  • A really touching video! Thanxs!

  • is it just me or when your here this you feel free ?

  • Uillean Pipes are haunting. Better instrumental choices exist for conveying other emotions, but for pure sorrow, aching longing, stubborn pride, and melancholy wonder, nothing beats the Uillean Pipes.

  • @revrbsj yeah well said. And I cannot describe how utterly beautiful I find this music Im sure well all hear it in Heaven if it exists. The pipes must be from Heaven...they aint of this earth thats for sure.

  • @revrbsj Excellent description ! Yes the Uilleann Pipes have their own distinct 'personality'.

  • I have Irish blood, and I view the Irish and Scottish as cousins united by a common history of persecution from the English. But the two cultures are not exactly the same. For example, even though Scottish Gaelic (Gaidhlig) was derived from Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge), speakers of the two languages would have a hard time conversing. I think there are more Irish Gaelic speakers than any other kind. However, I am a big supporter of Celtic culture, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, Bretons, whatever.

  • @guyfihi And there is no such thing as 'Irish blood', the only blood types are A, B, O and AB. Ireland is a place not a race. And that place is not in America and America is not in Ireland, in fact, they are worlds apart and completely different nations all together.

    They aren't even in the same continent and are an entire ocean away.

  • @guyfihi Scots-Gáidhlig did not derive from Irish-Gaelige, they are both different languages that derived from Goidelic which was not Irish nor was it exclusive to Ireland, the term 'Gael' is a linguistic term only, not a people, hence anybody who spoke a Goidelic tongue was called a Gael back then regardless of where they came from.

    Scots-Gáidhlig was supplanted by the Caledonian Pictish language (the early Scots), hence why it's a different language and is more P than Q related.

  • 5 People dont like William Wallace

  • @brunosccper wahhahaaa I love him :) Great man.

  • @nimhrais I happen to love the man myself! My ancestors died for the cause of Scottish Freedom under the leadership of William Wallace! Aye! A great man indeed!

  • @SuperThunder64 Wow! you must be very proud of them :)

  • @nimhrais  Yes, I'm very proud! The family can legitimately prove our clan lineage back to 1100 in Scotland. From 1300 at Lochindorb Castle and from there, at numerous locations throughout the northeast of Scotland. My heritage remains one of my most valuable possessions. It's a wonderful thing to know of their sacrifices and their role in Scottish history.

  • @SuperThunder64 I wish I knew what my family did, we just know we came from scotland somewhere :3

  • @smudge508 It all starts with research. If your family has a Scottish name, it may well be recorded in the "Registry of Tartans" which is available online. If you find it there, most often there is alot of information on that particular Clan and its origins. Give it a try, you never know what you may find. Good luck! I've been very lucky, my cousin, God rest his soul - spent 30 years tracing us back to Scotland and even met our family still there some years ago.

  • @brunosccper

    That's too bad, eh?

    

  • NICE!!!! i want to got there so bad!!!!!

  • dosen't matter where...it's beautiful celtic music accompanied by beautiful scenery...nuff said

  • Wow, what a beautiful song and selection of photos! Thanks for posting!

  • @Philosopher429 not sure, ive only ever heard of Ireland and Scotland as being the last of the Celts.

  • Thank you for a beatiful song & wonderful pictures. Thumbs up to you!  :)

  • wheres enya then?....

  • @baldandold The Song is from enya^^

  • The cave at 1:52, WHERE IS THAT ?! :)))))))))))

  • @Mjollnir1337

    That's Fingal's Cave. It's on the Island of Staffa. :)

  • It could be a blank screen. Song us awesome.

  • awesome video

  • beautiful.

  • always loved enya ... always will ... her musik have help me true my many years of ilness

  • Haggish.

  • Uilleann pipes enchant at a level that is deeper than mere asthetic delight. They stir the soul. Every note tells a story, every measure a poem.

  • @revrbsj Well spoken!! To me, they dance on the ballad of our ancestors who made Ireland what it is today, of pain and strife, yet weaving from minor to major the goodness of the glas oilean, Eirinn.

    My body be of the rock on Her shores,

    My blood be of Her spring waters,

    My skin of Her velvet moss,

    My soul and spirit - bound to Her and those who walk the Emerald Isle.

  • Makes me proud to be both Irish and Scottish!

    Eirinn go bragh!!

    Alba gu brach!!

  • Eurotrip...

  • roxcharlie. Sorry but the border never went South of the Tweed on any of the thirteen swaps of Berwick town between Scotland and England.

    What you would have been quite correct in saying is that, before either Scotland or England existed as countries, it was pretty well the seat of power from Yorkshire direction up to pretty well the middle of what we now call Scotland. But who the heck cares, fantastic scenery, fantastic music.

  • I miss Alba ;(

    I would give anything to live their until I die, my body buried in the highlands where my ancestors once lived (Gordon highlanders).

    This song gives me goosebumps - so relaxing. I can almost feel the spring water flow onto me.

  • Great music!

  • @SirJamesBloodfang yes so

  • There is a "New Scotland", its in Canada the province of "Nova Scotia"..... It has towns named "New Glasgow" and "Pictou". Area's known as "Caledonia"

  • The biggest wish of mine to visit Scotland, I think is a really beautiful country

  • @Cristian97083 it is!

  • Very good responce Chooch46. Lovely song and goes well with the breathtaking landscape of scotland

  • It's Celtic. Scotland, Ireland, Wales. Doesn't matter. Enya or Elvis Costello, Doesn't matter. So fuck off!!

  • A little bird told me recently the first Irish were not Scottish/Pictish, at all, at all, at all! Apparently, some ologists found ancient WELSH LINGO manuscripts up near Teer Connell in the north. So, yacky dah, everyone! Even so, I'm glad we are descended from a Celtic State. Or PRE-Celt to be more accurate. But where did the Pictish language and its speakers go? They left no forwarding address. If only the Scots could find such a manuscript. Pictland The Brave!

  • Magnifique, c'est mieux que le tam tam ...........

  • Nice to see pictures of the homeland again...

  • beautiful

  • Oh how i yearn to visit Scotland.....Such a wonderful place!!!

  • Believe it or not but I am the ONLY Irishman who has never visited Bonnie Scotland!!

    It is, of course, our nearest neighbour and, culturally, it is our First Cousin. That's how I see it! There was always a lovely flow of traffic between the two cultures and we gave each other lovely presents - they gave us Lulu and we gave them Wee Daniel O'Donnell! Oh, gawd, let me outta here! By the way, the first Irish were Pictish people from Scotland/Pictland!!

  • @squirell1952 agree 100% my pet, born in Galsie, heart and tick the ethnic sheet as white irish always living in sasanac country

  • I would LOVE to visit Scotland or Ireland one of these days, I want to see some of the beautiful things only ancient nations can provide

  • I love Scotland!!! Respect from Italy..;-)

  • My dear friends, I have travelled Scotland and I do recognize many of the pictures - places, but let me tell you, you have got the first picture wrong big time!!! It is Bamburgh castle and is located - as you may have guessed - in Bamburg - England. Nice pictures in your XD though. May be you should have included Kelso castle, Floors castle etc.

  • You've got to laugh at the ridiculous comments. The pictures are beautiful and the music is enchanting. Makes me proud to be Scottish :)

  • Pls. Shut the Fuck Up...Listen & enjoy...;)

  • I´m from Spain, but I think that Scotland and Scottish music are the most beautiful in the world ;)

  • AHHH .. home xx.. beautiful xx:)

  • Enya is Irish, bagpipes are Scottish. Uillean pipes are are Irish, and these are uillean pipes.

  • @bigtopbabe bagpipes are celtics (highland bagpipe, uilleann pipes, biniou, ...) but it's a good point.

  • @thewindthatshakesbar Yeah, very, very technically, bagpipes are more of a category of instrument than a particular instrument, but the instrument that most people picture when you say "bagpipes" are Scottish bagpipes.

  • Amazing pictures with an amazing song. It makes me want to go to Scotland. I've always wanted to tour Scotland and Ireland.

  • BEAUTIFUL! Gotta get to Scotland SOON!!!

  • Enya is Irish

  • @SirJamesBloodfang How long was she in clannad? Wonder if clannad is still around.

  • @SirJamesBloodfang And? Is it not allowed to play her music and show pictures of the Scottish landside?

  • @nimhrais ha ha, good one!

  • @nimhrais Id make a Scotland video with music from a German metal band just to piss him off lol

  • @nimhrais nah Scotland and Ireland have pretty similar cultures, Scottish and Irish are the last of the Celts

  • @3Slim3Shady3 You forgot the Welsh, Cornish, Bretons, and technically the Basque.

  • @SirJamesBloodfang enya is enya, shes human.

  • So nostalgic sounding... C:

  • This exactly the opposite of OUR (Bulgarian) bagpipes and type of music. Yours is so calming and joyfull :) Ours is sad and intense. Which actually shows the difference in our two countries! Nontheless we are the same people ! We BULGARIANS have some CELTIC blood in our veins (most of the people don't know this), which also explains why we share almost the same ethnic musical traditions :) Look up "Serdi tribe" in wikipedia :) CHEERS :)

  • The pic with sheep and sea landscape really looks like a Sardinian panorama! I love Scotland and someday I'll visit this marvelous land. Alba and Sardigna gu brath!

  • Thanks for going thru so much work putting this delightful music/ video clip...you've blessed 2 us this morning already! My husband suffers mouth cancer, was very young. He's Scottish, lived in Scotland. He couldn't sleep, so during the night , researched this selection Enya's music= loves it.

    He found the video you put together, sent links to others, so they too could enjoy! Never mind any ugly mean spirited criticisms! The devils the one worried about details! Thanks for blessing us!

  • This Reminds me of Home.

  • i love narnia

  • Hmmm. Scotland pictures. Why is the first one Bamburgh Castle? Its firmly South of the border in Northumberland.

  • @angryman2736 Cause I wanted to have a short title. I also could call it: Scotland and Scotland-like pictures of castles, meadows, hills and mountains in and in the near of Scotland accompanied by Enya with an Irish Song. But most of the people are not that fussy and just enjoy without controlling every picture.

  • @nimhrais and apart from any of that I live in Northumberland and for sure see myself closer to Scotland than the damn capital of this country...I wish they would move the Scottish border down to the Tyne.

  • @nimhrais But to be fair if you put in photos of English places and title them pictures of Scotland then if people are looking it is only a matter of time before someone says "that's not Scotland". Especially if people know that place well and Bamburgh is pretty well known. Maybe you should have just started with the Jedburgh Abbey one :-)

  • @nimhrais Don't know if it matters but at one time I think that area was under Celtic control.

  • @nimhrais "But most of the people are not that fussy and just enjoy without controlling every picture" You'd think there would be enough photos of Scotland not to include English photos though! People from the locality are always going to notice and if they notice then they are going to point it out :-)

  • @nimhrais THAT was funny!

  • @nimhrais Good answer. love the post, thank you

  • @angryman2736 shut up its a nice vid and a lovely song well dune nimhrais

  • @angryman2736 ...angryman...hmmmm. Go back READ very first word says "SOME" Scotland Pictures with Celtic music.

  • @angryman2736 well if you wanna get technical, Bamburgh castle used to be in 'Scotland' at one time or another when the borders were changed back and forth

  • @angryman2736 shut up and enjoy the video ding dong

  • I live in Canada but my Granndparents were from scotland and my life's goal is to move there... only then will i truly be happy

  • whats the name of the castle at first photo ?

  • @Muszkinson Bamburgh Castle. Its not in Scotland, its in Northumberland (whats not far away from Scotland)

  • @nimhrais  Very beautifull... I must go there on my holidays :))

  • @nimhrais True, but it was once a Briton (Celtic) fortress, along with Dun Ediyn (Edinburgh), Caer Gwent and many others before they were taken by invaders, so I'll not object.

  • Can someone tell me where the picture @ 2:28 is taken?

  • Its a nice land, i have been there and look forward, to go again and a visit to the casle, dont forget

  • Its a nice land, i have been there and look forward, to go again

  • Very nice country and i hope to enjoy it once to visit it there cos i like the music and the sound of celtic bagpipes and drums !

  • Guinness, bodhran's and uilleann pipes are where it's at.

  • beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

    from india with love!

  • Enya is Irish and these are Irish pipes. Nothing to do with Scotland.

  • @MrZygoticmynci We know, but the photo's in the video are of Scotland, and you can tell Plastic paddies wearing Scottish traditional dress uniforms and playing Scottish Highland bagpipes on St. Patrick's day has nothing to do with Ireland.

  • @truefalse :mrzigo has a point.These are Uilleann pipes(Irish)and the origional bagpipes were Irish Warpipes which were hijacked by the Scots,not that i mind as i like pipe music.For pipe music,check out Davy Spillane.Pure class.

  • @billyhunchback So when I see American's on a St. Patrick's day parade, they are dressed in Scottish outfits, playing Scottish tunes on Scottish instruments, waving Ireland's flag. Identity mix up here.

  • @truefalse Please learn your history on Saint Patrick before posting. St Patrick was born a Briton under Roman rule - in what is now known as Scotland. In his teens he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave by Niall of the Nine Hostages, a famous king of Ireland whose son Laoghaire was later to play a large part in Patrick's mission to convert Ireland to Christianity. He was born in Scotland, which is why a large part of the celt community embrace Scottish pipes and dress on the day.

  • @FrankenstoneMUSIC also the uilleann pipes are descended from the scottish pastoral pipes and sounded similar. In fact the first set of marked scottish pipes are union pipes the first type of pipes that became known as the irish uilleann pipes in 1905. Scottish makers like Robertson in the 1760s were making these pipes the same time as the first irish sets. The uilleann pipe was just as scottish as the irish claim the highland pipe as a tradition. Again both cultures enriched each other.

  • @seonidh

    I woudnt say Ireland claims the highland pipe as a tradition. The Uillean Pipes especially in the west of Ireland, Kerry, Clare or Mayo is an integral part of Irelands national identity. You might see a big band in Dublin or a St Patrick day parade somewhere around the world use the highland pipe but I wouldnt say its deeply regarded in Ireland as an Irish tradition.

  • @capetown99 yes you can the GHB is part of the Irish trad they played a similar instrument. But the same can be said for the Uilleann pipes in scotland in fact the English could claim the trad as well as the first instruments were seen in england. It just like the GHB is an integral part of modern scotland and a modern identity, but both the GHB and UP were played in both countries before both became national symbols. Both can claim them and both have a right to use them nationalism aside

  • AMAZING VIDEO....LOVE IT SO VERY MUCH....LOVE SCOTLAND WITH ALL MY HEART!!! THE MUSIC IS GORGEOUS.... :)

  • Thank you for this. My castle is on there. ;)

  • these pipes are used in all celt tunes

  • is there any button that replays the video over and over so i could just lay back and not pressing the play button over and over again ?

  • @CuteZergling01 Replace "youtube" with "endlessvideo" in the url.

  • can anyone tells me, the celtic music is from Scottland or Ierland??? i find a same thing with their traditional music, it's a lil confusing,

    this is a great music by the way... i wish i can get there sooner, its not far from where i live actually, France

  • @itaLEGOLL Il me fait plaisir de te répondre en français même! Je suis Québecois d'origine Irlandaise et un peu écossaise... Le musique celte viens de l'Irlande, de l'Écosse, de Bretagne, du Pays de Galles et de Catalogne, j'en oublie sûrement... Ceci dit, il est normal que les musique traditionnelles de tous ces pays se ressemblent, puisqu'elles ont la même origine, plus spécialement l'Irlande et l'Écosse, puisque les écossais sont, en fait, venus d'Irlande. C'est à peu près ça. :)

  • @thewindthatshakesbar merci beaucoup pr la reponse, aah de la Bretagne aussi? c'est pour ça que ça ressemble tellement avec leur musique traditionelle... cette musique est tellement magique, épic!!

  • awesometascticness!!

  • nice Irish song with some nice irish pipes, i love scotland but wtf? :P

  • amazing song long live Scotland for ever.

  • beautiful landscapes and celtic music love it!!!

  • Great song :). Today i wanted to compare Irish songs with Scottish, but I can't decide which i like most, because both are amazing :X

  • what castle is pictured at 1:48?

  • After this you cant say that there is no God! Look at that beauty!

  • @hansmys Praise the Flying Spaghetti Monster! R'amen.

  • just awesome...

  • I MISS SCOTLAND SO VERY MUCH !!!!! BUT WITH THIS, I CAN IMAGINE BEEN THERE !!! LOVE IT !!!

  • nimhrais, a graidh, its Gods country 

  • Guess I would fit in OK over there,I am a big old ruin too.

  • Wonderful land, Amazing Scotland ! Greetings for imges and music.

  • Scotland and Ireland look exactly the same - beautiful

  • @ErneLough .... so is Wales, we celts know where to live :o)

  • That first picture is of Bamburgh castle, which is in Bamburgh next to Seahouses and the Farne islands, and therefore, in England. I know the Calverts, who live there and maintain the castle, and I live 15 miles away from there, so technically not in Scotland, but 20 or so miles from the border.....

  • @05macdonaldsmitha " the Border!" I t still stands! awww we still want ScotLand back"!

  • @shieldwolf49 you're american

  • Comment removed

  • @shieldwolf49 scottish people don't talk like that. you'd get a smack in the gob if you spoke like that to ANY of them

  • I love me...In the song is the love..Tranks you!!:D

  • this makes me want to migrate to scotland even more

  • Alba!!! Gordon Highlanders!!!!!!!

  • Alba go Bragh :)

  • @mrwilliamjoel Ciamar a tha thu?

  • @celticbattleaxe math, thu?

    (apologies for not actually speaking Gaelic, though I am trying to learn)

  • @mrwilliamjoel Oh, it's OK!!! I'm still learning, too, especially at my Irish Gaelic. :)

  • Wunderschön........

  • What a wonderful music !!! It makes me cry ! <3

  • This song makes me think of eating cheese. I like eating cheese.

  • im not a scot me self but i love them scots and the irish persicuted and ravaged by the so called "noble" english but no warrior goes down so easily big respect to them all!

  • You can take a Scot out of Scotland, but you can't take Scotland out of a Scot.

  • Jedes Wort währe zuviel Einfach nur Wunderbar .Komme aus der ehemaligen Ostzone.Hatte dann nach der Wende in Schottland Urlaub gemacht.und hatte erst da so richtig festgestellt,das die DDRbonzen mir mein halbes Leben geklaut hatten.

  • this is really nice but makes me feel sad

  • Mhic na galla..Now I feel incredibly homesick, I swear on my way back the moment I get out of the bloody airport I'm going to kneel and kiss the ground.

  • @miellikkiful what does Mhic na galla mean? I'm gonna guess... oh my god?

  • @CelticWizard113 Haha, considering I'm a Glasweigan it's highly improbable for us to complete a sentence without cursing.So no, it definitely doesn't mean ''oh my god'', more along the lines of ''son of a b****!!!'' as a frustrated exclamation:)

    Cheers!

  • @miellikkiful ah well i saw three words so it was just a guess hahahaha.

    dont worry i curse and swear all day. cheers from Canada, my Scottish brother!

  • @CelticWizard113 Sister, that is.But many say you can't tell the Scots genders apart (especially after a little drinking) with all the cursing going on so I won't hold it against you:)

    Right back at you!

    Wish you well!

  • @miellikkiful D: now i feel like a dick!

    ah well! Your forgiveness is appreciated! i cant wait to visit the lands of my Scottish forefathers sometime soon!

  • ich komme aus einem ganz anderen kultur krei und wir haben eienen anderen aber auch ganz anderen traditionen aber ich liebe und fühle mich zum schottland hingezogen.ich liebe den dudelsack musik und die geschichte von schottland

  • This is my home too. Alba awaits its long lost daughter! I shall return; Highlands, here I come!

    What stunning photos, made me feel close to home. If only those castle walls could talk, eh? =)

  • this is my home i miss it so much time ta go back.

  • lovely

  • I miss this place so much..

  • Scotland like the American Indians know what freedom is, never forgot.

  • Beautiful place. Not a day goes past i don't think about going back.. Don't cry for me Scotland, i will return.

  • Is there an overall message being sent through this song? It sounds a little depressing, but at the same time, happy and relaxed.
