When I married my lovely wife in 1996 my brother organized the Drum Major and Pipe Major of the RSDG to play in the church for us. I had no idea and it immediately brought a tear to my eyes. I was not expecting this in a German church!!! This tune always brings a tear and reminds me of how splendid this life and the world around us is!!!
From Canada. I visited the cathedral 2 months ago because I loved this video so much. I sat in the corner where the piper plays at the end and i watched the video…great moment. Beautiful cathedral❤
Can I ask if you visited the Memorial for the 16 innocent children and their teacher who were sadly shot in the Dunblane Massacre by a evil gunman?..I will never forget the day this terrible tragedy numbed Scotland.. RIP to the little ones and their brave teacher. 🙏
I attended the funeral of a very dear friend yesterday I was a passenger in the car of the deceased lady on our way to the cemetery the driver played this music it was so beautiful. I looked over to the front of the car & saw it was Highland Cathedral he told me it's on you tube. It's absolutely beautiful. Thank you Aidan Davis I've listened to it several times today
Havent seen this video since i was 4 years old i was obsessed with it 😄 i watched it that much i joined a pipeband at 5 played in a top of the grade band until 19 and im 21 now watching this again just makes you remember why you started 💙
Such an impressive production. It made the hairs on my neck bristle. Thank you. I just love this piece of music even though I always end up with tears.
Sir Rod Stewart once sang 'And the swirling pipes, how they make a grown man cry'. That sums this version superbly:from the single pipes and drum, to the mass the addition and entrance of the rest of the band, the other instruments, the crescendo and the tempo, and simply the filming and framing of it- all in an historical and well known cathedral. Perfection. My goosebumps have goosebumps.
This is my favourite version. I chose this recording for our entry at our wedding last summer, causing most of our guests to melt away. Best wishes from Dresden. 🖖
I have told my children that when the time comes, this is the version I want at my funeral...failure to comply, and I will haunt their scrawny arses forever...
