Machine gunners swap rifles for instruments at special Beating Retreat

The opening song, "Highland Cathedral," is the song that got me into Scottish music. I listen to it when I want to calm down or get back to basics. It's a wonderful song.

It's great they keep the bugles alive. I´m from Belgium and I play the bugle. Got a lot of historical instruments from between 1905 and the sixties.

The one pet peeve is when they say “phase one recruits” they look at us and we’re in phase two about to pass out 😅 still great to be in the video though

British bagpipers use reverse airflow blowpipe that they suck on for more natural sound.

When I hear the music I feel like I am 30 years old not 80.but right now the army should not play the retreat but the charge in this time of troubles.

Its origin is to call-in sentries, not to retreat from battle
