"The Atholl Highlanders" & "The Steamboats" - The Black Watch [4K/UHD]

This is the tunes "The Atholl Highlanders" and "The Steamboats" being played in Edinburgh's famous Royal Mile by 3-SCOTS Pipes and Drums aka The Black Watch
It is shot in 4K and the codec here is HEVC H265 using the "4K" template, so really high big-rate - should look excellent on those 65" 4K TVs!

[@thomasroberts1004]

There are pipe and drum bands and then there is The Black Watch. Sends shivers everytime. Hope to see matching down the Royal Mile in February 2024 when my wife and I visit Edinburgh. Tom Roberts US Navy Chief Petty Officer (Ret)

[@kampfoppa9961]

I worked for the British Forces Germany from 1998-2014 until they withdrew in 2014 and am proud to have been accepted to serve there. This time shaped me in terms of the deployments of all armed forces. I also learned to love bagpipes and drums there 😛

[@jehadeid3264]

This is absolutely mesmerizing.

[@essxm22]

There are pipe bands then there are army pipe bands. These guys are terrific

[@Alendavant]

The Atholl highlanders, is one of my favorite tunes, but certainly my favorite army.

I'm just going by what the Pipe Sergeant told me!

[@NkOSound]

MAGIC !

[@s.leemccauley7302]

Even just marching like this, it probably wouldn't be prudent to get between them and whatever they are going . At least that is how it appears to me.

[@davidtrotter7422]

Fantastic, thanks.

[@ramonaringel6563]

Wow thats Simplex exquisit ! 👍

[@brucebartup6161]

The sequence 1.05 to 1.20 :the pipes seem to be in two part harmony. I'm used to drones.. This is different. I'm not aware of any other performance of this tune or any other bagpipe tune which has this property. Can anyone tell me why?. yours a very lowland Englishman. the effect can also be heard at .2.18 to 2.36

[@Fungal-up6yl]

The back watch was the 42nd regiment of foot right?

[@plok_er130]

In the British army, yes. But there was and still is a Blackwatch in Canada and in colonies where Scottish immigrants settled

[@Fergus-Collington]

Pipers and drummers' hats are called feather bonnets, and made from ostrich feathers.

[@flaggemusablopp4346]

I love it,great

[@NuicaYT_]

song at the end plz?

[@brucebartup6161]

the song at the end is called the green hills of tyrol There was a soldier, a Scottish soldier Who wandered far away And soldiered far away There was none bolder With good broad shoulder He'd fought in many a fray And fought and won He'd seen the glory He'd told the story Of battles glorious and deeds victorious But now he's sighing His heart is crying To leave those green hills of Tyrol Because those green hills are not highland hills Or the island hills They're not my land's hills And, fair as these green foreign hills may be They are not the hills of home And now this soldier, this Scottish soldier Who wandered far away And soldiered far away Sees leaves are falling And death is calling And he will fade away in that far land He called his piper, his trusty piper And bade him sound a lay a pibroch sad to play Upon a hillside, a Scottish hillside Not on those green hills of Tyrol Because those green hills are not highland hills Or the island hills They're not my land's hills And, fair as these green foreign hills may be They are not the hills of home And now this soldier, this Scottish soldier Will wander far no more and soldier far no more And on a hillside, a Scottish hillside You'll see a piper play his soldier home He's seen the glory, he's told his story Of battles glorious and deeds victorious The bugles cease now, he is at peace now Far from those green hills of Tyrol Because those green hills are not highland hills Or the island hills They're not my land's hills And, fair as these green foreign hills may be They are not the hills of home Because those green hills are not highland hills Or the island hills They're not my land's hills And, fair as these green foreign hills may be They are not the hills of home Source: LyricFind

The Scots refused to fight their German brothers in world War I. I'll never forget this. Long live the Scottish people! Be free under our christian Almighty God and our Christ Iesos!

[@Kaiserbill99]

Is that right? It is estimated that 150,000 Scots, of the approximately 600,000 that were mobilised, gave their lives fighting for the British army in World War 1.

[@ClusterVisionMach2]

@@Kaiserbill99 Well, google delivered following link with search term: scottish dead in world war I : www.google.de/search?client=opera&q=scottish+dead+in+wolrd+war+I&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 and I was wrong. Scots fought Germans. But men errs. Our Heavenly Father never.

I guess the English are allowing you to play the bagpipes again after they banned them back in about 1750.

[@DieFlabbergast]

Bollocks. "In 1746, after the forces loyal to the Hanoverian government had defeated the Jacobites in the Battle of Culloden, King George II attempted to assimilate the Highlands into Great Britain by weakening Gaelic culture and the Scottish clan system,[5] though the oft-repeated claim that the Act of Proscription 1746 banned the Highland bagpipes is not substantiated by the text itself, nor by any record of any prosecutions under this act for playing or owning bagpipes. However, the loss of the clan chief's power and patronage and widespread emigration did contribute to its decline. It was soon realised that Highlanders made excellent troops and a number of regiments were raised from the Highlands over the second half of the eighteenth century. Although the early history of pipers within these regiments is not well documented, there is evidence that these regiments had pipers at an early stage and there are numerous accounts of pipers playing into battle during the 19th century, a practice which continued into World War I when it was abandoned after the early battles, due to the high casualty rate."

[@uselesseater1584]

One rear rank piper started off properly but was out of step at the end. This is disappointing from a professional soldier.
