My grandfather was a Gordon Highlander in WW1 - wounded in action. Served again in WW2. Very proud!

[@stewartjackson5483]

2 great uncles were Gordon's, one died 25th September 1915 at loos, the other 2nd march 1916 at Ypres.

I grew up in America; never really exposed to much bagpipe music. But whenever I do hear it, something stirs in the guts...in the heart. I think it's in my genes.

[@SonofPerson]

Had this played at my Fathers funeral 2 years ago along with Amazing Grace. He loved the pipes, as i do. Still makes me cry

[@jimsmith3931]

Always been one of my favourite pieces. I don't find P&D's as stirring as a lot of people do on here, I find the pipes rather melancholy and thus beautiful in their own way. This is a nice piece to settle down to a good bit GF and Dry, and just mellow out to. Beautiful piece, absolutely beautiful.

[@Christloves888]

I am an American Irish, Polish, Lithuanian, Native American Indian, English and Pennsylvanian Dutch. I love all kinds of music! I have always loved to hear the sound of the Bagpipes! I would love to go to Ireland one day! The Clean Green Coast! Some of my family members have visited. I live near New York City. Our greedy men here have destroyed the waters up here. It drives the Native American Indian blood in me crazy, and sad. Pray for our country. I will pray for you, your friends, family members, and your countries as well! We aren't doing too well right now. But God is good! Happy St. Patrick's Day coming up! Stay safe! Jesus I trust in You!

Miroslav Demajo not sure how you work that out. Because kilts are pleated and made of wool, they cannot be washed. They last so many years because they are not washed.

[@argononeya7080]

Sadly I can't say I have any lineage that would connect me to anything that a bag pipe stands for .I'm being honest to a pint that as someone who's HAIR NECK STANDS Straight UP WHEN I HEAR THE PIPES .could be anything really .I find that the notes of a pipe are something I have lived since I was kid I used to listen to my own recordings of anything that had bagpipes I love the solo piper and drummer the best When I hear the pipes and drums I feel I can move a mountain by myself This may sound stupid to others But I don't care In my lowest ,and my highest moments in life The bag pipes made me feel as if I can do more ,and I don't care what anyone says This is some motivating shit and I'll stand by that until I die .Dint care what any one says There is a reason certain hymns can't be played by law it makes ya wanna crush the opposition ,or stand without fear in any situation For me the pipes hold that power Call me whatever I'm actually a grateful listener nothing more

In the American military Taps is played like in the British Army like the Last Post which is fitting for fallen comrades in battle and to be reminded every night as the last bugle notes to the end of the day. When the Battle is Over is a great tribute to the soldiers that I personally knew that were killed in battle as personal close friends. I give tribute to them by drinking my whiskey and pour may last drops into their graves that one day I shall join them in the Halls of Vallhala when the time comes. I shall see my Dad, Uncles, Brothers, and Comrades.
