Best Pipe Band in the World? - You decide! [4K/UHD] 

The bagpipes: No better sound if you're allies, no worse sound if you're enemies.

It's wonderful to see Scotland and it's people so proud of their history and culture. It's taken so long. God Bless us all.

Whew, that's an absolutely wondrous sounding musical instrument. Beautifully haunting and thrilling at once. Thanks for sharing it!

You are not human if you don’t have tears listening to Amazing Grace.

The country of my birth, my beloved Scotland. Canada is my country now for 41 years but Scotland and these pipes and drums will always have my heart. Amazing grace now if that don't stir the blood you can only be dead.

My heart soars whenever I hear them perform. I've said, more than once, that if I'm in a coma and they can't wake me to play the music of these pipe and drum bands as loud as they can and I'll not only wake up, I'll get up and start marching.

TEAR UP IN MY EYES WHEN EVER I HEAR OLD LAUNGE SYNE, FLOWER, MYLE CANTIARE & ALL YOUR MUSIC!👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹 MAY ALL YOUR ANCESTORS BE PROUD OF YOU ALL & GOD BLESS. STAY SAFE.💐🇬🇷

I love Scottish bagpipes band,I dont know the music makes me cry it is as just I am getting stabbed by sound .my heart melts on it .beautiful people, beautiful dress,beautiful sound. Love from Pakistan

This music goes right thru your bones. And I LOVE IT! Thank you!!

At the 2003 Edinburgh Tattoo there was a notable gap in the initial parade of the masses pipes and drums of about 10 soldiers. The MC pointed out the gap to the crowds , and then said ‘ but they flew in today from Iraq , please welcome the Black Watch.’ .. they marched in playing the pipes all dressed in desert fatigues.. there wasn’t a dry eye in the place....

In 1963 my mother (Irish) and Dad (Canadian) took me, my brother and sister to see the Black Watch at the Los Angeles Forum. I was 6 years old and it's a night seared in my memory. I still get both tears and shivers when I hear bagpipes. This clip is awesome to watch and it brings back all the magic. Thank you for posting it.

THEY WERE ALL AMAZING KEEP UP THIS TRADITION WE LOVE IT AND SO DOES THE REST OF THE WORLD WE LOVE YOU ALL TO NEVER LET THIS DIE.

Who needs pop music? This is life in musical form. Makes me smile and cry all at once. ❤️💪🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That sounds like one set of pipes. That’s really incredible!

The best sound, the pipes and drums, soul soaring stuff! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤

I am a Scot living in New Zealand.Always brings a tear to the eye to hear the pipes and drums.

Sorry all three, BRILLIANT!

THE SOUND OF BAGPIPES ALWAYS WAKES US UP WITH ITS UNUSUAL SOUNDS. A TRUE ONE OF A KIND. THE MORE THE MERRIER SIR. ❤❤❤😅

I was just a kid when the Black Watch came to my home town. That was more than 50 years ago. I have loved the pipes ever since. (and I a bloody American )

I don't care who is 'the best'. As long as they make people happy and their hearts sing when they play, that's what playing pipes does for me. 💖

God bless I'm proud of my Scottish heritage amazing grace was flawless proud great great grandson of a black watch Glasgow highlander served in ww1 brought his family to America through Ellis Island his son my great grandfather got his full American citizenship by joining the US Army sadly never got to meet him

Great Respect from The Scotsman, your in My Heart. From Bavaria in Germany 👍😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿♥️🇩🇪

Grabs you by the spine and focuses the mind. You don't know how lucky you are to have such culture.

4:00 even the heavens weep to the soulful sound of the pipes

Amazing Grace. Outstanding!! Drill and presentation excellent!

I’m Scottish, walking up the royal mile hearing bagpipes I cry tears of pride😍🥰🙏🏼

Oww Brave Scot William Walace what have you done to Scotland to be great and love all over the world the bagpipes band of your Native Land.

Its a draw, they are all magnificent.

Amazing Grace was played on the bagpipes at my great grandmothers funeral mass in 1990. Still brings a tear to my eyes when I hear it.

I weep but not with sorry or sadness but with pride and the greatest respect.

Lealtà, tradizioni e spirito di appartenenza!!! In alto i cuori!!!

I thoroughly enjoy them all just magnificent. ❤❤❤😊LK from Canada thanks

I grew up in a time with many parades and always the pipe and drums , the sound is part of me being only second generation born in the USA. Loved it so much that i told my parents at age 5 that i wanted to dance the Scottish dances. She found one and i did it for 14 years. Ballet was added after the first year. Most memories of that time are wonderful!

They’re performing in the rain. Damn right they’re the best.👏👏👏👏👏 their notes all begin spot on...no whine up. Brilliant!

This so emotional, and beautiful, thank you - bagpipes have been around for hundreds of years, yet it's always spine tingles, goosebumps and chills when we hear them, either as a lone piper, or in unison. Bagpipes to me always mean our beloved late Queen Elizabeth II - what a gem she was. So wish she was still here with us...... E❤

ALL BEAUTIFUL TO LISTEN TO AND WATCH

God bless all the Scots !!! Greetings from Portugal

That's the best " amazing grace " I've ever herd. Made me tear up a little and smile at the same time. Just perfection.

I'm English but think I must have been misplaced, love the sound of Gaelic and Celtic music especially the pipes. This was superb!!

You all are Heros and that's was the very best amazing grace ive ever heard as I wipe my EYES SUCH HEART FELT MY FELLOW BROTHERS. ...CHICAGO.IL

Yes an absolutely amazing performance and it did draw tears.

Our world hardly deserves such inspiring perfection!

My Grandfather and Grandmother came to USA Elgin, Il. I'm Proud of my heritage! I could listen to bagpipes all day long!

Been watching pipes all morning... stopped wiping tears... just let em flow

There is NO BETTER WAY to hear Amazing Grace on Gods green earth! They are all SPECTACULAR! We should all be blessed to hear and see this in person, but if we can’t this venue puts you right there for sight and sound!

The Atholl Highlanders 3 Scots 4 Scots Thanks again Jim. What a Fantastic recording; in the rain as well - the Highlanders were on point, beat, timbre, perfection - brilliant job !

AMAZING GRACE WAS MADE FOR THE PIPES AND THE PIPES WERE MADE FOR AMAZING GRACE ALL SCOTS IN THIS LIFE AND PAST THEY'RE SOULS WILL NEVER LEAVE THEIR BELOVED SCOTLAND SCOTLAND MY SOUL WEEPS FOR THE BEFORE I GO BACK TO HEAVEN I WILL RETURN TO THEE SCOTLAND AND ALL SCOTS O HOW I LOVE YOU ETERNALLY

Having heard the mass bands at the World Championships and grown up with my father Peter Burrows regularly playing the pipes they will always stir my soul

I am not Scot, but I love your music and traditions you kept over centuries so alive and thriving are great inspiration to us other European nations! All the best from Regnum Bohemiae!

Amazing Grace on the pipes always tears me up. If you want the full effect hear it at the National Fallen Firefighter Memorial ceremony in Colorado Springs, yearly in September. There are generally somewhere between 300-600 pipes there. It'll blow you away!

Nothing beats the skirrling.of the pipes. Makes my Scottish side proud.

I am honored to be McMartin first into Cameron and to be who I am...studied under John Fisher and God bless Reid Maxwell too....I will play the snare drum with honor proudly....knowing I played along with my brothers and sisters in this great tradition...long may we run...

Love watching and listening to them march. I love a man in uniform. But put him in a kilt and playing the bagpipes, I truly swoon!!

Yes I'm Canadian..PLEASE come here and show your beautiful culture..you were once apart of us!! ALL OF THIS IS BEAUTIFUL I DO NOT HAVE A FAVORITE..SORRY FOR THE CAPS..BUT I LOVE this!!!

Breath taking .I'm in tears..home .thanks to all of you .reminders of where we come from..

🇬🇧 Fantastic to hear and even better to see.

I love hearing the bagpipes 😍 Amazing to know that I've got Scottish heritage no wonder I'm drawn to the bagpipes even from a distance. Love how the Scottish people embrace there culture and history 🙏

For me, as a Dutchy, this is very impressive to see, the sound of the bagpipes in combination with the drums. Very beautiful !! Goosbumps 4 real

Großartige Bilder... Vielen Dank dafür!!! Greetings from East Germany 👍👏✌️

That last one is all power! Really stirs the soul.

ooohhh this songs make me cry. Godbless these country and their soldiers and to all nation upon nations Let LOVE binds us together as we are all God's people and children.

Real difficult to listen to Amazing Grace on pipes. Pipers led my Grandfather's casket to his final resting place. Every time I hear it played on pipes it reminds me of having to say farewell to a great Scotsman. Can't get through the song with tears. Just beautiful.

First round at the castle on point second just thrown in second started perfect.

Sometimes it's more interesting to observe the local shops, local architecture and quaint local flavor as these pipers wheeze by.

4Scots, but all are are wonderful. I am a Scot living in the US dying from Agent Orange from Vietnam. I would like be buried with my mother's kin in Scotland

ALL WERE SUPERB! MAY GOD BLESS SCOTLAND, HOME OF MANY OF MY ANCIENT RELATIVES.

I served in Berlin at the British Military Hospital. 1st Battalion Black Watch. At the same time as the 1st Battalion Kings Own Scottish Borderers were also there. Best posting of my life. Especially the Berlin military tattoo also in 1988.

Great, bring back old memories, Cape town highlanders from back in my army day's.

The Atholl Highlanders, Beautiful xx

Such a Rich and Proud history I have always loved the Pipes

As much as I admire the Black Watch as both my grandfather and uncle served in, the BEST Pipe and Drums band is the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. My old unit, and for a while led by my amazing mentor, Major Tony Crease RIP. Long live the Scots DG's!!!

For a free and independent Scotland. ,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good God In Heaven. This to a Scot is what this beautiful country of ours thrives on. Music from the pipe bands and the lovely scenery, clean pure highland fresh air, sparling waters from the heather clad hills. The famous peat water that makes our whiskey what it is. Pure and strong with the taste of our great country. The comraderies, last but not least. "The once seen never forgotten memories of our land."

So hard to pick the best one, they are all so impressive. God Bless Scotland!

Served alongside the Blackwatch in Bessbrook Mill, NI, 1986...a brilliant bunch of blokes!!

Very fun to watch. The best in world, maybe not so much. I do enjoy listening to & watching the military bands.

All three are magnificent but my choice would be the Black Watch. I saw them as a child when they toured the states in the 60s and have been a fan of theirs ever since.

They are all brilliant! nothing to judge here, all lovely stuff and a great pleasure to listen, too and to watch! No other country has this talent, they try but fail!

We have awesome Pipe Bands down here in NZ as well.Love the skirl of the pipes...

Yes.You are the best!!Bravo from USA..

I always tear up when I hear Amazing Grace played by a pipe and drum band. It is hauntingly beautiful. I have always loved bagpipe music since a child. I am not a Scot. You don’t need to be to love the music.

The Black Watch take it for their drum line alone. Those boys are sharp. The Atholl were a very, very close second. Of course Atholl was playing in the poring rain so not real an even comparison. That said I would love to see any of them here in the States.

What a grand show ,when you march too the pipes there is none better what a feeling the pipes lift you to another level.

Merci pour cette magnifique ceremonie d'hommages rendu a la Reine Elisabeth. Bzh🇲🇫

Aye, Scotland the Brave! Forever, Semper Fidelis Oorah Carry On!!

I'm an Australian and I just love the bagpipes and your accent, I wish I had Scottish blood

All the bands sound great and their dress is outstanding. Great to see such pride in/of Scotland.

I need to go to Scotland just to hear these bagpipers.. amazing grace gets me everytime😢…from the usa

Thankyou for the video it is Boss.I am from Liverpool but my grandad was a Proud Scot from Edinburgh.When I hear the bagpipes I always feel very Emotional I love them.

From America, but half Scottish…..this is incredible and gives me chills. People should learn more more about the history of their countries (e.g… Queen Mary of Scots is the person from whom the current English throne has had their descendants)

as a 48 yrs old i like the sound off the pipes but didint like them as a child i love them during my adult hood richard

My pop's family come from Scotland on my mother's side, Smith's. It gives one goosebumps watching this.

Decided every year at the World Pipe Band Championships on Glasgow Green.

The sound is incredible they sound like a recording out of a studio yes they are the best and they're Scottish they are the best

As a US Marine, we did a big exercise with the Brits in the 70's. The 42nd marched on the field playing All the Blue Bonnets. I know why the Germans called them the Ladies from Hell! Great bunch of men! Glad there on our side

All musicians gave their best.... You all are amazing! Thank you for your music 😘🤎

I really love bagpipe music , there is something in the music that moves you , all of you are magnificient, sound n look great, bravo !

This really stirs the Anglo-Scots blood in me. Love me some pipes! Thanks for treat, guys!

I was on tattoo. Such brave men the best i ever saw

Immer schön zu hören klasse.
