its a pity that there are so few pipers in the world to bring it out. But your videos are great, now i finally understand my tunes. im going to watch each and everyone of these.
Great Tune originally the Scottish National Anthem before Flower of Scotland was adopted and generally the first tune that most Pipers learn on transition to the Pipes from Practice Chanter. Your 100 Day Challenge is a great credit to you Neil especially your perseverance with health issues in recent days. Always excellent playing and choice of Tunes and Mini History Lessons. Please convey Many Congratulations to your Parents on their Diamond Wedding huge achievement to be highly commended ( Hope they received a Message from Her Majesty The Queen). Lang May their Lum Reek. Best Wishes to you your Family and your Mum and Dad. 🏴🏴🏴🙏
@@WootTootZoot I think you mean Flower of Scotland . Flowers of The Forrest was a Scottish Folk Tune written after Scotland’s King Jame’s the fourth’s Defeat at The Battle of Flodden in September 1513. Eventually the Words of the Poem Flowers of The Forrest were set to the tune and predominantly played by Pipers at Funerals and to commemorate loss especially in present and past conflicts. 🏴🏴🏴
@@WootTootZoot You're off on both Mr Zoot. Apart from anything else the third verse of God Save the Queen is offensive to Scots, that's partly why you won't see it here. As for the unofficial anthem being Flowers of the Forest, you are misinformed. I dion't know what makes a tune or song a national anthem, In UK and Scotland I think its just commonly adopted and accepted. Bruces' Address/Scots Wha Hae, certainly was our anthem until Flower of Scotland came along. But as far as I can make out, it's only because people said they were. You won't see GSTQ here.
I have just started the journey of transitioning from the practice chanter... and guess what tune I am playing on the practice chanter / attempting to play on the goose? I am learning the pipes at nearly 60. And loving it.
Lovley tune Neil excellent Playing on a brilliant sounding set of pipes and fantastic location and grate history lesson by your assistant and congratulations to your Mam and Dad
By far the best of this great series. Fitting tune for such a location and certainly learned something here. I wish you would have done Flowers of the Forest or something for the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
