Don't worry I am South African and feel just as proud of the Scottish.

@Talorc MacAllan Aye! My non extisting scottish- filipino blood is now in sync!

me 2

I am of Scottish descent and own several kilts and everything and feel MORE Scottish watching this. :) It's normal when you hear the pipes and drums

Me too and I am Swedish😂😘

Every single time. My hair stand attention for the entirety of the song.

With a name like "Douglas" it's almost required

Me too.

I didn't know anyone hated bagpipes :)

Me neither

If you feel Scottish, you are Scottish. That's the way it works here. ❤️ from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Scottish used to play the bagpipes at war because they would say it stirs the blood. Definitely does stir the blood.

They say there is a little Scottish in everyone… I think it’s true.

​@@NotGreigfrom what I've heard about the ex wife's new ginger boyfriend it's about what I've heard as well. And no, we got divorced 13 years ago so the 'wee' man is just a joke to me, one I pity.

​@@user-xd5pr4qd4z You talk some amount of Shite for the one guy.

what about the organ

@@albanborici8093 a very close second

What did you say? I can't hear you!

The only instrument to be classified as a weapon.

The organ? 😑

I'm not Scottish but I think the pipes are for everybody. Carlos Nuñez is a famous piper from Spain who plays the gaitas. Pipes are everywhere.

Youve got some scots blood in you somewhere down the line and in your heart! Scotland Forever!

Si tienes algo de gallego , pues hasta eres pariente lejano, como quien dice

You are brother 🇪🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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.

Well, THIS is the reason for being proud as a Scottish (Even if you're not)

Sorry about your loss 🙏🙏🙏🌻🌻🌻💜

correct lol weve done nothing but were beutiful lol

I am Colombian and I am PROUD OF SCOTLAND BECAUSE IT'S A SOUL OF A HUMAN LAND: THE LAND OF MANKIND.

If you knew what comes in haggis , you may change your mind.

Sorry for your loss, i hope you and your family are ok.🙏

I'm so sorry for your loss. Those are beautiful songs. May he rest in peace.

You're Father is an honorary Scotsman. May he always rest in peace.

I'm an Englishman who served in the Scots guards and those are the two pipe tunes I want playing at my funeral too.

Greatest respect

May he rest in peace.

RIP

RIP

I hope you're coping a little better after a year or so. Losing your dad is such an awful thing, I'm sure you and your family miss him very much. I'm sure he was a good man and I'm sorry for your loss.

If you want a treat type "The Battle of Waterloo - Charge of the British Heavy Cavalry" in youtube search xD

as they are proud to be allied to the Marines,God bless America

Scottish!! Learn the difference!!!

I'm also a U.S. Marine that had the privilege and honor to fight alonside the Royal Marines in Afghanistan. There is nothing like waking up in a war zone to the sound of bagpipes and drums.

Scottish! you need a history lesson, its an insult to Scotland and their men to call them British when they were forced through generations of oppression to be part of England, If you respect them then at least have enough respect to refer to them as Scottish, GHB are Irish/Scottish in origin not british or English, that would be like me calling you a Mexican just because Mexico sits in the America's...

If you ever get the chance, come see the Edinburgh Tattoo live 😂🙌🏻💖 as I commented elsewhere, you fully appreciate it’s a war instrument when you’re in its vicinity! It vibrates the ground and air, so that it’s like standing an inch from a concert speaker! The enemy would feel us marching and the vibrations from the pipes from miles away 😝 If it were me, I’d turn around and RUN 😂💖🙌🏻

@@TallulahFoxxx 001 p 1q

go on son

PLAY IT LOUD

Or you will turn tail and run

well bagpipes where considered weapons of war up until the mid 90s or something like that.

I am a piper as well

Imagine hearing the drums from 3:37 in the dead of night. Silence, then suddenly… HOLY SH*T!!

Apparently the first to land on D-Day (the light glider infantry who successfully took Pegasus Bridge) knew they were about to be relieved because Lord Lovat wandered up the road with a lone piper in tow.

If you would have stayed neutral you wouldn´t have to have a "liberator".....

As a 28 year old proud Scotsman this comment this put tears in my eyes, proud of my history proud of my country

Frankish Empire dumbass, Holland was neutral but got invaded by Germany in 1940.

@@frankishempire2322 oh dear me lighten up mate they was saying thank you 🙄😕

A very large proportion of Canadians is of scottish descent . They were important in the liberation of Holland .

From a Scotsman living in England I love the best England has to offer as well as the Welsh and the Irish. It's a pity more people can't recognise what's good about what the others have to offer instead of focussing on the stereotypes and mistakes of history.

Mike Fergus RIGHT ON MA MAN

Mike Fergus Ireland isn't part of the United Kingdom.

Errr.........I don't think I said it was? You are right of course and well done for pointing it out. Not sure why you did but hey, you are right and if that makes you feel good, good on you!

Mike Fergus What does Wales has to offer?

Fr

Imagine… in the dead of night… you have no idea where the enemy is. Then you start hearing the drums at 3:35 getting closer from all directions.

@@dominickbenincasa5043 I experienced the feeling the Scots must instill in the enemy. I, as a Company Sergeant Major of the - now sadly disbanded Royal Danish Marines Regt, were sent to "reinforce" the Scots during a NATO maneuvre in the mid 70s, and the orders given were simple: "Feex Baj'nets", "Banners Up", and the Flags rose above to low morning mist. Then - "Drums", and the typical sound of the Scottish drums started up - one at the time. Then the Order "Kill the Barstids" - and the chage started. When we came to the "enemy" positions, they were empty - the opponents wisely chose NOT to face the attack! I´m 73 years old now, and since long retired, but I SHALL NEVER FORGET!!

No Mate Thank You !

Scottish folk played a large part here in America as well, not many of their efforts recognized. As an elderly American with strong Scottish heritage, it makes my blood sing as well, brings a tear to my eyes whenever I hear the pipes and drums. Beannacht Dé ort! God's blessing on you!

wouldn't it stir down to the pommel?

I’m Italian and Scottish I always thought I was Irish but it’s really Scottish when I found out, maybe that’s why I get chills when I hear bagpipes !

I served...I hope my ancestors are proud

Except the crowd trying to clap

Not a veteran, but when I was young my grandfather (who served in the RAF in WWII) took me to a performance like this. Pipes and drums. Highland dancers. The band had veterans of the Falklands war among them. It was incredible. Something inside me said "this is the music of my people."

Proud to be an Ulster/Scot 🥰

I had the honor to take pipe lessons with a ex-dragoon guard. Even as a civilian it's so impressive. 🎉

Agreed. The pipes and drums makes my hair stand attention for the entirety of the song. Its in our genes.

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.

God Bless those men! From Glasgow Scotland.

My first encounter with Scottish people was in Nova Scotia where we stopped at a farm to check out some milk cans outside. My wife wanted a couple to decorate. The farmer would not accept our money and gave us two. He later took us into his home to show us his hunting trophies one of which he bagged in his front yard. Entering Nova Scotia there was a Scottish piper welcoming us. Years later we visited Scotland and went to a pub in Inverness and partook of the Haggis after a Ceremony where I asked for more. It was delicious! From that day I thought of myself as a Scot loving their people, their pipes, their food and their traditions. My last name being Thomas I found there was a Campbell clan in Northern Germany where my father was born which reinforced my feelings for the Scots. Now living in Oregon I go to the Highland Games each year for sport, tradition and Cornish pies. incidentally my son, Stephen was born on Robert Burns birthday. "Scotland the Brave" is my favorite number on the pipes and it truly represents them.

They are true friends of ours

Of course, she's the epitome of German-ness. With a Scottish mother, her home in Scotland, her faith the Church of Scotland. Not that I don't think that James II/VII wasn't wrongfully deposed for an absurd reason, but it's hard to call her majesty German.

michael wills yes, but I'm not disputing that her ancestors came from Hanover. Nor do i dispute that some royals were nazi sympathizers. But the Queen was driving army trucks while London was being bombed. And the royals kept Edward VIII in exile for his actions. Oh, and the Nazis blew her London home to smithereens. But totally pro German. Picts came from the continent. Should we brand Scots not native people of Britain because of their foreign ancestors? Are Scots responsible for the poverty and suffering of the French people because they were the bodyguards for the French monarchs? Because Scots have Norman blood because of good old King David, are they responsible for the Norman Invasions of Ireland? Oh, and let's not forget the kicker, that a great portion of lowland Scots people - myself included - who descend from Northumbrian Anglo-Saxon settlement. I've never identified with Germans/Nazis, but I'm interested in hearing about your theory for Nazi identity because of that Saxon blood. Your argument is absurd. Everyone has origins somewhere else, and it doesn't invalidate their identity.

Elizabeth Chapman Likewise. ♥️

I am Scottish but for some reason I just couldn't make oot why there all wearin leapord skin torsos

@@aw7544 To show that their regiment fought in the African Wars.

Of course!! You don't realise how vital the drones are to a good bagpipe sound until you play without them.

I'm a Canadian I'm a decedent of the clan Cameron of lochelan I myself am a Cameron of erracht (senior cadet )( the ones that do the raiding) I'm getting kilt and bagpipes just because I discovered about my heritage after playing mount and blade and I discovered I love bagpipes

Lucky you Samuel! Greetings from Croatia. Alba gu bràth!

buh truth is truth

The Grapevine Well lol we didn’t invent them, the Persians or something like that did, but that doesn’t matter. We sure love our pipes!

@@reddyshreddy5050 We did invent those Bagpipes Highland Bagpipes which are different to ever other bagpipe.

@@Artur-hg1qg that’s like saying you invented the bow because you used fletching. We have an interesting culture where we have great instruments like the pipes but it’s pretty hard to say: “we were the first people to ever make a pipe like instrument”. There are similar variants across Europe of the instrument but at the end of the day it doesn’t matter if we were the first, we can still enjoy our culture and our music.

ENTENTE CORDIALE from SCOTLAND

wit ye talking about this is how scottish people actually are. we don't eat haggis we don't listen to bagpipes all the time only on occasions like the military tattoo or at weddings or funerals and scottish people are not nice were polite not nice we all hate our lives and we hate you too so don't get comfortable with us and as for what we do, do we eat donner kebabs and hoagies we listen to dj badboy or someone else and our culture is actually one of a lot of hate, bigotry and violence there isn't a increased amount of chance to be a victim of violence in a scottish city but if you are its more likely to be especially violent and our traditions are pretty old though but we only really do them on special occasions or national holidays like rabbie burns night or funerals or weddings

dee tan that's really nice to hear!!! Always welcome!

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

What a mad lad

The piper in question was in fact, Colonel, the Lord Lovat’s personal piper of Number 4 Commando, 1st Special Service Brigade, & his name was Piper Bill Millin, who had then also landed together with Lovat & his Commandos on the ‘Queen-Red Sector’ Of ‘Sword Beach’ at Ouistreham, Normandy on 06th June 1944 - D-Day. Lovat, Millin & the Commandos then marched some 10 km inland to relieve the Paratroopers of D Company, the 6th Airborne Division, who had been the first Allied soldiers dropped into Normandy in the early hours of the 6th June & were commanded by Major John Howard, & who were then holding two bridges that they were assigned to capture from the Germans. During this March, Millin continued playing his pipes while doing so until they finally linked up with the Paras at the two bridges. The Paras, who had seized & were holding two bridges over both the Orne River at Bénouville (Later named “Pegasus Bridge after the emblem of the British Airborne Divisions) & another one at nearby Longueville over the adjacent Orne-Caen Canal (Afterwards called “Horsa Bridge” to commemorate the name of the glider vehicle that the Paras then had used in this operation), in order to prevent German Armoured & Infantry units’ counter attacks from easterly directions on the exposed & vulnerable flanks Of British & Canadian Forces then coming off Sword & Juno Beaches & moving inland from there. Later, according to reports from captured Waffen-SS & Wehrmacht prisoners during the fighting, Millin had lived a “charmed existence”, as the Germans were apparently convinced that he was completely mad & had actually nicknamed him, “Der Verrueckte Dudelsackpfeifer” (The Mad Bagpiper!) & basically left him alone, as he (Millin) was obviously unarmed & to their way of thinking, also short of something in the head!!
