  • great tune

  • So moving....

  • Just goes to show that this Scottish instrument is the finest set and most splendid out of them all.

  • As far as I'm concerned, there are two genres of music 'bagpipes' and 'non-bagpipes'.

  • Beautiful!!!

    

  • WOW what a tune this totally stirs your heart as a scottish person anybody that does not like this needs there heads looked at well done glenzboyz

  • @bigdave793 Aye it's a really popular tune for sure .... cheers !

  • Had the pleasure of being a Recy Mech attached to the Royal Scots in the First Gulf War Op Granby remember the piper playing the first Tanks off the boat what a honour to serve with this great regiment RIP long lost comrades gone but never forgotten

  • living in Manila , this takes me home on the virtual air waves

    macca Mckenzie

  • @TheMaccamckenzie Cheers......glad your enjoying :)

  • 1:44 I am pretty sure is Killin. One of my favourite places in Scotland. I remember sitting on the rocks there after hearing about the death of a dear family friend. I will always remember how peaceful the water was that day and how calming it way for me.

  • @kkkkkkkkkirsty Yeah your quite right Killin it is. It's an amazing view when the river is in spate.... but then it always looks great :)

  • Mery Xmas :D

  • One addition/correction to my previous comment: the cd I have is "Spirit of the Glen - Journey". It may only be a difference in semantics, which, like I said before, which makes it a moot point. The album I have "Highland Cathedral" on is the album of the same name. Enjoy.

  • It is beautiful scenery and the music is so appropriate for it. But, that version isn't the one from "Spirit of the Glen" cd. There is no piano in that one - unless they have re-released it. All that is really a moot point because of the splendor of both the music and scenery.

  • What a great piece of music!!!

  • Yes,sir.

  • If we get independance I want this to be the National Anthem of Scotland! :)

  • @officialcalummenzies An antherm should at least be Scottish. In my opinion anyway.

  • @gaconnochie This Piece of music may be written By Germans, But it was the SCOTS that made this track as famous as it is now.

  • @TheBlackDesign May be so but it still doesn't make it Scottish. It is at best pseudo-Scottish. Fine tune right enough but I just think if we have a new anthem then it should at least be a Scottish song. We have plenty to choose from.

  • @TheBlackDesign True, the 'Rule Britannia' anthem was actually written by two Scotsmen, yet not many people seem to mention that.

  • i am from Scotland and now i appreciate the beauty of my country, God Bless you all xx

  • This was played when my brother died returning home fromAfghanistan long live our lost our fallen British heroes!!!!!

  • @babdboi1 Sorry to hear of the loss of your brother, may he RIP.

  • @babdboi1 Sorry for your loss.

  • @babdboi1 he will live forever

  • This was one of my mums favourite tracks....we had this at her funeral 3 years ago...cannot thank you enough for this video...memories are what we hold in our hearts...god bless you! x

  • @lablondeize Your more than welcome.......glad it brings back happy memories !

  • Alba gu brath. Truly.

  • I dont like this tune I LOVE IT THIS IS WHAT SCOTLAND IS ALL ABOUT AND NOBODY BUT NOBODY CAN TAKE IT FROM US

  • @bigdave793

    WOT DO U MEN ?????????????????????

  • my grandpa lost the fight to cancer last night , he was only 66 and one of his last wishes was that this will be played on his funeral next week.

    well grandpa whatever it takes this will be played live at your funeral.

    we all love you grandpa please rest in peace now. the fight is over

    greetings to everybody who loves this music its just awesome.

  • This song makes me cry every time. This was my late grandmothers favourite song,

    my father was also in the Scots Dragoon Guards although not in the pipe band.

    Really love this song. listen to it non-stop. :')

  • Love it!! Love being Scottish ;) -3

  • lets make it our nations anthem together as one

  • Tha a'phiob anns an oran seo uabhasachd boidheach, bu toil mo sheanair a'suidhe air a chathair agus ag eisteachd ri an ceol mar highland cathedral. Is toil leam an oran oir tha mi a dh'alba...

    Gaidhlig gu brath

    Alba gu brath!

    Chan eil Gaidhlig a bhasaich!! Tha e a'fas!

  • This was played at my sisters wedding, i will always remember that dau, thanks

  • @colzo94 Yeah its getting really popular at weddings my friend .... cheers !

  • @colzo94 it will be played at her funeral to. given that the scots life expectancy is about 43 that'll be soon.

  • People of Scotland.....

    This will be our last and final chance to be that nation again.

    Please vote YES for Scottish Independence !

    Save our culture !

    Save our identity !

    God Save Scotland !

  • @glasgow1234 You do realise by becoming seperate you will have to pay higher taxes and your pescription drugs and tution fees will most likely stop being free.

  • @LightUpMediaUK Scotland pays for it's prescriptions and tuition fees from its block grant budget it gets from Westminster, which is LESS than what we contribute, so please do explain how they would stop being free with Scotland becoming independent and having MORE money to spend? ..... And i would be more than prepared to pay a little extra if it ment my country being independent.

  • @glasgow1234 I don't pretend to know a lot about this. i just learnt about it in my geography a level class today. learning about the history between england and scotland. According to my teacher scottish people don't actually have to pay for the pescription drugs but the government does. secondly some taxes paid by english people are given to the scottish government and it pays for some tution fees. i was just told that by becoming independant the scottish government would have to raise taxes.

  • @LightUpMediaUK Hey Numb nuts, Scotland provides 30% of UK's tax revenues, we bankroll the rest of the UK with our oil. remember englishman withourt scotland you would be living in Squalor.

  • it's just genious. Touches your heart!

    5 people doesn't have a heart!! How do you can't like that?

  • Pretty cool

    But you should all know that the song was written by germany not scottland or England

  • @agronfist Yeah I am aware of the composer the info is contained in the video description :)

  • I lost touch with my father and the rest of my family on his side 40 years ago due to divorcing parents, after many years of searching and wondering about my heritage I finally made contact with his brother, only to find out that he had died 18 mnths earlier, my Uncle told me that for some generations this was played at family funerals, I love you dad and one day we will meet again after this is played for me. Thanks alot for posting you'll never know what this means to me. Clan Kinghorn

  • @alfie3zip Your more than welcome glad you enjoyed.

    Sorry to hear about your father my friend !

  • I'm Breton, so I'm really sensible to any celtic music...this one is particularly beautiful...it's always a thrill listening to this track....and this one more specifiically is well played (the strings and the piano make the difference I think

  • @weapons56 Cheers my friend glad you enjoyed it :)

    Greetings from Scotland !!!!!!

  • The heilans tar a bra sicht :)

    Nae wirds fae wir ane tung cuid gain the saung mair.

  • I'm Asian American, and I absolutely LOVE this sound... it's breath-taking!

  • @MustangsDog Cheers my friend ..... glad you enjoyed :D

  • Contrary to the pseudonym I gave myself I'm actually Scotch-Irish on my mother's side...my dad is also a full-blooded Scot. This makes me swell with pride...but my neighboors are complaining that I'm playing it too loudly.

  • This makes me feel SO patriotic......COME ON SCOTLAND!!!!!!!!!

  • What a brilliant peice of music!

  • superbbb!!! will ask my sir to compose this song for our band... hopefully can play this song next semester ^_^

  • @classsick09 Cheers good luck my friend !

  • Absolutely wonderful!I wish I had a bagpipe...and was scottish...and had an awesome kilt...

    Ah, well...greetings from Brazil!

  • Can't stop listening to this song!!

  • It is beautiful especially at 3:20 but the alps are my best 14,000 feet straight up (mont blanc)

  • This and Amazing Grace are the two songs I want performed at my funeral by the pipes and drums.

  • My sister is getting married and walking down the aisle to this tomorrow!! 14 hours arghh

  • if no other tune on this earth of ours does not bring a tear to your eye it has to be one of the finest pieces of instrumentation you will ever hear.

  • Wow, Amazing.

    Im from Poland, and i love Irish, and all music from Great Britain.

    I wish i played bagpipes.

  • @jasiek245 This is Scottish mate. Just thought i'd tell you. But yeah Great Britain on a whole has the best culture.

  • @ScotsmanTillDeath Actually the tune itself is German not Scottish. Pseudo-Scottish if you like.

  • Why does people come on this and say im from here im from there?

    Does it matter where you're from?:L.. .I dont go on Lady Gaga songs and say im from N.I and this is great!

  • @lfctorres0 this is wonderfully powerful piece, I got a little emotional first time hearing it, I truly love the Bagpipes very powerful massed in a big band ie; ( The Tattoo ) far surpasses Lady Gaga music

  • this is the sound of pure music, this stuff is what makes you think of nature, and the beutiful land we call earth, thanks a bunch for this... from canada :)

  • who would dislike this?

  • wow what an amazing piee of art im english myself but this tugs at my heartstrings everytime i play it with my cadets :)

  • @nafan1995safe Glad you enjoyed it m8 ..... keep on playing mate !

  • "Royal" and "Scots" do not go together

  • @Connelly90 She's the Queen of Scotland - as a descendant of the Scottish Monarchy - more than she's the Queen of England, so I think Royal and Scots go together splendidly :P

  • 3 people are deaf....greetings from Argentina¡¡¡

    I cannot even imagine how you must feel at the loss of your mother .... may she RIP.

    Take care my friend ..... I can only but wish you the best for the future.... God Bless !!

  • I will never betray my country no matter, in Sweden, I was born, and one country's traitor, I will never be either, but scotland will always be in my heart as much I feel for my country.

  • @cocacola3200 Take care my friend all the best from Scotland !!!!!!!!!!

  • Great video, music fantastic and the pictures are amazing! Thanks for making my day when I watched this video :-)

  • For a big tartan exhibit at Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), in the mid 80's the late Malcolm Forbes, then CEO of Forbes Magazine (and owner of the yacht Highlander), paid to fly from Scotland to Manhattan the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. This was the stunning piece they played on a NYC street Mayor Koch closed -- so all of us in black-tie and kilts (with Dewars in-hand) could watch the full parade. Later that year in Edinburgh, I paid a piper to play this three times. Crank-up the volume!

  • Great, That tugged a few strings, ALBA GU BRATH.

  • Puts shivvers down your spine this stuff...amazing tune. Scottish & proud!

  • An excellent selection of images for one of my favorite pipe tunes! My Lynns left Scotland four centuries ago, yet even my heart is stirred by the skirl of the pipes and the beat of the drums. I visited Scotland 7 years ago and long to come back. The blood is strong.

  • @gomptwoky cheers my friend glad you enjoyed viewing !

  • Anyone know where I can get the sheet music to this? I'm in a community orchestra and I would love to bring this to our area.

  • @krzydchkid I'm sorry wish I could help but hope someone else can help you.

    Good luck !

  • @krzydchkid Although this was Composed by two German s it was actually set to the Bagpipes by a Pipe Major Brian Gillies from Our Grey Auld Town in the Borders HAWICK, Info can be obtained from either The Hawick Pipe Band site or Scocha .com . Hope this helps 

  • @bulwarkful

    Thank you I have contacted Scocha.com and hopefully will hear back soon!

  • @krzydchkid Hi I bumped into PipeMajor Cammy Renwick of the Hawick Pipe Band today ,told him of your intrest in this ,he indeed has the sheet music to this Although he did say it was 8 pages and very challenging piece, but would be morethan willing to get you copies ,

  • this should be more popular than justin bieber full stop

  • @MissDumyat this song is 1 of the best i know out there and belive me i listen to some rly bad stuff altough i play on the snare whenever the band starts playing my neck hairs rise and my skin get goosebumbs(srry for my english i'm dutch) enjoy this song and be sure to pass it on to every1 of your generations

    grzzz from holland:D

  • @MissDumyat

    I'm an Irish Gael. I think that the Scots just have to adopt this song as their national anthem.

    (If ye don't want it maybe we could borrow it. lol)

  • Scottish and proud!. i want this played at my wedding and funeral. if i have a kid i'm gonna let him know fully of his Scottish blood, Scottish routs and Scottish homeland whether he's born here, in a different country or different continent. Makes me proud knowing that despite being from south-west Scotland (Dumfries& Galloway), i walked the west highland way and great glen way through these highlands :)

  • @MetalsBurden Aye proud always.........a' the best mate !

  • Haha, pride stirs in my blood when I hear the precious pipes playing. In spite of my given pseudonym, I am not all Irish, my father is half scottish, and we now also think that my mum's mum may have not been totally forthcomin on her heritage as in the documents it says Scotch-Irish. Either way, I'm proud of both sides...proud of my Gaelic heritage on both sides. Especially since we are so similar in virtually every way but religion and governance.

  • @Irishborne Yeah the pipes aye seem tae stir the blood !

  • @MissDumyat Your daughter has a great taste in music my friend 1

    Best wishes from Scotland !!!

  • Hi Glenzboyz great news last night im coming to the highlands over easter will be at kinross for the week weds to weds love your videos

  • @delpink547 Good luck hope you enjoy your visit !

  • If I wasn't Dutch, I would be proud to be a Scotsman! I've played the pipes for four years in the oldest pipeband on the mainland (Dutch pipes and drums from Tilburg)

    Highland cathedral was my favourite. I've played the tune once at sunset on a summercamp with my scouts somewere at the Grampian mountains. I could not stp crying

  • @pe1pme Yeah Highland Cathedral is a fav of many.

    The Grampian area is great Speyside & Deeside !

  • Found this music through Phil Coulter's music. Thanks for uploading! Ordered and received two CD's of The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards at Amazon and probably visit them at the Tattoo at Windsor Castle in May 2011 or Edinburgh in August 2011. Not bad for a Dutch lady don't you think :)

  • @TheNijntje123 Your welcome my friend.

    Good luck with your visit then !

    All the best from Scotland !

  • Makes me proud to be Scottish. Everytime I hear this tune played on the bagpipes it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I get a tear in my eye.......

    Thank you so much!

  • @sancarlos53 Many thanks your very welcome.

  • Thankyou for posting this brilliant video. Have travelled far and wide but nothing can compare to the sheer beauty of the Scottish Highlands. We all yearn to return some day but that"s not always possible, but we all have magical memories of days gone by growing up in this beautiful Country. Hail Caledonia and the beautiful Black Isle. Best wishes

  • @TheGoldensq Cheers your more than welcome.....glad you enjoyed viewing.

    Yeah Scotland's a beautiful country for sure.....all the best !!!

  • The version for Concert band by Philip Sparke called "Ardross Castle" (Mvt. 1 from Hymn of the Highlands) is very beautiful too for those of you who haven't heard that version yet :)

  • Scotland...Put some words to this and make it your anthem!

    It's majestic, noble, grand.

    It gives me goosebumps.

    I'm tempted to start my own country just so I can make this my own.
