at the vote and let us go or think on it. SAOR ALBA GU BRATH
Sympathies, Susan ...
@@northscot9862Yes look at the vote thank F that SNP muppets are out who would ruin Scotland and cant even say where they will find Scotland's 40 Billion Deficit every year which England currently pays from English tax payer. A brainless Scot 🙈 Im a proud Scot ALWAYS FIRST but im also for the Union Stronger together 🏴♥️🇬🇧💯
A Swedish salut to the proud Scottish people. I have always been welcome to Scotland, I will always welcome you to Sweden. Greetings.
I used to march in the United States Air Force. It felt so good. Can bring tears even today when I watch this.
How old are you?
the 'pipes can stir the soul for sure J.B.
You can smell and taste the pride of the Scot’s when their pipe bands march.
Always brings a tear to my eye when I see and hear them. Outstanding stuff 👍
Me too!
I'm a McDonald Of Sleat... my dad is from Fort William, I was born in Australia... never been to Scotland but when I hear this... FUUUUUAAAAAAARK
No words,great respect from Croatia for proud nation. Long live Scotland ❤❤❤
Love and respect from Greece Scottish brothers, long live Scotland!
I'm Scottish and I'm always filled with an immense sense of pride when I hear the bagpipes. I also get a little emotional but I don't really know why
Many of us get emotional when we hear the massed bands!
ME TOO.
I’ve always loved the pipes! They reach to the very core of my being! My maiden name is derived from the Scottish name Balderee. Maybe, just maybe I’ve got a tiny bit of Scott in me. My husband is Scottish and Irish, so I know our son and our grandchildren do! Said son and family gifted me a DNA kit for my birthday, can’t wait to get my results!!! ❤️
If you feel it, you are! Love from Scotland!
This is AMAZING! I’m not Scottish and I’ve never been to Scotland, but I’ve always loved the sound of bagpipes! 🤩 They sound so clean and powerful! My favorite countries in the UK are definitely Scotland and Wales 🏴🏴 Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Always loving this song. Born in Stirling, taught to play bagpipes from the wee age of 5, knew this off by heart by the time I was 6. 37 now, still play this whenever a really good event happens in my life, or before a big event (like how soldiers would play this marching towards battle, for me playing this before, for example, a big job interview). Keeping up the tradition, and always will to the grave. Go Scotland! 🏴
Imagine your in a battle with smoke everywhere, you're getting low on ammo and the enemy has you surrounded, all seems lost when all of a sudden you hear the faint sound of bagpipes in the distance and hope sneaks back into your soul...
If you hear pipes hell and help are coming.
Dude I love your icon
Don't make me cry
The skirl of the pipes has inspired more than a few soldiers, & put the fear of God into many more.
Bagpipes are physically impossible to be "faint".
No wonder the Scots are great warriors , this really stirs the heart and soul !
Keep marching brave Scotland! and don't let the jaws of modernity tear apart your ancient traditions. Greetings from Mexico!!
@Redblade If you don't have respect for other people's traditions, then you have very deep disorientation about anything. I do not pity you, tough...
Goddamit...
As a german 🇩🇪 my standstill would last till the last man... 🥹👍🏻💪🏻
Such an expression of pride and honesty... 🥹👍🏻
Scottish, the brave. 🏴
