highland cathedral - dunblane cathedral

[GreenMamba2011]

Hey folks,no need to argue.We germans are celtic too.I am born and raised in a small celtic german town called Gernsheim and i am proud to have celtic ancestors.

I just wish i knew how to play the bagpipe.

[nellycapelli]

this was played at my fathers funeral, a great tune for a great man.

[gotty51]

einfach super

[jimmyd7009]

English by birth, fell in love with Scotland. Hope my children will be Scottish.

[iemsmike]

I was born in the US, live in Mexico and always grew up with Scottish Music and Bagpipes. Here in Mexico there's a Band called Batallon de San Patricio Bagpipes and Drums who have gone to several tattoos in Scotland.

This tune is one of my favorite and and this video is just Fantastic!!!

[HexterTheJexter]

Reply to the racist TOSSER above. ( thegreatgubuarsehole) The vast majority of true ENGLISH "do" like this Beautiful tune!

I bet think William Wallace was Scottish, Do ya? Check you history before SOUNDING off like you did. you Nob-end.

[ScotsLass10]

This was Beautiful... so touching....God Bless Scotland... my Homeland Forever!

[aceflyer89]

It's hard to hold the tears back. I feel so honoured to be Canadian :) I always hear this in Cadets :)

[25prateada]

[zarnhofer73]

ein traum danke thanks i love england

[fimfc]

why does this tune make me cry??? amazing - so proud to be Scottish

[zhaster]

.for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom – for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

[scott55234]

as a scott im proud to be scottish

[ArcanistsFreak]

Royal scots dragoon?

[NovaScotianPiper]

I have heard that tune many times but that has to be the best version and video of it i have seen yet. Its a beautiful tune and sounds amazing on the pipes!!

[93Dank]

Very nice :D I'm Italian and I haven't understood the debate about Scot, English or German people, but I think it is a wolrd heritage

[bognieboy]

Was the song my wife and walked out to at our wedding thanks neiljohn , every time we hear this it brings a tear to our eyes , the 4 sma minded folk that did not like this you have obviously not heard or understood Scottish culture , this is one of the most amazing songs

[andischw2]

[46Avril]

Love this no matter who wrote it it's just beautiful.

[SuperScholty]

[jell21HD]

I'd love to know the 3 people that did't like this and just ask them WHY NOT??? For god sake are they from a different planet???

[jell21HD]

Causes a tear every time I hear this..... I love the bagpipes

[sidecrank]

'Love your enemies and do good to them'. How many deaths are these men responsible for?

[24352349]

@sidecrank how do you know they are responsible for any deaths,

[sidecrank]

@ Do they not fight in any 'war' zones?

[opsudrania]

It's great.

[thegreatgumburto]

I'm English and love it. It's a German tune and a credit to Scotland!

[hughflor]

[xsara2004]

[Florian267]

[davidatcuwclubnet]

I'm English but the sound of all those bagpipes together made my blood run cold and brought tears to my eyes. Bagpipes are very loud and rightly deserve to be :') All in tune & all in time... PERFECTION!!

[Horsemarine100]

A real European Union operation: a German tune played by a Scots band, uploaded by someone from the Netherlands! Braw, prachtig, great!

[reveldog123]

british by birth great grandmother came from thurso i love the bagpipes played this at my dads funeral

[scotgig]

My mates two boys are RSDG. One's a drummer. Having seen them live in a wee hall in Dundee, you just can't equal the sound.

[keithbrown007]

[puritanpro1]

My very favorite marching piece that the Pipes and Drums of all sizes and shapes play - we have our own locals here who march into Church every First Sunday of the year playing this!

[Stugood5]

Was best man at my friends wedding here, an amazing place

[MrBenti]

Kaum zu glauben, dass die Melodie von 2 Deutschen während des Dudelsack-Studiums geschrieben wurde.

[burnmaster1967]

GREAT

GREAT

GREAT

[burnmaster1967]

GREAT



[Metaria13]

May the Scottish BackPipes Always Play for Unity and Peace on Our Planet By Honouring St. Andrew's Teaching.

!Mitakuye Oyasin!

[glasgow1234]

Thumbs up if you want Scotland to become an independent country !

[aardvark1956]

Our younger daughter used this at her wedding via a super quality CD. The traditional beginning with a lone piper joined by the full band is not to be missed. Thrilled to see it done live at the huge annual Virginia International Military Tattoo.

[almirantenegro]

beautiful !!!!!!!!!

[hawickman]

My man you are a True Jock and be f"""ing proud . I live in Somerset and and I am loud and proud

[robertmrutledge]

The video's out of time with the sound. Watch the fingers and the marching and compare it to the tune.

[thegoodseed1]

@robertmrutledge OMG you're right! Do you think maybe they are just pretend pipers? The video is spoiled for me now.

[Snobollskrieg]

@thegoodseed1 Well, if the marching, the drums and the pipes are out of sync.. Wouldn't it be more probable that it's just the video that's a little out of sync? :P I doubt they would fake things like this.

[thegoodseed1]

@Snobollskrieg I know....I was only joking. My point was that despite the beautiful music one person could only notice a little bit of sync-problems!!

[pipey61]

@robertmrutledge Probably the recorded track was done independently of the filming which wouild not be unusual.

[Chipmd21]

This song brings tears to my eyes. It makes me proud to be one part Scottish/German I didnt get into my heritage until I got my first sheltie. And participated in Scottish games and got to travel.

[BavariaFantastica990]

its so lush that even the scots play that german song!!!

[torti426]

I have watched this video so many times I think I am developing a crush on most of these pipers-something about their nimble fingers that are so long and thick...yikes how embarassing to admit that I would love to look under those kilts. It was the picture of the lone piper that drew me to the video at first, now it's the beautiful melody and pure Celtic lust.

[steve998]

You are before me, Lord, You are behind

And over me You have spread out Your hand;

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,

Too high to grasp, to great to understand.

[Piperealitycheck]

Cheesier than a direct hit on a cheese factory!

[VanAmrun]

the one thing most of you won't know is the following fact.

Highland Cathedral is not a scottish, or even british piece of music. It is a german piece of music, due to the fact, that the two composers were from germany.

They just wrote it for the highlands.

But nevertheless it is an outstanding beautiful piece of music.

greetings from germany

[JProject2008]

I Love this Melodie

[ClairaGEagleHawk]

I always cry when I hear bagpipes. My gran comes in with bagpipes from scotland every time I call her. They must have a hell of a Band in Heaven. Every time I have lost someone in any life they always play the bagpipes....

[wowismylifeful]

i dont give a fuck im english amazing music i love scottish music!!

[tedcliffe]

LOVE THIS TUNE BUT FOR SOME REASON IT MAKES ME SAD

[DrShrinkus]

@tedcliffe Me too - it makes me cry just about every time i hear it.

[booler79]

The 3 who dislike this don't deserve to have ears

[fahnenflucht84]

Hi all, i come from germany and this tune is so wonderfull and i hear this wonderfull tune start tears the run begins.

[holmesalan1]

As a former Green Howard worked with lots of scottish regiments, and there great music never failed to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

[Amotherlost]

Played at my son,s funeral. The second hymm, Jamie Squires aged 26 8/9/82 - 8/4/09. R I P My handsome angel. Always remembered never forgot. MUM. XXXX

[biggsyhsac]

Mallaig!

[Skymannetje]

The Same Here, When Ia Am Sad I Play This And Cry like A Baby, And I Am 55 Years Old

[Nethiro]

They played this at our last day at school in norway too. Brings back a lot of memories!

[Apenvoet]

My grandma was burried today, to this song...

[TheEchopage]

It's a beautiful song, no doubt. I think it's quite amazing how a song, which was written by germans in the 1980s could get so popular in Scotland.

Greeting from Bavaria (its near Germany)

[gmaccruyff55]

@TheEchopage Simiar mentallity.Just like FC koln fans have adopted "Loch Lomond".

[stuartmacleod1]

dad if you read this i will be home soon

[daisyrosemisty]

That is beautiful. I love the instruments.It brought tears to my eyes.

[rosstituteuk]

sure its been asked already buy what is the name of this tune ? i want to get a versino for download

[Hinti70]

If you gonna hear this sound out of over 200 pipes, you'll feel something special in your

heart: HOME! Even if you are Swiss

[augusto3881]

que hermosa melodia.

[SpawtAwnProductions]

People ask me why Scottish people (I'm only half Scots on my mothers side but got it in me!) are so patriotic. Have a listen to this! Unionist or Nationalist you it's something that makes us all unite with pride to be Scots! LONG LIVE SCOTLAND!

[sniperkaya43234]

beautiful

[luckypenni]

love it, beautiful

[448Howie]

Awsome!!  What can I say.

[IamXboxGamer]

[1952MrAndrew]

My father was born in Edinburgh but lived most of his life in Nottinhamshire. We played this piece at his funeral as his flag draped coffin entered, It is something I will never forget.

[jayt5661]

make me wish i was back home and back in the highlanders

[MrBunnes]

how can people dislike this song it is more than epic.....

[aidenant2006]

[opus795]

super schön! - Danke für`s Einstellen.

Best wishes from Germany

[Siglinde2008]

Sehr schön.daumen hoch vür dich

[1992konsti]

I went to a boarding school in Scotland for a year. The School's pipe band played it pretty much the same way in the memorial Hall on my last day there. Everytime I hear it, I have to remember that day and its hard not to start crying, cause it creates so much atmosphere. GREAT TUNE. The three English people who dislike this should just accept that it is a great piece of music!

[ScotsmanTillDeath]

@1992konsti How do you know their English?

[DoyleMCR]

@1992konsti I'm a Englishman and I love this peice of music!

[winwc2008]

to poppy

[BimberMistrz]

Ok, but why the hell there are pop beats from the second minute? Really, why would ANYONE need pop beats in the song for bagpipes and drums? They almost always destroy everything.

[christopher8948]

dusseligen

[mvam319]

AWESOME!!!!! I cant believe this dosent have at least a million hits!!!!!!! Big thumbs up from Boston!!!

[dpkent47]

Music to sooth the weary soul. I could listen to it for a long long time.

[Sonnenstern1908]

Sehr schön...da fängt man an den Dudelsack zu mögen...

[MsMakkapakka]

Some sounds maybe copied from 'Gags for laughs, etc'. But I still believe the composer(s) have done an okay job. C'mon you Scots pipers, you have to beat this one. Don't let the Gerries beat you.

[mperen1979]

This version allways makes me cry because its so beautyfull ... I hope that i can go to scotland and see that amazing country someday ... greetings from denmark :)

[SirBagpiperIan]

3 people are english

[delpink547]

this tune is so emotional im british mum was scottish and my partner caroline when we meet told me her daugther Marie wrote a poem abt dunblane killings i love this tune reminds me of mum and my happy childhood in gods country

[1942dandy]

Highland Cathedral was played just before I walked my daughter down the aisle. It was not an easy task since both of us were on the verge of tears, but we made it. Being the son of parents that came to the US from Glasgow, I am a died in the wool SCOT and proud to be one. I was drummer with the Atlanta Pipe Band back in 70's and now my son is a Grade 2 drummer with a band in North Carolina. Yes, Pipes and Drums are part of our life!!!

[SuperCelticKing]

@1942dandy what band does your son drum in?

[1942dandy]

@SuperCelticKing He plays for the Grandfather Mountain Highlanders in North Carolina. They are a very good Grade 4 band and my son is an exceptional Grade 2 Drummer. I was a drummer once, but not as good as my son..

[SuperCelticKing]

@1942dandy cool, im a piper myself but was thinking about taking up drumming at one point

[bigbadboodydaddy]

I must be honest, I haven't heard the Highland cathedral played nearly as beautifully as they played it during my time in high school. I've been looking for something similar to THAT for 10 years and nothing touches it... Tis here we learn to live!!

[davidoff51100]

GIGANTESQUE

[vulkancorax]

why is it out of sync?

[andypenny76]

reminds of the day i passed off from phase1 basic training!!

[coolrunnings1021]

OMFG we scots do things with style

[murphyclan144]

Lovely makes me very proud to be scottish thank youi Germany. My son wants to learn pipes but nobody hear to teach him and we live in scotland.

[moggie58wa]

love the Scots cross on the shadows on the floor!

[ROCK6MY7WORLD9]

Im Mexican. After Listening To This: I Wanna Be A Piper.

[1942dandy]

We heard this song at the Tattoo in 1988, by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. My daughter loved it so much, that it was played by a piper of the Atlanta Pipe band and our church's magnificent pipe organ for her wedding in 2000.

[bigbadboodydaddy]

@1942dandy at our final school assembly, funny enough also in 2000, they played the Highland cathedral along with the organ. You just do not get it better than that. As soon as the organ joins the pipes, it moves something deep inside you. It left every single boy with tears running down his cheeks. I just wish I could find a copy accompanied by an organ....

[wolfmk9]

I view this vid over and over again. It truely is touching, and sad. May I suggest that you rename your vid to "Highland Cathedral - Dunblane Cathedral". It is deserving of more "hits". Should be shared/seen more...

[ElectricHellfire]

The pipes and the video always give me goose bumps. This is one of my all time favorites. Peace from the United States of America.

[wohaiboy]

i heard this song from hong kong police and then cant escape

[Taijar]

I now want to marry a scottishman!

[aultra76]

we had a piper, Davey Welsh pipe us out to this music at our wedding on 9th April 2011, it was wonderful!

[gsnjonno]

What a beautiful piece of music and the Pipes and Drums make it brilliant

[heatherinparis]

Beautiful!



[acsman56]

Land of my fathers, we will always be

Faithful and loyal to our own country.

In times of danger we will set you free,

Lead you to glory and to victory.

Lonely the exile, o'er distant seas,

The home of their birth, gone from their eyes.

Bring back their souls o'er the ocean breeze

To the land where their fathers lie.

[arguseys]

this ought to be played only with pipes and drums and non off any schützenfest-spielmannszüge

it belongs to scottish traditions

[LordWestminster]

I lost one part of my Heart in Scotland . With best greetings from Bavaria

[CdFbroderies]

I love love love Scotland and scots ...

Kisses from France

[1ExtraChrispy1]

My wife and I got married to this tune. Played by the City of Denver (now Denver & District) Pipe band.

[MrSeventiesMan1]

Hypnotic piece of music..I've played this video over and over again,Intend to record onto a CD and play next time I'm driving though Glencoe!!..pulls at the strings of the heart!!!...Proud Scot!!!

[puer96]
