Tribal People Experience Military Bagpipes for the First Time 

Beware the men in skirts !

I worked for Royal Mail for 38 years. Two years were spent at a sorting office in West London (Hounslow). There was a great mix of races. The vast majority of us got on really well. Even down to jokes that wouldn't be acceptable today. The Sikhs were the best. They were friendly accepted life in this country. And, more importantly, when they had their festivals they would bring in food from their culture and cuisine. It was always appreciated and I made many friends amongst my Sikh colleagues.

Unlike people from certain nations...!

Bro, i'm from Derby and it does the same for me!

Yup, British military, best in the world 👍

Or help is on the way... It just depends on whether you hear the bagpipes behind you, or in front of you. Behind you = Good. In front of you = Bad.

@@AD270479 The lads are comming to sort you out. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

The " guard" is the Primary Duke in Scotland, the Duke of Hamilton.. And it's the Crown of Scotland..

Oh thank you, and that means NOT me 😂 I’ve ehlers-danlos syndrome (among other things like asthma) which is a condition that, among others, causes faulty/bad or no collagen in my joints so can’t do steep hills, stairs, etc... but it’s beautiful all the same (:

the royal mile, used to live near it

I was born and raised in the United States, my family originated in Scotland. We are also from Clan Gregor. My dad has traced our family tree back many generations to well before the Crossing. He started teaching my sisters and I about our heritage when we were young, and even took bagpipe lessons! We joined Clan Gregor here in Washington state. When I was pregnant with my youngest I was hospitalized for preterm labor. One night, there were pipers on TV. The TV had a speaker connected to it that laid on the bed. When I would move it from one side of me to the other, my child would roll across to be closer to the sound. It was so magical! Took him to his first Highland Games when he was about 1 year old. The pipers atarted playing far off in the distance and he sat straight up on the stroller, straining against the straps and began turning his head and looking for the pipers. My dad was so excited! For his first 5 years, he liatened to pipe music every night to go to sleep. Two years ago I bought both of my kids and myself a tiny piece of land in Scotland. They were so excited!! I love how much these individuals love the sights and sounds in this video!

Good comment, the kilt was very versatile. Not meaning to be pedantic, but they are wearing tartans, which are more than just plaids. Tartans bear family, clan or community names, some originating as early as the 3rd or 4th century. In this video they are regimental tartans, probably dating back to the early 1800s. Tartans distinctly identify the wearers as members of a particular community. Plaids are criss-cross patterns of 2 or more colours. Edit: Ok, I was probably being pedantic. Tartan has probably become common usage for plaid nowadays. I'm 73, so I remember when the difference was distinct.

@@jaygee5693 Maybe. 😀 I didn't go into it because it was too much information for this video. I don't own a kilt, but I do have some things in the modern Colquhoun tartan, one of the clans of my ancestors. A really nice jacket and some scarves. Yep, I'm pushing 67 and remember the difference. More from a Scottish American perspective.

@@rhiahlMT I watched a documentary on kilts a few years ago. Showed their evolution from a coarse woollen 'blanket-wrap" to todays tailored, pre-pleated, expensive fashion statement. I don't think I have Scottish heritage, but maybe. Surname is Gray. I've always enjoyed watching Highland games and dance, and, of course, listening to bagpipe music, all in small doses though!. Lots of Kiwis have Scottish ancestry, so the culture is quite strong here.

@@jaygee5693 Yeah, I think when you watch Jaime from Outlander pleating up that massive kilt you get an idea of how big the things were.

Fun fact: when someone says "the whole nine yards" the phrase goes back to the Scottish great kilt which was 9 yards of cloth.

😂

I believe they thought it bad luck to shoot at them.

There are more pipe bands and pipers in India and Pakistan than in Scotland/UK.

@@robbrownfield7677 And that’s probably because of the vast difference in population! Scotland is quite small in size and population when compared with India!

i was a piper, never marched though, being 7'7" meant i was relegated to twirling the drum major mace during performances

Just as I have no idea what 'their' music is like. Would love to hear it. All music is wonderful...and to be exposed just how wonderful would that be?

@@maryfehrenbach9893 hi Mary we have connected again hope you are well.

@@dianacasey6002 I spend so less time on youtube that I do have to apologize for remembering you! Would love to but just don't reconize your sign in name. My bad....

@@maryfehrenbach9893 that’s ok

and most scots dont give a fk about the royals

@@sarahbutler363 What a revelation.

@@sarahbutler363🙄 Could you please be a little more rude? And would your feelings change if they were entirely your own Scottish royalty?

Speak for yourself, duckie! 😂

The MacDonalds were never royalty, just clan chiefs and chieftains.

It contained the late Queen's Scottish crown and the man sitting with it is, I think, security..🎉

Pre Roman times there were no bagpipes in Ireland or any other part of the British Isles. The Romans brought them and these particular pipes here are military pipes, they were first introduced to the 100th Highlanders in 1796.

Ha ha good one

Aye yer razor sharp you eh 😂

Stop your bitching and moaning It’s an annual cull on North America with the bears and the British pay for them The bears are still going to be killed annually

Well it's something to do if there's nothing on the tv
