The Massed Pipes and Drums | Edinburgh Military Tattoo - BBC 

Don't worry I am South African and feel just as proud of the Scottish.

@Talorc MacAllan Aye! My non extisting scottish- filipino blood is now in sync!

me 2

I am of Scottish descent and own several kilts and everything and feel MORE Scottish watching this. :) It's normal when you hear the pipes and drums

Me too and I am Swedish😂😘

Every single time. My hair stand attention for the entirety of the song.

With a name like "Douglas" it's almost required

Me too.

I didn't know anyone hated bagpipes :)

Me neither

If you feel Scottish, you are Scottish. That's the way it works here. ❤️ from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Scottish used to play the bagpipes at war because they would say it stirs the blood. Definitely does stir the blood.

They say there is a little Scottish in everyone… I think it’s true.

​@@NotGreigfrom what I've heard about the ex wife's new ginger boyfriend it's about what I've heard as well. And no, we got divorced 13 years ago so the 'wee' man is just a joke to me, one I pity.

​@@user-xd5pr4qd4z You talk some amount of Shite for the one guy.

what about the organ

@@albanborici8093 a very close second

What did you say? I can't hear you!

The only instrument to be classified as a weapon.

The organ? 😑

Well, THIS is the reason for being proud as a Scottish (Even if you're not)

Sorry about your loss 🙏🙏🙏🌻🌻🌻💜

correct lol weve done nothing but were beutiful lol

I am Colombian and I am PROUD OF SCOTLAND BECAUSE IT'S A SOUL OF A HUMAN LAND: THE LAND OF MANKIND.

If you knew what comes in haggis , you may change your mind.

Sorry for your loss, i hope you and your family are ok.🙏

I'm so sorry for your loss. Those are beautiful songs. May he rest in peace.

You're Father is an honorary Scotsman. May he always rest in peace.

I'm an Englishman who served in the Scots guards and those are the two pipe tunes I want playing at my funeral too.

Greatest respect

God Bless those men! From Glasgow Scotland.

I'm not Scottish but I think the pipes are for everybody. Carlos Nuñez is a famous piper from Spain who plays the gaitas. Pipes are everywhere.

Youve got some scots blood in you somewhere down the line and in your heart! Scotland Forever!

Si tienes algo de gallego , pues hasta eres pariente lejano, como quien dice

You are brother 🇪🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Isn't there a province in Spain called Galicia after the Gaels who lived there originally? They migrated to Britain then to Ireland and then to Scotland. They were also called the Scoti by the Romans. So the Scots came from Spain although their travels started even before that. As far as ethnicities go the peoples of Europe share most of the same ancestors in varying degrees. We tend to identify with one nation or another but I believe we are generally of mixed descent from all of them. You can do a DNA test and I guarantee that you will be surprised at what you discover.

If you want a treat type "The Battle of Waterloo - Charge of the British Heavy Cavalry" in youtube search xD

as they are proud to be allied to the Marines,God bless America

Scottish!! Learn the difference!!!

I'm also a U.S. Marine that had the privilege and honor to fight alonside the Royal Marines in Afghanistan. There is nothing like waking up in a war zone to the sound of bagpipes and drums.

Scottish! you need a history lesson, its an insult to Scotland and their men to call them British when they were forced through generations of oppression to be part of England, If you respect them then at least have enough respect to refer to them as Scottish, GHB are Irish/Scottish in origin not british or English, that would be like me calling you a Mexican just because Mexico sits in the America's...

Or you will turn tail and run

well bagpipes where considered weapons of war up until the mid 90s or something like that.

I am a piper as well

Imagine hearing the drums from 3:37 in the dead of night. Silence, then suddenly… HOLY SH*T!!

Apparently the first to land on D-Day (the light glider infantry who successfully took Pegasus Bridge) knew they were about to be relieved because Lord Lovat wandered up the road with a lone piper in tow.

Aye I feel this.

*punch*

It all funny and games until you hear them and the war cry’s of Scotsmen.

Im punching you and loving ya at the same time! 🥰 for ur lovely taste in music and 👊for being english but loving the scottish sound!! Coooshty

You must have a wee bit of Celt in the DNA, Owen (a fine Welsh name boyo) Lol!!

If you ever get the chance, come see the Edinburgh Tattoo live 😂🙌🏻💖 as I commented elsewhere, you fully appreciate it’s a war instrument when you’re in its vicinity! It vibrates the ground and air, so that it’s like standing an inch from a concert speaker! The enemy would feel us marching and the vibrations from the pipes from miles away 😝 If it were me, I’d turn around and RUN 😂💖🙌🏻

@@TallulahFoxxx 001 p 1q

go on son

PLAY IT LOUD

May he rest in peace.

R.I.P

RIP

RIP

I hope you're coping a little better after a year or so. Losing your dad is such an awful thing, I'm sure you and your family miss him very much. I'm sure he was a good man and I'm sorry for your loss.

If you would have stayed neutral you wouldn´t have to have a "liberator".....

As a 28 year old proud Scotsman this comment this put tears in my eyes, proud of my history proud of my country

Frankish Empire dumbass, Holland was neutral but got invaded by Germany in 1940.

@@frankishempire2322 oh dear me lighten up mate they was saying thank you 🙄😕

A very large proportion of Canadians is of scottish descent . They were important in the liberation of Holland .

I served...I hope my ancestors are proud

Except the crowd trying to clap

Not a veteran, but when I was young my grandfather (who served in the RAF in WWII) took me to a performance like this. Pipes and drums. Highland dancers. The band had veterans of the Falklands war among them. It was incredible. Something inside me said "this is the music of my people."

Proud to be an Ulster/Scot 🥰

I had the honor to take pipe lessons with a ex-dragoon guard. Even as a civilian it's so impressive. 🎉

From a Scotsman living in England I love the best England has to offer as well as the Welsh and the Irish. It's a pity more people can't recognise what's good about what the others have to offer instead of focussing on the stereotypes and mistakes of history.

Mike Fergus RIGHT ON MA MAN

Mike Fergus Ireland isn't part of the United Kingdom.

Errr.........I don't think I said it was? You are right of course and well done for pointing it out. Not sure why you did but hey, you are right and if that makes you feel good, good on you!

Mike Fergus What does Wales has to offer?

Of course!! You don't realise how vital the drones are to a good bagpipe sound until you play without them.

God Bless you! From Glasgow Scotland!

Eric Michels thank you.... From a Scotsman 💙

cana beat drums and scrill o pipes

@@robbiecampbell9831 No, you can not!

All the Best Mate!

PIPER TILL THE END! SEMPER FI!

hmmm even they .. could feel .... i just find it amusing i dunno why

Imagine… in the dead of night… you have no idea where the enemy is. Then you start hearing the drums at 3:35 getting closer from all directions.

@@dominickbenincasa5043 I experienced the feeling the Scots must instill in the enemy. I, as a Company Sergeant Major of the - now sadly disbanded Royal Danish Marines Regt, were sent to "reinforce" the Scots during a NATO maneuvre in the mid 70s, and the orders given were simple: "Feex Baj'nets", "Banners Up", and the Flags rose above to low morning mist. Then - "Drums", and the typical sound of the Scottish drums started up - one at the time. Then the Order "Kill the Barstids" - and the chage started. When we came to the "enemy" positions, they were empty - the opponents wisely chose NOT to face the attack! I´m 73 years old now, and since long retired, but I SHALL NEVER FORGET!!

⁠​⁠@@argdanskgreat story - thank you for your service 🇩🇰❤ I’m a Scottish army brat from a huge military family; my dad was a Colour Sergeant in the Royal Scots, my mum was a Sergeant in the Women’s Royal Army Corps, my brother is a Regimental Sergeant Major in the Army Air Corps, one uncle is a Royal Marine, the other is in the SAS, and a cousin is Military Police (not me though, I do nails 😆) Our country is so small, with an even smaller population and historically, we were under attack near constantly lol. Due to the centuries of war and oppression, when our culture was literally against the law (no speaking Gaelic etc. and crucially, banned from owning proper weapons) *I think this is how we got our reputation for bravery and ferocity, and they’re skills we still use today* . “The most dangerous man is one with nothing to lose”. There were battles centuries ago where we mobilised at the last minute, and had no access to real weapons. The enemy thought we couldn’t fight without swords, right? Well, we fought with blacksmith tools, rocks and logs lol. We’ve _always_ been outmanned and outgunned, so we have to give it everything we’ve got on the battlefield, show no fear and no holding back, while also playing smarter 😜 “The first to charge in battle, and the first to charge again”. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@@TallulahFoxxx Thank you for your comment - there is nothing like the pride and joy of people, who love their country and are prepared to fight for their land, people and traditions - I salute you all with pride and joy in my heart. ♥

No Mate Thank You !

Scottish folk played a large part here in America as well, not many of their efforts recognized. As an elderly American with strong Scottish heritage, it makes my blood sing as well, brings a tear to my eyes whenever I hear the pipes and drums. Beannacht Dé ort! God's blessing on you!

wouldn't it stir down to the pommel?

I’m Italian and Scottish I always thought I was Irish but it’s really Scottish when I found out, maybe that’s why I get chills when I hear bagpipes !

Stateside Scottish german and irish to irsh German blood, still stirs the blood *forehead to forehead* cousin, stay well.

You'll be welcomed back

your always welcome back

I've been 6 times and yes the chills when the mass bands come out😊

Well said

Nice

Slainte mhath.

Have you visited the old country? You won’t be disappointed

@@haruspex1-50 I have not, I'm saving to travel. My fiance has only been a few states away from Georgia and never left the ground. We both need to leave this continent

@@slowstang88native Scot here 🙋🏼‍♀️ here’s a fun fact of the day for you lol: as you know, the national motto of the USA is In God, We Trust, replacing the former one, “E Pluribus Unum” (out of many, one). Very patriotic and dignified 👏🏻 Well, you’ve also probably heard of the (mostly American) expression “f**k around and find out!!”, meaning “try me - see what happens”. Well, the national motto of Scotland hasn’t changed since it was implemented in 1578: “nemo me impune lacessit” - *no one provokes me with impunity* So basically, our ancient national motto is “f**k around and find out!” 😆👏🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Funny that your name is english/french. lol

Long live Hungary.Slainte.SAOR ALBA GU BRATH

These guys had traditions going strong before the US existed.

Me too! Those views of the bouncing bass drums made me smile every time!!

It's the celtic blood

@@KevinBhoy94 indeed it is!

I'm Scottish and lived in Oman when I was a child and remember seeing the Omani pipers play at Muscat! Lovely country, great people.❤

I'm Scottish, spent 2 years at SOAF Thumrait. Great country and people.

This Europe folk man

As are the Poles. Your gallant servicemen's contribution in WWII is not forgotten. One of the highest scoring squadrons of the Battle of Britain was the Polskie Siły Powietrzne, 303 Squadron RAF.

That's because they're defiantly beautiful. Like a beautiful maid telling her enemy to f*** off!

Agreed. The pipes and drums makes my hair stand attention for the entirety of the song. Its in our genes.

@@dannywilliams3764 😂 Is it? Nearest I got to Scotland, was shagging a gorgeous Scottish lad in the 1990s. But absolutely listening to this makes the hairs on my neck stand up

Aye I know what you mean , I just get up and jig and reel around the room it’s very therapeutic, all the best 🤝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
