When asked the question - "Why do Scots play the bagpipes on the way into battle?" the reply normally given "so the enemy knows who is coming and how long they have left to live...!"

I am in the Normandy plain following the route of my Dad with the 51st Highland Division into Germany. Listening the pipes and drums back home feels so right on this anniversary of D Day. Thank you for posting

When its your first time in Scotland you're not prepared how Edinburgh blows you away, driving through the little villages stunning. In the city. OMG just beautiful. It was very weird as soon as you see the welcome to Scotland sign. It was a massive syi of being home. , Scotland you are the best, proud to be Scottish decendant . Awe the mascot just gorgeous, those bagpipes get me everytime... amazing.

At a highland games across the pond, I was wondering how the highlands mustered against the English over and over and over. A Hamilton FD was lining up to go to the field to play. Oh, they sound good. I followed them to the arena. The bands up north were always very good.

[@MrConan89]

Nice vid. I sometimes wonder, as a musician myself who can't even read music, why the bagpipers don't need a sheet in front of their nose with the music on it, but some of the 'brass' players do.

[@Draugers_Tomb]

Well historically there is no sheet music for the pipes its was handed down through the teachings a more skillful manner if you will

[@arribaficationwineho32]

I was in a marching band and we memorized our music. I think musicians that cannot are phoning it in. I did it, so can they!

[@BA-ng9bx]

I used to play the bagpipe. Your fingers memorize it. You don't have to think about it.❤

[@jock58mill27]

That would be the black watch tartan worn by the soldiers, the pipers are wearing the royal Stewart or Cameron depending on the battalion.

It’s official Name is Government A1 Tartan, initially worn by the Black Watch Regiment then later adopted as the official tartan of the Royal Regiment of Scotland

[@dianacasey6002]

Is it my imagination or are the pipe bands getting smaller and smaller.

[@robertwillis4061]

Yes they are. Fewer boys and even few girls want to learn the pipes these days. Takes too much effort

[@MacTaorluath]

Pipe bands come in all different sizes. There is something for everyone. Piping takes a lot of effort and is a huge time commitment, but learning how to play them is worth both the effort and the time. High level competition bands have become larger over the years, in order to produce the sound that they want. It is an enormous feat for them to be able to sound like one large bagpipe. The notes and embellishments must be executed at exactly the same time through a set of several tunes. It is a capricious instrument that requires constant maintenance, but is so rewarding to be able to play. You and Robert do have a point, though. The number of pipe bands and Highland Games have dwindled over the years, at least where I live. The piping community is a dedicated one, though, so while it might be going through a lean period, I doubt that its light will be extinguished. This is a lovely video!

[@DrCrabfingers]

Congratulations to all the people watching this march who chose to record the experience on their smartphones rather than applaud and show appreciation to these guys... If I myself were marching through a town I'd hope that everyone was just looking at their phones and not actually recognising our effort. That would make me so damn happy...I love to see people living their shitty lives through social media rather than reality. What in the name name of Christ is wrong with you people? You all deserve a thump in the head to wake up.....
