[@alisoncrawford6809]

My dad, Peter MacDonald from the Isle of Skye is the Drum Major in the front row, 2nd from left. We are very proud of him. Thanks for sharing.

[@pamelatillery2841]

We were there, it's amazing, thank him for us 💜

[@janethadley9162]

I live in south africa love watching these pipers and drummers their great tell your dad super smart but ask him one thing why is the pipes major signals to the left and they turn right where as the brass turn the way the drum major indicates thank him and all those wonderful pipers

[@martinanderson4721]

Many soldiers from the Isle of Skye served in Highland Regiments in the Napoleonic Wars, and WW1 and WW2, and , still serve. We have pride in the Clans, Septs and Regiments of the Highlands, and Lowlands.

[@christianmeise4394]

I am comes from Germany and I Love this music from the pipes and drumms and I Love Scottland. Your dad have a wounderful Job in this Tattoo and " du musst sehr stolz auf ihn sein" Sorry are not founds the words in english

[@boudreaux1]

Nothing comes close to the majesty of massed pipes and drums.

[@thirdonetoo1212]

Excellent. Thanks so much for posting this. There’s nothing like bagpipes to stir the heart. On my first trip to Scotland, my mother’s homeland, I sat in the gardens below Edinburgh Castle at dusk and wept as I listened to a lone piper playing up in the castle grounds. That was many years ago and it’s still one of my top favourite memories.

[@jackgibsxxx0750]

Read (not watch) the Outlander books. Outstanding read. All 9 (??) of the "big ones" and all of the smaller ones. One of only a few series of books I ever re-read.

[@alicie649]

I feel the same, lived it up there, but also, even on YT

[@jocarter2848]

I am proud of them all and I don't know any one of them. I would be bursting with pride of a relative of mine was among them. So please thank your dad Alison and give him a big hug from me. I dread to think how many hour preparation of the uniform must take but I think it is the most romantic uniform in the world and appreciate all the hard work. Thank you. X

[@annedwyer797]

Watching the Massed Pipes and Drums at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in person might become a "bucket list" item!

[@gram247]

We were there on August 14, 2022 in the pouring rain. The seats were packed, & the performance was flawless! I can’t wait to go back again!

[@chrisgardiner4688]

Even though I was in the audience I could watch this over and over again. Love the pipes and drums and it was a magnificent performance!

[@raadbaraadi848]

I'm from the Arab Aden.. It's music that speaks to the soul. It fascinates me.. Authentic music found from the wonderful mountains and forests of Scotland and resonates from the hearts of the wonderful Scots.

[@AV-fo5de]

Thank you for the lovely thought. Scotland and us Scots will make you very welcome should you visit.

[@janetross8601]

Absolutely fantastic this is the very best of Scotland you'll ever hear,I just love the pipes and drums makes you so proud to be Scottish,mostly when I hear them I have a tear in my eye's,it's just the most beautiful sound ever...❤❤❤

[@1blondidea]

@janetross8601, a few years ago while doing research on my mother's paternal family, I learned I/we are of Scotish highlands descent!!! I was blown away, and teary-eyed!! All my life, when I have heard the pipes being played, something deep inside stirred. I never knew why. Now I know!! I am sooo very proud of my Scotish highlands descent!!

all the performers are so fantastic and the marching out at the end but before that they march a few times around the esplanade great event more please richard

[@tim7052]

Truly there's something about the pipes and drums that simply rouses the blood whenever they're played!! IMHO there's nothing more magnificent than highlanders standing in defiance, and in defence, of their ground!!.........well, maybe with the exception of the Gurkhas!! (And my genuine respects to both!!) 👍

[@AV-fo5de]

The Scots and the Gurkhas have a lot in common -deep love for their countries, pride in their military prowess and bravery against their enemies.

[@eggpoutine]

Woah! That is a very large group! Having them so well choreographed is an achieveme t in itself!

I know your band well. We attended many of the Sac area games and danced Scottish Country. There is nothing like the Tattoo. I attended in Edinburgh castle back in 1983 and have never forgotten the power and pride of the music and the people.

[@candidwatcher5408]

Это великолепно! Я служил в Советской Армии, но ценю и уважаю всех настоящих воинов. Ваши традиции, музыка, форма, стиль марша вызывают у меня уважение и восхищение. Будет хорошо, если всё военное противостояние в мире будет состоять лишь в сравнении этих прекрасных традиций. Я был на войне, но с возрастом приходит осознание того, что Бог не создал нас для того, чтобы убивать друг друга. Всем желаю добра и мирного неба над головой.

🙂 Извини, я просто не понял. Показалось, к чему эти черепа с костями и кулаки в виде ударов? 😄 Я служил в гвардейской танковой дивизии под Киевом в 1986-1988. Мой отец воевал во WWII в 1943-1945 сначала в Европе против Германии, а потом на Дальнем Востоке против Японии. Был пилотом ночного бомбардировщика. В Европе встречался с американскими лётчиками. Очень хорошо о них отзывался. Да и к немцам не испытывал после войны никаких негативных чувств. Хотя и был со своим самолётом сбит немцами и ранен в бою. Уважение даже к противнику, честь и человечность - качества настоящего воина ❤

Yes, do it, it's fab and touching. Plus, when the performance has ended, all the performers go down Castle Hill at about 10.30 and you can see them again, from very close and playing music. I was there every evening of my stay in Edinburgh. I queued early to have the best view. It made the tatoo last longer for me
