RAF Central Scotland Pipes & Drums parade through village to 2018 Braemar Gathering Highland Games

The Royal Air Force Central Scotland Pipes & Drums march through the village of Braemar, making their way from the Invercauld Arms Hotel to the Princess Royal & Duke of Fife Memorial Park for the 2018 Braemar Gathering Highland Games in Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The march starts to the tune "Bonnie Dundee".

[@michaelpoyntz9122]

Wow, that Band Major leading looks so majestic and he doesn't miss a beat in step ( no pun tended) . He knows and demonstrates to band following exactly what is going on. What a thrill to be able to experience this magnificent tradition and demonstration of heritage!

[@pomegranatepip2482]

As a South African I find I have no rich cultural identity, and if I could adopt one, this would be it. Scottish. It would be both an honor and a privilege to march with these gentlemen.

Many years ago when I was living in the East 80s in Manhattan, I had a temp job which required me to commute to the Upper West Side. During warm weather, instead of taking a bus across town, I would walk through Central Park. One misty morning, as I was approaching the exit I heard a piper rehearsing "Scotland the Brave," and in the dim light I fantasized that I had accidentally stumbled into "Brigadoon!" It's one of my fondest memories 4 decades later.

Some of the military and ex-service bands are all male, but most town and city bands have young performers and support the development of young pipers and drummers.

[@montsemajanmartinez9824]

If the nobility of man were reduced to one sound of one instrument, and that instrument was to be played throughout the universe to show who we are, and to make the Martians move aside, I think that it is the bagpipe that holds pride of place, and could be no other.

This is really great music the best in the world. It it was well photographed. The videos high quality. The officer with the long staff. High frequency. This particular music. military music.
