    My grandfather told me that his home town, Tilburg in the Netherlands, was liberated by the Scottish. The first thing they heard in November 1944 was a bagpipes in the far distance a very soft humming sound that came nearer. He told me that everybody went outside to see where the sound was coming from. There the Scottish arrived to officially liberate the city. My grandfather always held very dear memories to the Scots who liberated him, his family, his community, the city where I live. We're still very grateful and associate the bagpipes with liberation and freedom.

    I‘m German and the Scottish culture has a special place in my heart, I love the kilts, the bagpipes, the Highland Games and the scenery. It is all so incredibly beautiful. Hats off to all the Scottish lads who keep that wonderful tradition alive and appreciate their culture in such a wonderful way.

She said that she doesn't like the sound and I play this video for her and I get goose bumps every time and the tears just run down my old man's cheeks. Apart from German Christmas songs as a child, nothing touches me as much as the sound of the bagpipes. Now she also says that it gets under her skin.

      @Talorc MacAllan , here is something that might give you a laugh. My daughter was doing research on our ancestors and came across the song, " MY BONNIE LIES OVER THE OCEAN." Now if this song was about Prince Charles Edward Stewart, why would it say, " My Bonnie lies over the ocean."
      He was exiled in Italy... NOW HERE IS THE FUNNY PART...
      My daughter suspects that the song is about one of our ancestors... One who was here in Kentucky by 1750', (Walter Stewart) and others came in the 1780's or the 1790's.I'm not so sure about this meaning of the song. Is it possible that they had "code songs"? Then again there's the ship captain named Cameron that supposedly snuck out Prince Charles Edward Stewarts son as a baby claiming the baby as his.
      IF you have any information on this it would be really interesting to find out the truth on the song. And to see if my daughter was right.She was before, in grade school, she said that Prince William and Prince Harry was cousins. Diana is a direct descendant of Mary Queen of Scots.

    I have just read this my late Dad was one of the pipers who liberated Tilburg he was Pipe Sgt Harry Forbes of the Highland Light Infantry (HLI ) he made many friends there and returned every year to play his pipes in the annual parade He loved the Dutch people and they loved him. I have visited Tilburg on a number of occasions and was in fact on a motorcycle tour of Scotland and watched this display on the day it happened. Great story thanks .

      @s H Scotland is one of the most highly patriotic and nationalistic countries I know of, the fact you have brought Sinn Fein into this shows you have underlying grievances you'r not telling us. The SNP's main goal is to restore Scottish sovereignty and promote Scottish culture, they have reorganised the Scottish education system so children are taught proper Scots history and not rubbish like the tudors, normans, King Arthur, etc which is taught elsewhere in the UK. Everywhere you go now there is Gaelic on road signs, on police, fire and ambulance vehicles - this is the SNP pushing this.
