This is a culture that needs to be cherished and protected

No disrespect to Pipers elsewhere across the world, but when we Scots put on a Massed Pipes and Drums display, we do it with Style!

When the Scot's make an entrance, they really make a entrance.

Scotland is one of those countries you love but just can't explain why? This is why....

I love Scotland and probably I'm the only italian who gain a third place in 220 yards at the Ballater Highland Games in 1972. God save the Scotland.

We don't turn up quietly. And we don't go down easily.

Keep marching proud Scotland and show the world the richness of your ancient traditions, greetings from Puebla, Mexico!!

I’m English, but boy do I love the pipes. No other sound moves me like they do.

[susanwood]

Beautiful music to my ears . . . 11 pipe bands playing in unison.

The Scotsman in me comes alive when I hear the pipes and drums!!

[kathleenjimenez]

I’m American and LOVE to watch videos of this. It is heart stirring. I must have been Scottish in a past life. ❤️❤️

Love the little lad with his tiny drum !

Scotland is great. I am biased as a Scot. Have only lived in England, Turkey and Sweden so my opinion is just that, my opinion. Visited the USA many times. I think we should cherish cultures like this because when the world turns into Starbucks shopping malls we will forget who we are and where we came from.

Magnifique ! Longue vie à l'Ecosse éternelle !

I could wake up every morning with a bagpipe parade. What a great spirit

[johnwealthy]

What a fantastic weeks holiday.... attending the games, running in the mountains and sampling some fine Whisky. And with such wonderful warm-hearted people.

[garyb]

Damn, that’s a mighty fine sight....and an even better sound
