My Scottish blood stirs to the sound of the pipes and drums ❤

When you heard those pipes coming over the hill it was time to run

Many an enemy fled the battlefield at the sound of the pipes approaching.

There's a channel, McJibbin? Which shows part of our late Queen's funeral procession which features the bagpipes. It is very emotional but at the same time beautiful. The Uk's last physical tribute to a wonderful woman.

Aren't they just amazing. And when war comes they put down their instruments and pick up their weapons. Bagpipes always feature in the Monarch's funeral procession, and some other royal funerals. Nobody does it like Great Britain. Also, I've seen on YT that there is an Irish bagpipe band in Mexico (I think) that celebrates some military action there many years ago?

The bagpipes were used by the Highland clans when they wanted to communicate over long distances in mountainous terrains with different tunes calling out a wedding or a funeral or a gathering of the clans or a call for war etc and was very effective

There's a cracking 3 part documentary series on Sky Arts just now 'Battle of the Pipebands' Shows you the top 3 pipe bands in th UK just now along with the Military pipebands. Gives you a lot of information regarding the practicing etc. Takes you to a Pipebag maker in Kilmarnock. Really interesting. Also the military speak about the pipers leading the soldiers into battle during WW1

My great grandad was a pipe major in the black watch in ww1, came back with a shot up shoulder so no more pipes after that. He was also a blackout warden in ww2, and after that he helped build our seafront, with one arm. Legend

looking forward to more Scottish stuff ;)

Hey guys. The bands involved in the Edinburgh Tattoo are from all over the world, shown here were bands from Africa, Ireland, Canada, America, India, the UK and, of course Scotland. It shows how the Scots have been a nation of brave, fighting, travelling men, that spread our traditions across the world. It stirs a pride that I can't describe. One love from Scotland. 💙

You might enjoy these YT vids. The Royal Marines are British and the Secret Drum Corps is from Switzerland - 'Royal Marines Corps of Drums and Top Secret Drum Corps | The Bands of HM Royal Marines' and 'Pipe Dream | Funny Percussion Duet | The Bands of HM Royal Marines'

It is not obvious on TV but there is a very significant slope on the parade ground!!

Yes and many a piper/drummer can testify to that, especially with their segg bottomed boots in the rain.

Look up Mad Jack Churchill a WW2 hero who only went into battle against the Germans with his bagpipes, a Highland broadsword and a bow and arrows of all things He said any soldier who went into battle without a broadsword was improperly dressed

Cannot beat Edinburgh Tattoo! June is Military month so lots of videos will be coming on line from all over the UK & Ireland. Soldiers 1st, then musicians. multi taskers.

It was correct in much of it , though dont know all the facts .

Although 'Braveheart' is a good action film, it is not historically correct.

England has never banned the bag pipes we have them in our parades and the Scottish military is English they are under the king
