As a Yank, I didn't learn of Runrig or Capercaillie and the entire host of other celtic-folk, rock, punk and trad folks until about 10-12 years ago. These lads are going to be among the best of them.

[@annagow8076]

That sound is so haunting and takes me back home! Although I live thousands of miles away, my heart remains scottish❤️

[@dissol]

Same here...from the Southern tip of Africa, from the Northern tip of Mainland Scotland (Thurso).

[@queenmum698]

I'm not from Scotland personally, but my ancestors are. When I visited, my favorite place was Oban. So between seeing the sights, hearing the pipes and seeing Skerryvore and all those wonderful Scots with them, it makes me proud to have Scot blood. Wahey!!!!❤

[@danbytp]

Yup,it does fell great!

[@duncankeary6767]

Oban is my hometown 🥰

[@francoisblanc3517]

Boys, I could listen to it hundred times a day. It makes me feel better. Please, keep piping… Please do !

[@LennyBsMyLove]

Oh how I need to return to the home of my heart. I miss Scotland every day.

[@user-cz7lr8uz6e]

Managed to get this payed at a friend's wedding a few days ago. Whole place was bouncing.🎉🎉

[@craigramsay53]

There are just no words. Beyond magic. I am so homesick after seeing this. Well done lads. Saor Alba.

[@OldDunollieman]

As a Oban expat here in Iowa USA this was fantastic video, great to see OHS pipe band on here too, Mossfield hasn't changed much nor McCaigs tower. I loved every minute of it. Slainte. Scotty (Iowa) USA

[@nectafarious8842]

Soraidh Slàn does me every time. Martin G. has come up with a real rival for Flowers Of The Forest, and he and Scott play it to perfection. Just wonderful.

[@dalesmithies9051]

[@bobheiss6553]

I'm a Piper, Tenor and Bass Drummer, and a Drum Major, and I play with a Celtic Folk Band....and I confess that I've just heard of this band. They are Out-Freaking-Standing! Looking forward to seeing them in two days! Love the lighted sticks on the Drummers!

[@ipromiseyoudontknowme4499]

Oh I know ;-;, Lucky I live in Scotland, and I can look out on the gorgeous landscapes, but it just isn't the same

[@little_elkixx6668]

Yeah just wish we could go out and see what makes Scotland,Scotland but we can’t 🥺

[@annagow8076]

[@cmcc3721]

@@ipromiseyoudontknowme4499 I'm missing getting out to gaze at the grey sky and bucketing rain myself tbh. Missing a good drenching

[@OldDunollieman]

Try being a Obanite in the shithole state of Iowa USA where Covid is out of control.

[@markknopflerisnot]

[@brummie0007]

So Looking forward to seeing Skerryvore in Victoria, BC next month, hope they play this tune with the Van Isle Caledonia pipe band, should be a great gig!

[@CaravanningwiththeCoxs]

Awesome👍

[@jennifermillardX]

Fantastic X Well done to all that were involved in producing this Wonderful video X Great sounds X

[@paulinerimmer7356]

These musicians have an integrated spiritual link that I suspect they do not quite get! The interrelation of their instruments is one of the most impressive musical collectives I have ever heard of Celtic folk-rock. The start prose is and what then follows, a kindly a steer to those in busy lives' suffering work-a- day-stress.

[@MultiDiva73]

i agree im very spiritual and they give me chills listening to them im also a highlander

[@angelapeat1869]

Just been watching Live Across the World from the Clydside Distillery in Glasgow. Well done Skerryvore. Looking forward to seeing you next year FOR REAL

[@RosehillJewelry]

Great performance.

Lovely seeing Eileen Glas light house

[@TheAfricanpoofly]

Im from england but I live in Oban lol

[@Cardinal_Lucius_from_Powerwolf]

Is it a Poem?

[@nallavebaptist]

Scottish music should use the Bodhran, not drum sets.

[@craigramsay53]

Two entirely different purposes. There are tunes, styles, and arrangements in which snares, tenors, and bass drums would be out of place, just as there are those in which a bodhrán simply won't cut it. Trust me on this-- we've been doing it this way for a couple hundred years.
