Don't ever give up these wonderful traditions! So wonderful to see! It gave me goose bumps!

[@altblechasyl_cs2093]

This would be more better with a lot of arabs in between. That will give new nice exotic traditions too. 😂

[@torinoherrera]

Did ballet start 🤔 in this dance 🕺?

[@michaeljungen2966]

Absolutely great job. Looking into the proud faces of the dancers - grateful and wonderful at the same time. Looking at Germany today, I´m jealous somehow! And now "Scotland the Brave" - Oh my god I love it ... that´s the true Europe. Even the Asian girls present scottish pride

[@jarodchronister3522]

I may be biased, but the moment you put pipes and drums to anything, it instantly becomes spectacular. Stay true to your traditions lest they be lost to the sands of time.

[@Rzr543]

Outstanding job. Keep your traditions alive forever.

[@lorrifrench4460]

Spectacular . Thank you for sharing this wonderful ceremony . Love this bagpipes , and instruments as they perform and March . God bless them all . 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 much love from the 🇺🇸❤

The happiness on their faces makes me so happy, keep being proud of your traditions !

[@benjaminkswong3592]

You will never see a group of people intergrating to the Highlands - we know which group. Preserve and defend these great traditions ..

[@paul0wen65]

Bloody well done! Makes me proud of my heritage. Thank you for sharing this!

[@lesterjohnston8888]

Such a fantastic display keep up the training for the young ones

[@Jabberwok28]

I have seen some of these kids when their schools marched in the NYC Tartan Parade of the last few years. Good on ‘em.

[@altblechasyl_cs2093]

Das ist bald alles vorbei. UK hat fertig. Schau dich da um, Turbane überall. Die haben mit sowas nix am Hut. Da kommen überall Minarette hin und dann pipt da nur noch der Muzzin.

[@surferbob9419]

Great job to all of them. Proud to have Scottish blood.

[@jakeleo4518]

Is this scotish version of Ballet?

[@Bena-boo]

​@@jakeleo4518No. It has nothing to do with ballet. It's highland dancing. And it's not as easy as a person might think.

[@katespear1233]

Excellent!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤

[@damirmrvicin5980]

Greetings and respect from Croatia.

[@franklarkin5946]

Loved it. - must be that Campbell, MacDougal, McDonald, McKinnon, blood running amuck. 🇨🇦

[@helenjackson1666]

Awesome ❤

[@TheRideBo]

I always get emotional from Pipes & Drums. Love it. Greetings from Holland.

[@dondamon443]

I think this so beautiful. I got the opportunity in 1986 to visit Edinburgh Castle and also some of the surrounding areas of Scotland. I might even have Scottish blood in my family tree. The dancing was incredible and beautiful. The Pipes and Drum Outstanding. Maybe, go back some day.

[@tribalenergydj8245]

That's it.. The boys fight and the girls do a wee dance... The way it should be!

[@johnarnold2029]

They're so young....but so talented !

[@jamescbliss2225]

Very well done lassies

[@kek3908]

Wild

[@chrismair8161]

The Scottish agreed to "Terms" not retreat. Still a thorn in the side but a comfortable one when needed. Who better to send than the Highlanders? The only men to wear a skirt into battle blowing into a sheep's stomach. Ey?

[@roo1234]

A kilt is not a skirt, a great highland bagpipe’s bag has never been made of a sheep’s stomach it is made of a sheep’s skin similar to leather. Beating the retreat is a military ceremony to recall patrolling units to their fortifications.

[@mbrocky]

Perfect! So Young but just Perfect

[@achdumeinenase]

danke

[@romankhomyak9166]

👍👍👍❤🥰

[@jspee1965]

Looks like there is a very significant expansion of seating at the Castle underway from the looks..

[@Tourist1967]

For the annual Tattoo. It goes up for the duration, then taken down again.

[@Viking-yu4ny]

Красиво!

[@senka2578]

My Scottish/Irish heritage is the one I feel the most connection to. I am proud to be a McAllister. I am pleased to be stubborn, fierce and quirky. One day I will set foot upon the land of my ancestors. Until then, stay true and bold!

[@mbrocky]

Sehr schön 🥰

[@pegarrecio5644]

Alba go bragh !

[@JoycePhyllis-py8mj]

I know that a Tattoo is a ceremony. Could you explain a Tattoo in more detail?

[@spentacle]

Search "military tattoo" in Wikipedia.

[@richardfish8379]

how much does a bag piper make/

[@jakeleo4518]

Is this scotish version of Ballet?

[@anndenovan9026]

No

[@angloaust1575]

The end of the empire after ww2 A slow retreat east of suez And giving up of colonies Yet falklands 1982 slowed The process!

[@ziemowitoleksy4137]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ polska was pozdrawia serdecznie. Brawo .

[@TurfSurf]

Watching an Asian girl doing the traditional dance is wild, it’s very cool!!!

[@KevinW.Jenner]

So... they retreated, were beaten... and now proudly, they dance?

[@Catmumma8765]

And you watched it!!!!!

[@KevinW.Jenner]

@Catmumma8765 Truly, a stunning presentation yet still... A more spectacular example of Scot dignity I know to be very few. The English man in me is beside himself with German insistence, to wit any opportunity to partake of more are by this experience requirement.

[@stefanfrank4043]

Will be soon performed from new Citizens....

[@lizzapaolia959]

Hopefully not ghetto is not good.

[@IphigeniaAtAulis]

Not trying to offend anybody, but isn't dancing around the swords usually a men's dance? I don't know that much about Scottish culture, so any insight would be appreciated. Also, it looks like the dancers are all girls and all the bagpipers are all boys. Is this the case and is it intended to be that way or is that just how it worked out?

[@penultimateh766]

Nice to see the Asian cadets in there. Everybody's homeland together.

[@georose7067]

WTF

[@shoshinsamurai7901]

look here... all the AC valhalla NPCs are here

[@andrewb.9815]

Cultural acceptance is what is important. Not what you look like. The un-enlightened would say otherwise.

[@wp5471]

Wspaniała tradycja . A tradycyjnie bez majtek ???

[@canuckiwi2]

Nice to see an Asian Scottish lass.

[@chuckthompson4610]

White girls performing traditional dances in white countries, as the God's intended. Keep our countries pure and our traditions alive.

[@user-jy6bi2us2g]

В РФ это называется Юнармия . Готовят народ к войне ,через всякие "традиции" и национализм.

[@bersagliere30]

Bravissimi

[@GromaticiAeternus]

very nice of them to allow the asian girl in blue to join but maybe not for long after she goofed with the sword

[@dcgravity7822]

Asian piper and cadet also. Wonder from which clan they originated.

[@timmcmullen5]

I think it is nice that she joined in to celebrate Scottish Culture and help keep it alive. Seeing how so many immigrants, come to your country and HATE it. They don't want to be part of the family. They are they to conquer and destroy Scotland and UK in general.

[@williamschlosser77]

Membership by color chart leads to lower standards everytime.

[@timmcmullen5]

@@williamschlosser77 Asians are usually not the ones that need the standards lowered for them if you know what I mean. Here in the U.S. they are very much discriminated against in Med Schools and Law School. having to score hundreds of points higher than other minorities to get in. The left doesn't like them.
