I always wonder about those people who hate bagpipes. I just get chills, everytime.
Every single time. My hair stand attention for the entirety of the song.
With a name like "Douglas" it's almost required
Me too.
I didn't know anyone hated bagpipes :)
Me neither
All of a sudden I feel proud of being Scottish, even though I am Italian...
Don't worry I am South African and feel just as proud of the Scottish.
@Talorc MacAllan Aye! My non extisting scottish- filipino blood is now in sync!
me 2
I am of Scottish descent and own several kilts and everything and feel MORE Scottish watching this. :) It's normal when you hear the pipes and drums
Me too and I am Swedish😂😘
I am from kuwait 🇰🇼 .....captivated by Lands of kings and queens + people of scots i love u
Not a Scottish cell in my body, still brings me to tears.
If you feel Scottish, you are Scottish. That's the way it works here. ❤️ from 🏴
The Scottish used to play the bagpipes at war because they would say it stirs the blood. Definitely does stir the blood.
They say there is a little Scottish in everyone… I think it’s true.
@@NotGreigfrom what I've heard about the ex wife's new ginger boyfriend it's about what I've heard as well. And no, we got divorced 13 years ago so the 'wee' man is just a joke to me, one I pity.
@@user-xd5pr4qd4z You talk some amount of Shite for the one guy.
The bagpipe is the most powerful instrument ever to make sound.
what about the organ
@@albanborici8093 a very close second
What did you say? I can't hear you!
The only instrument to be classified as a weapon.
The organ? 😑
I'm Spanish but every single time I hear the pipes and the drums I get chills all over. Pure joy. Sometimes I wish I was a Scotsman
I'm not Scottish but I think the pipes are for everybody. Carlos Nuñez is a famous piper from Spain who plays the gaitas. Pipes are everywhere.
Youve got some scots blood in you somewhere down the line and in your heart! Scotland Forever!
Si tienes algo de gallego , pues hasta eres pariente lejano, como quien dice
You are brother 🇪🇸🏴
Isn't there a province in Spain called Galicia after the Gaels who lived there originally? They migrated to Britain then to Ireland and then to Scotland. They were also called the Scoti by the Romans. So the Scots came from Spain although their travels started even before that. As far as ethnicities go the peoples of Europe share most of the same ancestors in varying degrees. We tend to identify with one nation or another but I believe we are generally of mixed descent from all of them. You can do a DNA test and I guarantee that you will be surprised at what you discover.
Most respect from Romania! God bless Scottish People! God bless Scottish Army! For... everything in THE WORLD!
M from India 🇮🇳
These Scottish Pipes makes me cry to... Its a sound of victory, sound of power and class ❤️
Amazing
Scotland is a country that you're proud of for absolutely no reason.
Well, THIS is the reason for being proud as a Scottish (Even if you're not)
Sorry about your loss 🙏🙏🙏🌻🌻🌻💜
correct lol weve done nothing but were beutiful lol
I am Colombian and I am PROUD OF SCOTLAND BECAUSE IT'S A SOUL OF A HUMAN LAND: THE LAND OF MANKIND.
If you knew what comes in haggis , you may change your mind.
My dad died on Wednesday 30th September he was 93years old from Manchester. He was a side drummer in the Cameron highlands in the war. He was still playing years later in the Whit-walks. His ashes will be scattered in Scotland even though he's an Englishman he love the place and the pipes and drums. Flowers of the forest and the Black Bear (return to barracks)will be played at his funeral. A much missed dad.
Sorry for your loss, i hope you and your family are ok.🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss. Those are beautiful songs. May he rest in peace.
You're Father is an honorary Scotsman. May he always rest in peace.
I'm an Englishman who served in the Scots guards and those are the two pipe tunes I want playing at my funeral too.
Greatest respect
When you’re on a battlefield and you hear pipe and drum you either say “Thank God help has arrived”, or you say “Oh shit, I’m having a really bad day.”
Or you will turn tail and run
well bagpipes where considered weapons of war up until the mid 90s or something like that.
I am a piper as well
Imagine hearing the drums from 3:37 in the dead of night. Silence, then suddenly… HOLY SH*T!!
Apparently the first to land on D-Day (the light glider infantry who successfully took Pegasus Bridge) knew they were about to be relieved because Lord Lovat wandered up the road with a lone piper in tow.
The chills on my arms give tribute to the Scots!! I'm an African American from Chicago and this has touched me deeply. I'll be playing this loudly through Chicago

If you ever get the chance, come see the Edinburgh Tattoo live 😂🙌🏻💖 as I commented elsewhere, you fully appreciate it’s a war instrument when you’re in its vicinity! It vibrates the ground and air, so that it’s like standing an inch from a concert speaker! The enemy would feel us marching and the vibrations from the pipes from miles away 😝 If it were me, I’d turn around and RUN 😂💖🙌🏻
@@TallulahFoxxx 001 p 1q
go on son
PLAY IT LOUD
My dad passed away in March! This was the song I played on the way to the cemetery as loud as the could as a way to say good bye! This will be ever known as Rays last March! Love you dad
May he rest in peace.
R.I.P
RIP
RIP
I hope you're coping a little better after a year or so. Losing your dad is such an awful thing, I'm sure you and your family miss him very much. I'm sure he was a good man and I'm sorry for your loss.
Our liberators 75 years ago. From Holland with love
If you would have stayed neutral you wouldn´t have to have a "liberator".....
As a 28 year old proud Scotsman this comment this put tears in my eyes, proud of my history proud of my country
Frankish Empire dumbass, Holland was neutral but got invaded by Germany in 1940.
@@frankishempire2322 oh dear me lighten up mate they was saying thank you 🙄😕
A very large proportion of Canadians is of scottish descent . They were important in the liberation of Holland .
I've seen a LOT of concerts in my life, rock concerts, real rock stars, the best rock groups, full stadiums. But I was not prepared to the stroke of emotions that hit my heart the first time I saw and heard Tattoo. Once they entered I was in front line and I could not cry for joy and emotions. There was a vibe i never heard anywhere in the world. The sound of pipes is so strong and it really carve something in your soul when you hear it. They say this music it stirs the blood. It really does!!! I could fight a legion of dragons with no fear after this music. Saw them again for third time and that was an experience, again and again.
I am Asian, tens of thousands of kilometers away from Scotland. But I really like your bagpipe culture, and tonight, I specially boarded RUclips to listen to this exciting and contemplative melody.
said it before God bless Scotland. From an American with love.
Eric Michels thank you....
From a Scotsman 💙
cana beat drums and scrill o pipes
@@robbiecampbell9831 No, you can not!
one of the coolest things I ever saw were the British marching in to Iraq playing the pipes, it impressed us. as a US Marine I was proud to fight with them.
If you want a treat type "The Battle of Waterloo - Charge of the British Heavy Cavalry" in youtube search xD
as they are proud to be allied to the Marines,God bless America
Scottish!! Learn the difference!!!
I'm also a U.S. Marine that had the privilege and honor to fight alonside the Royal Marines in Afghanistan. There is nothing like waking up in a war zone to the sound of bagpipes and drums.
Scottish! you need a history lesson, its an insult to Scotland and their men to call them British when they were forced through generations of oppression to be part of England, If you respect them then at least have enough respect to refer to them as Scottish, GHB are Irish/Scottish in origin not british or English, that would be like me calling you a Mexican just because Mexico sits in the America's...
God Bless Scotland and this amazing music... and God Bless our Uniited kingom...Scotland the brave.
Nothing on earth can compete with the amazing sound of the massed pipes and drums, so moving.
I see an Indian Pipes and Drums Band in there! Pride and Joy!
Sujay Pillai yyshsjais
God Bless those men! From Glasgow Scotland.
There's nothing like a pipe & drum band to get your patriotic blood flowing. Greetings from the US.
Aye I feel this.
I'm Polish and I very love Scotland, the culture and the people. I went to visit Scotland for first time before living in Scotland and the people are very hospitable. I'll always retain my Polish culture and speech but Scotland will be in my heart also. Love from Poland 🇵🇱🏴
As a homegrown scot this music is in our blood and stirs emotions to its hilt but comments from other people in other countries loving and feeling emotional is pure Magic!!!! Thank you!!!
No Mate Thank You !
Scottish folk played a large part here in America as well, not many of their efforts recognized. As an elderly American with strong Scottish heritage, it makes my blood sing as well, brings a tear to my eyes whenever I hear the pipes and drums. Beannacht Dé ort! God's blessing on you!
wouldn't it stir down to the pommel?
I’m Italian and Scottish I always thought I was Irish but it’s really Scottish when I found out, maybe that’s why I get chills when I hear bagpipes !
Stateside Scottish german and irish to irsh German blood, still stirs the blood *forehead to forehead* cousin, stay well.
From an Englishman, i feel proud when i listen to this.
luv ya Scotland the brave.
From a Scotsman living in England I love the best England has to offer as well as the Welsh and the Irish. It's a pity more people can't recognise what's good about what the others have to offer instead of focussing on the stereotypes and mistakes of history.
Mike Fergus RIGHT ON MA MAN
Mike Fergus Ireland isn't part of the United Kingdom.
Errr.........I don't think I said it was? You are right of course and well done for pointing it out. Not sure why you did but hey, you are right and if that makes you feel good, good on you!
Mike Fergus What does Wales has to offer?
I may be a Welsh/Australian, but Scottish bagpipes are always a sound I will gladly listen to.
GO SCOTLAND !!!!! Makes this old U.S. Marine want to march into battle listening to those pipes....
PIPER TILL THE END!
SEMPER FI!
The most melodious and harmonic music man has ever created.
Long life Scottish people,from Colombian Celtiberian family.❤
Many Americans have English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish blood flowing thru our veins. Having attended the Military Tattoo myself in 2012, I felt such a pride that my family history is in every note of the bagpipes and every drum beat!! Spent 2 weeks touring the British Isles, and I loved every second of it!! Hope to return someday!!
You'll be welcomed back
your always welcome back
I've been 6 times and yes the chills when the mass bands come out😊
When shows like this no longer stir people to their very bones, civilization will have ceased to exist.
Well said
Nice
Slainte mhath.
I'm English so I think I might get punched for being here 😂 but seriously, what a fucking beautiful instrument the bagpipes are, the sound brings the attention of every person who can hear them. Truly beautiful.
*punch*
It all funny and games until you hear them and the war cry’s of Scotsmen.
Im punching you and loving ya at the same time! 🥰 for ur lovely taste in music and 👊for being english but loving the scottish sound!! Coooshty
You must have a wee bit of Celt in the DNA, Owen (a fine Welsh name boyo) Lol!!
@@royzee28 best spelling is Eoghan
I'm part Welsh, this sends chills down my spine every time. This is amazing!!!!!!
It's the celtic blood
@@KevinBhoy94 indeed it is!
My wife and I were actually there at the Tattoo. Truly amazing. People from all walks of life and nationalities enjoying it together. As it should be!!!
Still get a lump in throat. Amazing.
Musicians all.....and brave warriors. Goosebumps and tears.
One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
I think that constant drone that bagpipes make underneath the notes really adds a lot to their epic sound.
Of course!! You don't realise how vital the drones are to a good bagpipe sound until you play without them.
I went to a school in South Africa with a large Scottish history, being named after one of the biggest clans in Scotland and receiving their blessing in this regard. We were steeped in Scottish tradition and being a snare drummer in that school’s band was such an honour. I miss this so much.
As beautiful as the bagpipes are, and don’t get me wrong I could listen to it till kingdom comes, I absolutely love watching the drummers “dance” as they play

Me too! Those views of the bouncing bass drums made me smile every time!!
Listen with headphones and you can hear every skirl and beat, every note and pause. Definitely reaches to my soul.
Viva a Escócia 🏴!!!!
Eu amo a música tradicional escocesa 💙!
Parabéns Escócia 🏴 🇬🇧 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beijos do Brasil 🇧🇷!
As an ex Army Veteran, I will never forget how incredible it felt to march with The Pipes and Drums. And if you do manage to see one, I guarantee nobody is out of step!
I served...I hope my ancestors are proud
Except the crowd trying to clap
Not a veteran, but when I was young my grandfather (who served in the RAF in WWII) took me to a performance like this. Pipes and drums. Highland dancers. The band had veterans of the Falklands war among them. It was incredible. Something inside me said "this is the music of my people."
Proud to be an Ulster/Scot 🥰
I had the honor to take pipe lessons with a ex-dragoon guard.
Even as a civilian it's so impressive.
🎉
GO SCOTLAND!!! God bless the Scots and Scotland! Love and respect from Brazil!
There is something about pipes and drums that shakes me to my hearts core. Tears run down my face and soon I'm sobbing like some fool
That's because they're defiantly beautiful. Like a beautiful maid telling her enemy to f*** off!
Agreed. The pipes and drums makes my hair stand attention for the entirety of the song. Its in our genes.
@@dannywilliams3764 😂 Is it? Nearest I got to Scotland, was shagging a gorgeous Scottish lad in the 1990s. But absolutely listening to this makes the hairs on my neck stand up
Aye I know what you mean , I just get up and jig and reel around the room it’s very therapeutic, all the best 🤝🏴
I love Scotland 🏴❤️ greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
My Beloved. Always stand. For ever Honor. For ever stand. The sound of the Pipes really my soul.
I’m proud that my ancestors are from Scotland!!
My grandfather was Scottish and he loved the pipes. Every time I hear them the chills that I get and the joy I have of remembering him are priceless. I miss you grandpap!
I just returned from the 2015 show on 8/17/15. The show is simply awesome and very moving. If you ever wish to hear the pipe and drums in front of a beautiful castle, then head over to Edinburgh. I could watch them every night!!!
I attended a Tattoo when I was 8, and I can not express how much of an impact this event has had over the following 32 years of my life. Put on your headphones, turn it up, and accept a little hearing loss. Full body goosebumps every time. Much love from Seattle, WA.
For some reason this kind of demonstration gives me courage. I see why it's so deeply ingrained into their military tradition. Being an American Military man with family history in the Military as well, it's nice to see other nations traditions going strong.
These guys had traditions going strong before the US existed.
I'm Italian I love my country but I love Scotland as well. I spent many beautiful holidays with my hudsband. Greetings from Milan.
I've lost count how many times I've restarted this... 1 more won't hurt
Ever since I was a young child I’ve absolutely loved Scottish pipe bands, tingling and goosebumps, then did some research my ancestors came from Glasgow to Australia, I recently attended a Scottish festival wearing my great grandmother’s tartan pattern kilt , such pride and comradeship amongst them
All .
Beautiful and a fighting spirit. Many north Americans are truly jealous of an ancient national identity ( myself included). Rock on Scots, your blood resides with us
Have you visited the old country? You won’t be disappointed
@@haruspex1-50 I have not, I'm saving to travel. My fiance has only been a few states away from Georgia and never left the ground. We both need to leave this continent
@@slowstang88native Scot here 🙋🏼♀️ here’s a fun fact of the day for you lol: as you know, the national motto of the USA is In God, We Trust, replacing the former one, “E Pluribus Unum” (out of many, one). Very patriotic and dignified 👏🏻 Well, you’ve also probably heard of the (mostly American) expression “f**k around and find out!!”, meaning “try me - see what happens”.
Well, the national motto of Scotland hasn’t changed since it was implemented in 1578: “nemo me impune lacessit” - *no one provokes me with impunity* So basically, our ancient national motto is “f**k around and find out!” 😆👏🏻🏴
I was amazed to see the amount of dislikes. As a Mexican American full of heritage i was awed by such beauty in heritage. This was beautiful, just beautiful!
i've loved the sound of bagpipes for as long as i can remember.
Every Edinburgh Military Tattoo Ive seen brings tears to my eyes. I don't know why other than to say it's just a beautiful thing to see and hear.
The piper led troops into battle, with only his bagpipes, no weapon.
Scotland! Soldier on!
My Scottish ancestral blood pounds when I hear the pipes and drums!!
Funny that your name is english/french. lol
At 75 years old I have but just discovered flash mobs and U-tube…wonderful.
Actually it's RUclips, you're thinking of U-boats.

God bless you
RUclips, sir.
Bagpipes and Drums are bound to the soul of anyone that has a heart that is with us.
And it terrifies our enemies, so we can be better soldiers..
The tradition, the History it belongs to us.
And so, our enemies live in fear of us.
Brilliant. Respect from Turkey.
..I could listen this for 24hrs and start over again endlessly and do not why exactly. It'superb. I remember one of the two tattoo I heard live, suddendly a loud thunder in the sky. Pipes+Thunder=AWESOMENESS
I love the passion of the guards bass drummer at about 4,32, he is really enjoying it!
Tom Henderson . You are so right. when even the bass drummer is dancing it's got to be good!!!!
I’m actually a southern country boy from America, but those bagpipes are just incredible sounding. They are my 2nd favorite instrument right below the banjo
Absolutely nobody can say they wouldn’t be scared shitless if they heard this approaching them on a battlefield.
Fr
Imagine… in the dead of night… you have no idea where the enemy is. Then you start hearing the drums at 3:35 getting closer from all directions.
@@dominickbenincasa5043 I experienced the feeling the Scots must instill in the enemy. I, as a Company Sergeant Major of the - now sadly disbanded Royal Danish Marines Regt, were sent to "reinforce" the Scots during a NATO maneuvre in the mid 70s, and the orders given were simple: "Feex Baj'nets", "Banners Up", and the Flags rose above to low morning mist. Then - "Drums", and the typical sound of the Scottish drums started up - one at the time. Then the Order "Kill the Barstids" - and the chage started. When we came to the "enemy" positions, they were empty - the opponents wisely chose NOT to face the attack!
I´m 73 years old now, and since long retired, but I SHALL NEVER FORGET!!
@@argdanskgreat story - thank you for your service 🇩🇰❤ I’m a Scottish army brat from a huge military family; my dad was a Colour Sergeant in the Royal Scots, my mum was a Sergeant in the Women’s Royal Army Corps, my brother is a Regimental Sergeant Major in the Army Air Corps, one uncle is a Royal Marine, the other is in the SAS, and a cousin is Military Police (not me though, I do nails 😆)
Our country is so small, with an even smaller population and historically, we were under attack near constantly lol. Due to the centuries of war and oppression, when our culture was literally against the law (no speaking Gaelic etc. and crucially, banned from owning proper weapons) *I think this is how we got our reputation for bravery and ferocity, and they’re skills we still use today* . “The most dangerous man is one with nothing to lose”. There were battles centuries ago where we mobilised at the last minute, and had no access to real weapons. The enemy thought we couldn’t fight without swords, right? Well, we fought with blacksmith tools, rocks and logs lol. We’ve _always_ been outmanned and outgunned, so we have to give it everything we’ve got on the battlefield, show no fear and no holding back, while also playing smarter 😜

@@TallulahFoxxx Thank you for your comment - there is nothing like the pride and joy of people, who love their country and are prepared to fight for their land, people and traditions - I salute you all with pride and joy in my heart. ♥
It was my biggest dreams to hear them on person and i did in Edinburgh 2023 june few days after my birthday 🩵, i just ran from the train station to the upcoming sounds🩵 it was magical 🇮🇶🏴
You gotta love Scotland and her people!!
Thank you! Hello from Auld Reekie Edinburgh! Long may your lum reek!
My mom, daughter and I were recently vacationing in Scotland and attended the Tattoo. My mom was excited about going. Me, not so much. I thought it was going to be boring. I couldn't have been more wrong. I was astounded! We had fantastic seats up front and center. I wish I'd taken my camera with me but we were afraid it was going to rain. The rain clouds blew off, and the weather was perfect.
At the end of the day extremely hard working dedicated talented people. Thank you all.
I just found this performance on You Tube. It was from the 2013 Edinburgh Military Tattoo. THAT IS THE MONTH AND YEAR WE VISITED SCOTLAND AND ATTENDED A PERFORMANCE OF THE TATTOO at Edinburgh Castle. One of the best events I ever attended.
My lord I could watch and listen to these guys every day of my life
Absolutely on my bucket list. From a US Marine.

I hope you will go soon. Thanks for your service.
My dad turns 90 in May but may not make it. I’ve arranged for a piper to come and play some tunes for dad. Some of his family will be there. We’ll be outside on a hill overlooking the bay. The nursing home asked if I wanted it in their hall with the other residents but I wanted this for just dad. Any other time I wouldn’t care. They’ll hear it anyway. Let the wind be in his face and the pipes fill his ears. Love you dad❤️
some ppl hate pipes but i find them mesmerising and just love them LOUD ;)
I’m so proud when I see someone from my country did this great work, Royal Guard of Oman 🇴🇲.
I'm Scottish and lived in Oman when I was a child and remember seeing the Omani pipers play at Muscat! Lovely country, great people.❤
I'm Scottish, spent 2 years at SOAF Thumrait. Great country and people.

My maternal ancestors are from Scotland and I have been to Edinburgh during the summer of 1984; very nice city and I want to go back to definitely see this being performed!
Although I was not born in Scotland......but my mom was and feel proud and mom always me remind our heritage .....proud Scottish
Gorgeous Scotland ! 🇫🇷🏴
I am an exiled Scot and I was able to go and see this in 2013. What a wonderful night it was and I bought the DVD. I took 3 Russians with me and the look on their faces to see Edinburgh and the Castle. They were astounded with all of it. Even they said they could feel "something" when they heard the skirl of the pipes. Nothing else comes close to this.
hmmm even they .. could feel .... i just find it amusing i dunno why
Hello from Croatia, a beatiful country on the Adriatic sea (south Europe). We like to call her "small peace of paradise".
But something totally strange happens every time I hear this music.
Ever since I can remember, I feel strong love of Scottish bagpipes, as if I was there many times (and I have never been, though I want it badly ). It is so strange to feel such a deep connection with a country I've never visited !
Past life . . . ????
Never mind, all that matters is this unique and simply irresistable music.
Greetings to all bagpipes music lovers!
I'm a Canadian I'm a decedent of the clan Cameron of lochelan I myself am a Cameron of erracht (senior cadet )( the ones that do the raiding) I'm getting kilt and bagpipes just because I discovered about my heritage after playing mount and blade and I discovered I love bagpipes
Lucky you Samuel! Greetings from Croatia.
Alba gu bràth!
There is nothing more majestic than the sound of drums and bag pipes. If I had to go into battle for one last stand, I would want these guys leading me in. All the people who commented on the feeling of chills.........they were right. Powerful! Puts tears in my eyes and makes me want to be an honorary Scot.
More, more, more!!! Europe needs this, such!!!! You need these! Frenetic! :)

I love the music of the pipes, gives me goose bumps every time. Brings tears to the eyes. Thansk from a USA female fan.
Bloody beautiful. Could you imagine being a soldier listening to these piping bastards march towards you? Terrifyingly beautiful. From Canada with love.
War Cries are much more intimidating.
@@calebmayfield8474 Nothing beats the sound of pipes on the battlefield. They have turned the tide of battle. Many a piper has won the VC.
When I was a kid in Canada pipes and drums were more common, sadly they seem to have disappeared
This pipe music and pipers are worth finding a place in the
CORE OF anyone's
HEART - JSS.
Am close to shed tears of joy when I hear the pipes and drums. My favorite is the Highland Cathedral.
This is one of the greatest and most inspiring entertainment spectacles on Earth. Absolutely brilliant.
I was lucky enough to attend the festival a few years ago and I still get chills.
Once in a lifetime unforgettable event.
Romans: Let's go to conquer rest of Britannia.
Hearing war drums and pipes...
Romans: Ok, let's just build a wall.
I Love Scotland! Greetings from Germany!
As an American, I find this just amazing 🤩
Could listen to this a thousand times over
My heart will always be in Scotland!! 🏴🏴
You have to be heartless if you don't understand and get the chills with the greatness and the valour of the Scots through all their history encased in this brilliant and moving performance!!!!! Scotland the Great! Always! Love from Mexico City
I'm not Scottish, but this brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. Amazing grace!
Goosebump central or what ! Pipes and drums, played badly, is enough to send a man insane. But when played by experts, as here, it brings a tear to the eye. I'm lucky enough to live within half an hour of Edinburgh, and have been to the Tattoo many times over the years. This video is great, but to see and hear the whole thing live is unbelievable. If you ever get the opportunity take it, it'll be one of the best nights of your life :-)
This goes great with beer at 0300.
I'm a 61 year old (black) American women who always thought I was Scottish in another life.l have always loved the country and culture. I went to tattoo myself once a long time ago and it was something I have never forgotten.
I loved the video especially when I saw a black bagpipe player,no matter the color Scotland Forver!
God Bless you!
From Glasgow Scotland!
My Dad took my Brother and I to the Tattoo in the early Eighties and it was out of this world. Sadly I lost them both to Alzheimer's in the last two years. I hope to return next year in their honour and I know they will both be at my side in spirit.
