[@davidw.robertson448]

Isn't there a province in Spain called Galicia after the Gaels who lived there originally? They migrated to Britain then to Ireland and then to Scotland. They were also called the Scoti by the Romans. So the Scots came from Spain although their travels started even before that. As far as ethnicities go the peoples of Europe share most of the same ancestors in varying degrees. We tend to identify with one nation or another but I believe we are generally of mixed descent from all of them. You can do a DNA test and I guarantee that you will be surprised at what you discover.

All Scottish people love everyone within reason don't start but wee finish

[@patricknapier5806]

I can only imagine the thoughts of the enemies of Scotland and the UK when they rolled out the bagpipers into the fight. Let alone if anyone in today's era in a combat zone just out of the blue hearing pipes playing madly.

[@thomasfatty8776]

nowadays the bagpipers must fire 5.56mm to survive! ..... but way back in time , it was frighting the enemies 6 off! i bet my 6 on it! ...... Slava Scotland! u resisted long! ...... starting with the Roman Empire!

[@tristanbackup2536]

Haven't you heard of that one story from WWII. It scared a few germans sh*tless, they didn't know what to do with one guy having a bagpipe in hand as he was being shot at & shelled at. He had balls of uranium.

[@peterwolter9453]

Am close to shed tears of joy when I hear the pipes and drums. My favorite is the Highland Cathedral.

[@70blondeboy]

Goosebump central or what ! Pipes and drums, played badly, is enough to send a man insane. But when played by experts, as here, it brings a tear to the eye. I'm lucky enough to live within half an hour of Edinburgh, and have been to the Tattoo many times over the years. This video is great, but to see and hear the whole thing live is unbelievable. If you ever get the opportunity take it, it'll be one of the best nights of your life :-)

I am an exiled Scot and I was able to go and see this in 2013. What a wonderful night it was and I bought the DVD. I took 3 Russians with me and the look on their faces to see Edinburgh and the Castle. They were astounded with all of it. Even they said they could feel "something" when they heard the skirl of the pipes. Nothing else comes close to this.

[@dawnnite4527]

hmmm even they .. could feel .... i just find it amusing i dunno why

[@BerylSlocombe]

The best music. Ever from scotland I could listen to the bagpipes all day

[@deniseshephard3347]

When those bagpipes are played the it’s not just the sound it’s the individuals who are playing them they play them with pride and honour and commitment The pipes are beautiful and soul stiring why do people not like them The Scottish people are friendly and welcoming and their is beautiful scenery to be found I will continue to listen to these bag pipes and they are just beautiful
