At the 2018 Homecoming parade through Glasgow, this is 2 SCOTS The Royal Highland Fusiliers marching on the colours then parading the streets of Glasgow.
Just love these guys the fusiller who looks like the swamp monster should stand in the middle of the night and let the pipes wail I tell you the bravest person would run a mile on hearing and seeing him but I just can't get enough of the pipes well done guys may God be with you every day
There's something about a good parade. The uniforms, bagpipes. I too was in the military and always felt that sense of pride marching down the street or wherever!
I don't mean to any one's party, but I see comments about discipline, standing like statues. I guess you have never seen any of the discipline displayed by our military members in formation. Discipline runs deep in every army around the world. It is the very foundation of the branches of the military. It is taught along with team work from day one in boot camp. With that being said, if you want to see discipline, trust, team work in action, watch the U. S. Marine Silent Drill Team. During their entire program not a word is spoken. Yet every movement is crisp, precise, without a word being spoke from one transition to another. God bless those that defend our country.
2 SCOTS The Royal Highland Fusiliers is an infantry battalion, not a ceremonial unit. If you want to compare them to the US Marines, compare them to 1 of the Marine infantry battalions, not to the Silent Drill Team.
@@echopapacharlie I based my post on what other posts were about. Everyone was talking about how stoic they were being, how disciplined they were. The use of the Marine Corp Silent Drill team was an example of discipline, trust and team work. As for 2 Scots being an infantry unit, I was well aware of that. But we can compare them to the British 1st Greadier Infantry Regiment. The most senior Infantry Regiment in the British Army. We could compare them to the British Parachute Regiment, or the British Rifles. Maybe the French Foreign Legion, or the Gurkhas of India. In the U. S., there is the 82nd Airborne Division. 101st Airborne Division which is no longer Airborne but are now Air Assault. As for the Marines, 2nd Batt 5th Marine Raiders. Then there is the fact that members of the Silent Drill Team are chosen from Marine Corp Infantry units.
What happened to the Scottish Battalion after the march off? The camera man or woman forgot about the soldiers, and focussed only on the band. Robert Wilson, (McRae Clan) RNZIR Veteran. New Zealand.
Most impressive. Many civvies watching this will think that this is all the bandsmen do but see the medals on their chests. That tells you that these are combat soldiers, similar to the Guards regiments and Household Cavalry that do the honour guards at Buckingham Palace and the other royal residences throughout the country. That is why they should be respected, they are not toy soldiers.
Pipes and drums..part of my Scottish heritage. Sadly my pop who was born in Scotland had the surname of Smith…..a massive disappointment to me for all of my life.🥺🥺🥺🥺
@@TheInfidel_SlavaUA Always thought it was a dodgy relative in my past . They stayed in the Derby Staffordshire area after marching South with Bonny Prince Charlie .
Respect for 2 Scotts figthers, but i rather would hear the pipes and drums of 3 Scotts playing. Brass and pipes match badly together playing this Scottish tunes.
Scotland the Brave should never be played by a Brass Band. Furthermore their rendition of this proud anthem was pretty poor with many missing notes and deviations from the original melody.
Hmmmmm.....Charles, Charles, Charles....that might be a valid criticism if, in fact, they were playing Scotland the Brave. I think you'll find it's a medley of 'The Atholl Highlanders" and 'Campbell Town Loch"! Embarasssssssing!!
@@jasonnorval1301 you may want to not be quite so smug. The band played Scotland the Brave at the halt when the Colours where marched on. Then the band and the Pipes and Drums played Atholl Highlanders on the March. I think you owe Charles an apology.
