Oh dear I was there as a boy 1974 or 5 Never liked guns and s fort but a well drilled band still makes m legs moving Keep it stirring Mr Marley and me Salve
As an Englishman..Still well up when hear the pipes & drums. Stayed in the witchery hotel under where they pass. Would be magnificent to stay there & look out of window as they march pass
Bloody hell, at 6:16 back in the Noughties I was 30 yards further in front, listening to a cavalryman explain to a horse-riding lady about the Army's arrangements for leasing horses from civilians. As a big fat civilian marshmallow I find that regimental pipes and drums like this bring on the red mist and a desire to take on the enemy with a bayonet!
Imagine you are snug in defenence in the 19th century. And you start to hear the bag pipes, slowly at first. And they keep their slow advance until the sound is LOUD! I tell you i would not have wanted to wash my breeches after that!
The exit of the Scots is always an event. Power, strength, strong spirit and solemnity! In the Russian army, Scottish officers were historically highly prized. Among them are famous generals. Greetings from Moscow!
@@deanrichardson134 Scotland is smaller than most US states, with a pop. of around 5M. But we have the most beautiful country on earth. why not go on a visit, on here, and see Scotland as she is.
The Black Bear March is the traditional call back to barracks for all soldiers off base for the night. It is the piper’s equivalent of the Last Post, and hopefully it will be played at my own funeral after Highland Cathedral.
My daughter walked down the aisle to Highland Cathedral played on the pipes. It was lovely to hear. Quite magical. This was in Scotland a few years ago.
It is indeed the "Return to barracks" tune, but actually "Flowers of the Forest" (Traditionally played by the lone piper on the battlements) is the piper equivalent of the Last Post. And what we hear on this clip is actually a medley, a mix of "Scotland the Brave" and "The Black Bear", which, again traditionally is played by the band of the pipes and drums as they (always the last to leave) leave the arena and set off down Castle Hill. What a shame the clip of the magnificent moment the pipes and drums come down Castle Hill is spoiled by some boorish comments by nearby spectators
The whole Edinburgh atmosphere, throughout the August fringe festival, is almost as magical as an evening performance at the tattoo. Only problems, though, are the ridiculously high accommodation charges. Throughout August, the Travel lodge in Central Edinburgh, is over £200 a night, without breakfast, and it doesn't matter when you book, accommodation during the tattoo is frightfully expensive. Best answer, is to use a coaching tour, where accommodation, food and hard to obtain tattoo tickets are included.
@@peterlewis3540 Thank you for that information. This is on my bucket list of things to see in my lifetime. I appreciate the tips on how to go about it.
massed bands kiltie style -just a hell of a buzz.largest ive ever played in was 1993 trans tasman pipeband champs here in Christchurch NZ.43 pipebands on the paddock -yup a wall of sound!.me -ex tenor /bas drummer ,wife piper tenor drummer late FILbass drummer ,bro in law piper and last but not least one of our daughters was a side drummer. always loved pipebands so good reason to marry into a family completely involved!
What a magnificent sound.Lot of Americans this year. It's one this listening to a video but when you're there the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.❤
Desde España, qué bonitooo!!! Realmente digno de ver!!!(Es muy similar a los nuestros,x eso nos gusta tanto). Los sones de las preciosas gaitas y esos bellísimos uniformes= lo mejor del desfile!! En Galicia, los nuestros, vestían un uniforme muy similar!!
I can never hear "The Black Bear" without remembering "The General Danced at Dawn" and "The McAuslan Chronicles" esp the story with McAuslan guarding Edinburgh Castle
😊Why does it sound like the people who are in the tattoo shout when they are marching in the tattoo going down the royal mile and then to go back to the barracks and I love the tattoo and it doesn't matter when they have to shout then they go away for a rest in their beds for the remainder of the night and to be honest I think it's a big difference between the tattoo and the this is why they have a big amount of energy and they have a good job to do that for us thanks for the tattoo and hope too see it in telly
What a spectacular event to be honest with you and the pipes and the drums are the best way to get the same as the other people who can be there for the tattoo and the pipes and the drums at the tattoo and the tattoo is a great idea to see the event full of fun and I love it when it comes to the tattoo Richard McGeechan
Can someone please explain the first two thirds of this video with the younger folks, as well as all those different cultures from africa and the orient, etc? Fascinating! God bless Scotland, and all the world _(in that order!_ ;-) )
Dropped into the Ensign Ewart at the top of the Mile for a pint a few decades ago and at closing time, the police locked us in for the march off. It was terrible! I had to have another 2 pints before the polis let us leave 😱

There is nothing more ridiculous than some twat waffling on about immigrants yet can't use the English language, supposedly its mother tongue, correctly.
Aye - Retreat to Quaters it may be but - should you be unlucky enough to hear it in Batlle it means only ane of twa things ... (1) You are aboot to be relieved or (2) You are aboot to die
