"Highland Cathedral" is a popular melody for the Great Highland Bagpipe.
This melody was composed by German musicians Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb in 1982 for a Highland games held in Germany. It has been proposed as the Scottish national anthem to replace unofficial anthems "Scotland the Brave" and/or "Flower of Scotland". It has subsequently undergone various orchestrations and had lyrics added in English and in Scottish Gaelic.
The tune was the Royal Hong Kong Police Anthem under British rule which ended in 1997. It was played at a ceremonial lowering of the Governor's flag at Chris Patten's official residence, Government House in Central, on the last day of British rule. "Highland Cathedral" is Patten's favourite pipe tune, as said by himself on a BBC Asia Today programme.

This is one of the unforgettable pipe music ever heard on 30June 1997 when the last governor Christ Pattern left from the governor house.

I once heard this piece of music along Chatham High Street. My mother asked me how did I know, and showed her the piece elsewhere on RU-vid.

If the Royal Hong Kong Police still exist, i would enlist as one of them. Royal Hong Kong Police became worst 5 years after the handover and their name being change from RHKP to HKPF. The Hong Kong people need the old Police Force.

In future, may I suggest the name of Hong Kong Police become "Hong Kong Police Service" (HKPS)? It's because this team is no longer honour to have "Royal" labelled!

It’s named “Royal” as although the title is no more as the organizations have change. This song was played by this organization when it was named so and it’s to remanise of a time long past
