My Granpa sang this the last time I ever saw him. Sitting up in bed. Eyesight gone and near the end. He was with the Gordons at the Somme as a company runner and made it back. Bringing the MM with him for his bravery.

Gay Gordon's 😂

My Grandmother's brother was a Gordon Highlander and I loved seeing photos of him in uniform and hearing the stories. When I was young and heard this song I thought it was the official regimental one!

I can see why my name is Gordon now

What a beautiful song! Truly, the Scottish accent is absolutely beautiful

It’s weird seeing Edward and George together, just the two of them, two future kings of England with absolutely no idea of what is to come. Love Tom

My Da was a Gordon. He was from Lanarkshire, how he ended up in the Gordons is a WW2 mystery. I have his foties. He was as proud as fuck tae be a Gordon. When they took Madagascar from the Vichy French they went to Durban. The sailors were offering 5 quid to wear their kilts ashore. They were all told to fuck off. He took Burma back from the Japs. He died aged 59. He would be horrified at the state of the U.K. and would have Nicoliar tried for treason. Of that I have no doubt.

Excellent! Very patriotic song! God bless 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿!

My great grandad was proud to serve in the gordons in ww1. I would sit on his knee and listen to his stories

Look at the size of them, my Da was 5’ 6” he was a Gordon. Could fight like fuck, although he was very mild mannered. I can’t think of this song without greeting (Scots for crying), nor Waltzing Matilda, ma Maw was Matilda, ATS, manned Ack Ack batteries in Hull and Southampton. They’d be horrified at the state of the country now. They could never have afforded to stay in a 4* hotel in their lives. Now you just tip up in a lilo in Dover. Hey presto, a Novotel. Why did they fight?

I fully sympathize with you, although I am not British but Italian. The worst part of this tragedy is that most Europeans DO NOT understand that this is a continental matter and that their future as an ethnic entity and culture is at stake. We are all in the same boat and is sinking rapidly. Those wonderful Scottish young men died for nothing. The only real winners of WW2 were the bankers.

Brechin, in Angus but close to the Mearns and old Kincardineshire, was always split between pride in the Black Watch and pride in the Gordons. My Aunts in Arbroath use to sing this song when I was but 'a wee loon'... a long time ago now, but I've never forgotten it.

My dad was a Gordon highlander. 1950s fought in Korea and later was involved in Cyprus- corporal Keir F Smith from Dalkeith. Would love to hear from anyone who knew him. Maj smith(ret)

Ma da used to sing this

I used to sing this song for my grandfather; for my grandmother, I would sing "away in a manger"....my god; the early 60s, and how time flies

My family are Gordons and I learnt the lyrics near instantly

Very epic

I always had a great admiration for the Scottish people and their soldiers (fairly ironic since I am Italian 😆😆😆) I remember reading in a book dedicated to the Scottish regiments in the British army (1978) that the Gordon Highlanders won more VCs than any other Scottish regiment. Is that so? I tried a search in Google and it was bloody useless. I would appreciate any information about this. Regards.

The regiment was named after the Clan Gordon from which the majority of its original members joined. Clan is the Scottish equivalent of a 'tribe'. Clan sounding much better.

Just out of interest, was that King Edward VIII inspecting the troops at 1:35 et sequiter?
