@@arthurmiskelly857 lol you might be close with the thistle. the first st patricks day parade was held in boston in by the charitable irish society in 1737. it was started with presbyterian/protestant ulster scots.it was jist a walk to the local taver after their meetings. then the british military fifes and drum were adopted. the later irish catholics were allowed to join in 1804. the later st patricks day in new york .they would walk to the local tavern called the.....crown and thistle. then the now americans adopted the scottish bagpipe tradition. there was an earlier scottish society in boston formed in 1657.
The only part of the uniforms that are Irish are the green white orange of the Hackles on the headdress, the rest of the uniforms are from Scottish and British Army pipe bands. Hope they celebrate St Andrews Day with the same enthusiasism, I enjoyed the piping and a great parade though👍
@gerardbaez4817........the original thin red line was a scottish regiment the argyll and sutherland highlanders who held of a russian attack in crimea in 1854.
@@nmatthew7469 have actually researched that nonsense......scotland does not mean land o the irish. it's a tale adapted by irish monks to create an identity for ireland. it has.....never been and never will be taught in scottish schools. anybody can research that nonsense.
The SCOTTISH HIGHLAND PIPES? Surely an Irish man would play Brian Boru pipes. ie two drones/keyed chanter and not dress like pseudo Scotsman. The piping isn't that great.
@@nmatthew7469 lol......maybe you should do a bit research on that and come back with your findings. you cannot make a statement and have nothing to back it up. it's an infantile tale .
