Does anyone else get goosebumps and the hair on the back of their neck standing up when they hear this? So haunting, so beautiful. I'm an old guy but just for fun I have a wake boat with an awesome stereo and I love to play this as I cruise down the lake to my fishing spot. Lol, I'm sure everyone thinks I am crazy.

"They fought like warrior poets...
They fought like Scotsmen,
And won their freedom!"

[scottlippert]

Scotland has some beautiful landscapes.

They used to walk over no mans land playing this beautiful instrument, leading men into battle, i often wonder wether it was bullets or the pipes that struck the most fear into the enemy! Brave men

[s.crawford]

I can't hear bagpipes without thinking of my late father. Makes me cry every time.

Rest in peace really miss you.

[Eliiithaxxor]

Im swedish but i feel patriotic for Scotland every time i hear this! SCOTLAND FOREVER!

[TrApPlAyEr]

Bagpipes are the only instrument that can stop me dead in my tracks. Such a powerful, deep, emotional instrument. Very well played!!

[bobm]

The sounds of the pipes go straight into my heart!

[donnyforeback]

I'm Irish, and this song haunts me...Every time I hear it it makes my whole body tense up and tears fall like rain.

As an American, I get chills hearing this, such pride and heritage, these sounds will have you ready to run though a brick wall.

[denden]

This is amazing. Bagpipes are one of the greatest instruments invented

[mmomj]

I'm Middle Eastern, my own parents grew up as Bedouins herding goats in the wild. Why does hearing this feels like it's taking me back to a previous life I've never lived?! Sure my parents' culture included string instruments made out of goat skin and pipes made of bones or plants, but the sounds are different. Really wish there were studies explaining this, the human mind is fascinating. And my love for Scotland is inexplicable to me!

[cornflakegirl]

I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. My grandparents were from Glasgow and this video makes me cry, it's just too beautiful.
Proud of my blood.

[martinreed]
