Here you have a Dutch conductor, with a multinational orchestra and a Scottish pipe band playing a piece of music written by two Germans in order to evoke Scotland for a German Highland games and then adopted by Scotland as one of her own anthems. This is what you create when we come together

[RetakeConstantinople]

This makes me feel patriotic for a country I’ve never been part of

Cried like a baby at the funeral of 6 of my fallen comrades in Falklands war. This was played and made me feel proud to be a Scotsman. We were in our full Highland dress at the war cemetery in the Falklands. Sent a shiver down my spine

My mom, died of Cancer today. She was 58. I have this and a few other songs I’ve been playing on repeat but this one sort of sets the tone for the mood today. I as a Police Officer hear the pipes and drums at funerals gets me sappy but this brings me a sense my momma is at peace, resting eternally. For that I am also at peace. Smiling while typing this with lots of tears knowing my mom would also very much approve of this. Thank you for this beautiful song.

My four children and I carried my husband, their father, shoulder high to this on his final journey. He was just 52. My beloved children were only 23, just 22, just 20 and 18. I am so proud of them.

I am a disabled old woman but I do declare if I had the chance I’d crawl to get into one of these concerts. But although that will probably never happen I’m grateful and blessed to have heard and loved online.

[davidbennett]

I’m English and proud but this sends a shiver down my spine my spine…Thankyou Scotland❤

[stuartwardlaw]

I don’t remember how many times I’ve watched this, as a Scotsman it still knocks the stuffing out of me, such a powerful-beautiful song.

I discovered the video as a suggestion from a 49-year-old man is sitting here crying like a little nice piece of Music. 🥲🥲🥲

Ich bin immer wieder fasziniert, wie dieser Mann mit seinem Orchester einfach unvergessliche Momente schafft.

My grandmother's funeral was today. My cousin played this on the pipes and it was genuinely something of true beauty. I'm so grateful this piece exists

Had this played at a homecoming ceremony having returned form Afghanistan back in 2012. Following the church service we then marched down the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, which was packed; tourists, locals, I looked to my right and saw the All Blacks squad (they were there to play Scotland that weekend) the whole mile was rammed... just incredible. What a piece of music.

[misulsil]

It is heavenly music that calls to the soul.

As well as being played at funerals, my daughter requested this masterpiece for walking down the aisle, it was awesome. The lady on the bagpipes deserves a lot of credit after recovering from cancer.
