THE STORY OF BAGPIPE TUNE 'AMAZING GRACE'-ROYAL SCOTS DRAGOON GUARDS EDINBURGH CASTLE 50th BIRTHDAY!

[@glenlivingstonegl]

I get chills every time i hear it played 🥰

[@franklinwerren7684]

This is the tune that got me interested in piping 50 years ago. I am still piping today and Amazing Grace is my favorite tune I play.

[@JohnRodriguesPhotographer]

My God father's dad was Scottish bag pipes and all. He taught me to love the pipes. Amazing Grace always brings me to tears. He taught the kids on Fort Fix New Jersey 1960-61 to march to Scotland the Brave, my favorite. God bless him and keep him

[@scottmacpherson2352]

I'm a Canadian cape Breton Island Nova Scotia....very proud of my Scottish heritage I cry when I hear the pipes

[@michaelreynolds3592]

Pride. Don't care what country you're from. Pure pride

[@inspiringtone2975]

Scotland forever. Never leaves your DNA no matter how many centuries away from your homeland Scotland. I am a white Scottish woman whose family have lived in America for over 320 years. But we always knew where we came from even though God saw fit for us to live outside our homeland.

[@ranganathanrajagopal3036]

EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT A SCOTTISH I COULD FEEL THE SPIRIT OF BEING A SCOT

[@elizabethashby2673]

MY GRANDMOTHER'S FAVORITE HYMN!!! THANK YOU 4 SHARING SOME HISTORY!!!

[@markgradwell4987]

My Dads and mine, so emotional to hear it, spiritually.

[@lynetteewhitelyn3246]

Hearing mass pipes and drums in Martin Place Sydney in 1979 was to know joy and tears beyond anything I’d ever experienced.

[@sandragarner3913]

My family has been in the USA since the 1600’s and I was constantly told be proud of where we came from. One of my grandmother used to say was “ through your shoulders like you

[@sandragarner3913]

Throw your shoulders back like you have corn to sale” If you had extra corn to sell you were rich. I was amazed when I got to go visit Scotland in 2009 and as we were going up into the highlands I knew why our people settled in Kentucky, Ky

[@paulsaintclair9761]

Amazing Grace .... belongs to Scotland

[@barrymcmanmon9595]

It was written by an Englishman.

[@billy1673]

By the way, the origin of the song is from an English sailor and poet, John Newton in 1772. He was serving on a slave ship when it got caught in a terrible storm off the coast of Ireland. It was so bad, he called out to God for mercy. After he survived, he became a devout Christian.

[@elizabethsheffield6609]

..........what a lovely story telling us of the history of "AMAZING GRACE".............thank you so much xx

[@heidemariejark-berndt7097]

Its great and amazing I love the pipes, drums, tartans and the proud of the Scots

[@runeulriksen]

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing one of the pipers who was involved in the recording, the late Peter Wood Elder, who would later on become Pipemajor of the pipes and drums of the Royal Tank Regiment. When he retired from the army, he moved to Denmark and founded The Clan Rose pipes and drums, who I’m pleased to say still exist.

[@scottishpiper7063]

From nz. I love your music and its beautiful. right now im learning how to play the bagpipe.

[@john5406]

A Scot is a Scot even unto a hundred generations....

[@jacobkeppler1984]

Amazing grace is a Beautiful song

[@ronlemons5316]

For the Scottish ancestry to be in your blood, as you get older and wiser you come to the realization that it is indeed in your DNA. You can actually feel it. When you hear the old Scottish music and the ancient stories you can see it, from those centuries ago. You were there. It's almost like a reincarnation that you feel and see. You could call it " spooky ", but in a good way.

[@ranganathanrajagopal3036]

OMG WELL SAID

[@annastorchi2394]

Che suono meraviglioso hanno le cornamuse. Le vostre bande i vostri vestiti di ogni Clan diverso mi affascinano da sempre. Che bella deve essere la Scozia ♥️♥️♥️

[@elizabethleiva3953]

Que hermoso. Me emociona las gaitas sobre todo en Escocia. Algún día, algún día.,....

[@isabelledavis2981]

I wish I could hear 👂 amazing grace being played live

[@johnritchie4801]

Learn to play the Bagpipes and then you will have the priviledge of listening to yourself playing Amazing Amazing grace. I did. I also gained the ability to play other tunes

[@isabelledavis2981]

I would love to hear 👂 amazing grace by dragoon guards live in concert 🎶

[@gittabanks6258]

I will be there next week and have tickets. Beyond excited!!

[@lancedeatherage3819]

I am English at Welsh Irish and Scottish but the Scottish draws me home

[@ecysmith6652]

These remarkably talented musicians only add majesty to one of the most moving hymns ever composed. One can feel the presence of supreme forgiveness, deliverance, and hope of salvation in Jesus Christ when it is performed . I always shed tears of awe and joy when I hear Amazing Grace.

[@SumantBarooah]

Thank you✌✌✌✌✌

Mercie pour la vidéo qui fait plaisir le Sont des cornemuse Puis Grand Mercie à vous

[@iii9266]

One of my favs.

[@joelahnstein2281]

First heard it on DMZ of ROK on a record of a colleague. Stayed with me. The best was at the 88 Edinburgh Tatoo. Still tear up every time.

[@billy1673]

No, I’m not crying! You’re crying!

[@markgradwell4987]

Amazing Grace by The Massed Pipes And Drums gets you emotionally, especially when the Drums come in lifting the sound of the whole piece. When i hear it i get emotional, it Physically shakes you. I'm 55 it's the only hymn/ Psalm that gets to me.

[@24327355]

As one who served in the Scot's D'Gs for 14 yrs and lived a lot of that time between the Pipes & Drums block and the Mil Band block in Senne....You do miss the music which was always their but not noticing it at the time ( how lucky were we ?)...P/S Highland Cathedrals the tops...yours Ecky...

The rock-simplest tune there is on the pipes. There's just one single spot where you have to watch out not to make a crossing noise. Might make a good set with "It Is Well With My Soul."

[@w.reidripley1968]

A/k/a "when peace like a river " after its first line. (Not "Peace like a River.")

[@catherinehodge7624]

I'd love to hear this hymn played on the bagpipes backed by the tenors on steel pans it would be mind blowing. Just saying.

[@paztabana3075]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😍

[@philclarke1389]

Would have been a better DVD if they had shown both Bands playing as they were in the 70s. There was hardly a mention of the Military band,without who there wouldn't have been AG because the score was arranged by the then BM Mr Fairbairn.

[@armyinscotland9529]

Hello Phil. Sadly, there wasn't any video around of the original recordings that we were able to access. It was hard enough to find the 2002 content. But thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@petronopulas]

Stuart Fairburn now lives in Perth Western Australia. My Wife and I attended the same Church. A pity the Brigadier only briefly mentioned “ Fairburn” instead of Bandmaster Stuart Fairburn who arranged the tune for Military Band and Pipes. Unfortunately when the recording took place, Stuart had been transferred to a new Band but he is acknowledged as the person who did the arrangement.

[@philclarke1389]

@@petronopulas As an ex member of the Mil Band on the original recording (English member i have to add) i am extremely proud to have been involved in what was a groundshaking experience,esp for the British Army bands. I don't think you could quantify the reactions throughout the Military when it happened. Iv'e been searching all over the world for the last 40 odd years for original videos of the concerts,photographs,posters etc. Iv'e written to the BBC,ITV for all the TV shows we did, all the concert venues in Australia,New Zealand, France, Germany, Scandanavian countries,UK countries etc etc but it seems all recordings were deleted for whatever reasons(probably "storage"problems(no Memory Sticks then)Guess memories are all we have now.

Strange that he picked the 1996 tattoo because that year the SCOTS DG's performed the Gael , theme from the film Last of the Mohicans, with the SA Zulu police dancers. The tune spread all over the world as a bagpipe composition thanks to that performance. As for Amazing Grace, it didn't mean much as it had become such a standard by then the luster had worn off.

[@brendonwilhelmi_7251]

I have seen your comments previously. My father was born in Scotland and loved watching the tattoo every year. Since his suicide in 98 I have also watched it every year here in Aus . It is a Christmas tradition. My dad hung himself on Anzac Day after I had marched in the local RSL Anzac parade . The bagpipes were played and still are by the Perth Highland band. The sound is deeply haunting and stirring. I feel them in my bones. I would love to see my ancestors land. Thankyou for keeping an ancient culture alive. Can you say what years or performance you were in at all. Carmen C

As I often tell people, if you don’t like “Amazing Grace” do not learn to play the bagpipe.
