On Saturday 26th October shoppers at the Eastgate Shopping Centre in Inverness got an "unforgettable" surprise. Watch what happened when we launched the 2013 Scottish Poppy Appeal there.
As an old soldier that was the most magnificent salute I have ever seen and heard in honour of our military. Thank you all who worked on this programme you are to be appreciated for the memories you have awakened in us all.
If the sound of the pipes and drums doesn’t raise goosebumps on your body, then you are either dead or not Scottish. Braw stuff - best country in the world. For a small country we have given the world so much - television, the telephone, ships, locomotives, engineering, steam engines,kaleidoscpoes, refrigerators, penecillin, bicycles, toasters, golf, tyres, etc etc etc
Bagpipes have always made me cry....I'm so proud of my heritage, and where my family came from...There is nothing I'd rather be, than Canadian...But....I'm still a Baird!!
thats amazing. that had to have been really hard to keep up with each other with the echo in the building. unless there were directors keeping up with each other where the pipers and drummers could all see.
Terrific and I hope it boosted takings. Pity about all the people with phones an even IPads blocking the view from everybody else. Put the phones away and enjoy the moment folks, leave the recording to professionals.
Still cry to this day at this video. then the wee man comes out with the pipes and the crying gets worse. Thinks like this make me wish I'd kept up playing the pipes!
+graeme morton You my friend, are one of the fools for judging others who have their own opinions and chose to not like this. I however did like this, but please appreciate it's not 'everyone else's thing', and that's why the dislike button exists.
The citizenry staring down upon their once proud martial heritage. A penny for casualties of our war, and let your sins be washed away. I long for the days when the drums of war MEANT something...
And yet there were people who'd rather stuff their faces and continue with their jabbering while these pipers and drummers did something to brighten the day and commemorate.
gudfella 10 I'm always hearing about how diversity is our strength and how multiculturalism enriches us. I thought maybe Inverness would want to experience the same cultural enrichment that major cities in Europe and America are experiencing.
seriously, how sad do you need to be to sit watching a video like this and count the black people?. Inverness is a very diverse community. And also, fuck off.
That's what I call national culture! Congretulations, Scotland! Hats off from Germany! We are ONE Europe! Different nations, different languages, different histories - but ONE heart!
A beautiful city. From New Zealand and Australia a wonderful tribute to your own and all those who fought and died and returned to free us from the shackles of war.
Loved it. And was very pleased to see some women Pipers as well. Would love to see more ladies picking up the pipes and carrying on the wonderful heritage.
Would like to visit Scotland someday, part of my ancestry. Problem though... my mothers maiden name is Dalrymple, and my fathers side is Dutch. Would I still be welcome?
Christ the hairs stand up on the back of my neck every time I hear the pipes start playing. Flower of Scotland and I,m not even Scottish.........actually I probably am I've been here since i was 5 .
Hate the people who were just talking in the background wish they could just stop and enjoy this beautiful moment remember those who aren’t with their family’s for Christmas
