They got ONE THOUSAND musicians to play that perfectly in-sync, when my orchestra class of 30 couldn't handle that...

Grandpa used to blast bagpipes in his car, to announce his arrival, was awesome everytime.
"Oh I hear grandpa, still 4 blocks away, but I can hear him."

6 years in the Black Watch marched to this many times. And yet, still gets my heart strings even now, 49+ years later 👌❤️

The pipes always bring tears to my eyes. I love Scotland and I’m the proud daughter of a Scotsman.

Bagpipes are just about the only instrument that sounds better in an open field, rather then in an acoustics room. And a recording simply can't convey the true sound they produce, nor the feeling in your chest as 30 pipes ring through you

[sirtwills]

I'm not even remotely Scottish, but this gave me a true chill..

[yurekbond]

Scots, You are amazing.
Country, National, Tradition is the best.
Eleven Years I work in UK but only Scotland is FIRST.
GOD BLESS

Bagpipes might just be my most favorite instrument. I was introduced to them while I was a cadet at the Virginia Military Institute. In our ceremonial parades, we always utilized the bag pipes!

RIP William Millin who played this tune as the troops of Lord Lovat advanced on the beach at Normandy.

Can’t even imagine how this must sound ringing through the land

[patrickmccarthy]

It's beautiful to hear the drummers and pipers in great sound it stirs something in your soul

[dudefrombelgium]

This is one of the most marvelous things that i have ever seen, i'm crying.

[Chobittsu]

When you want the French to hear you all the way in Calais

[someoneelse.]

For such a small country, God bless the Scots for what they have given to the world.

[timeforthinkers]

What GLORIOUS sound AND sight. I'm all choked up! I cannot resist the pipes & drums.

[mordsythe]

I was there for this!!!!

Hearing it again brings many tears to my eyes…
You can’t get a feel for how loud that really was over the internet, lol

[Johnnythefirst]

Imagine hearing that rolling over the hills while you're guarding a castle in York.

[chefone]

everyone: thinking this is wholesome.

me: imagining facing this in battle and being scared shitless.

[wearingthearmorofgod]

[francisvanmeerbeek]

Tradition, respect, togetherness, so much needed in these days of confused minds!
