[TimeTravellersGirl]

Thanks for sharing

[iltimonier]

omg when i downloaded these vid, i didn't know there was such large polemical comment. I am Italian and i love bagpipes sound, we got somwting similar here in the mountains village of central italy "zampogne" and in Sardinia Island "Launeddas" which are blown directly from mouth , but the sound is like pipes exactly. long life to traditional music, celtic,scothish, or any other, wish to go in august to Edinburg to ear them live sometime.

[MrBritishLoyalist]

When you ae there not at the parade, just on the parade ground, it looks so small, but here it looks so big.

[Sra33thousand]

It had to be SO LOUD in that tunnel before they all got outside. :O

[MrBritishLoyalist]

@planetyouranus22

[Scotsbell]

Ignore the ignorant idiots. Have been to Poland and it is a beautiful country. Hard to convince people who haven't been outside their own ghettos of the cesspits of Engerland. Had a great visitlast year in and around Krakow including a visit to Auchwitz, a humbling, historic experience. Loved the Polish culture too xx

[lsjkfbsodj]

Should be Scotsbellend. No cesspits in Scotland..... are you fuckin kidding.!

[dwards123]

hey does any one has a video of rainbow country played at 2:17 in this video. would really appreciate if someone uploads it ,

[Lennholm89]

Im guessing massive lunges to march and blowing pipe at the same time

[johnleggat]

hey check out scottish band

third connection , simple things

cheers

[doornroosjedepoosje]

Could everybody please behave...

[scrumdiddly]

Apparently not. Just do what the rest of us do and block out everything below "Text Comments (89) Options"...

[Ginandor]

Well I suppose we are damned as long as theres arseholes like you breathing Gods good air. Now off you go you window licker. Go and play with the buses.

[10wolken2007]

phantastisch 10+!

[MultiJoschi]

[Fitzangus]

I think it wandered up to Belfast from its hovel in Dublin and got its arse kicked by a Ulsterman.

[Sherogoth]

well said raveingjunkey

[polskich]

does your boyfriend slide his hand up your skirt

[polskich]

you are a cross dressing haggis eating uncultered peasant

[roas2]

you're polish?

HAH what a joke. your fire service is made up with women half the time thats how pathetic your country is

[scottishnationalist]

Polskich, it was scottish soldiers who fought the nazis after your country surrendered to them.

[polskich]

where was that? dunkurk!

[gaelicscots]

The only reason that Britain declared war on germany was because poland was nvaded by the germans and surrendered to them.

Scottish troops were fighting all over europe, north africa and the pacific.

where were the poles fighting ?

the poles were being gassed and burned in ovens because the nazs deemed slavs to be subhuman and subservient

[polskich]

scotish soldiers were being beaten all over europe and the far east, the germans did not know wether to fuck or fight the skirt wearing faggots

[grindergaz]

We (England) entered the war after Poland was invaded by the Germans from the west and the Russians from the east. We will defend Polski, Joe public, UK

[Blakey6678]

your a really fucking idiot! Real men wear kilts!

[polskich]

girls wear skirts men wear trousers, a kilt is a skirt, if men wear skirts its because they are cross dressers in other words perverts and they should be on a sex offenders register

[Blakey6678]

Your a stupid Fuck

[Copie0178]

You Like causing controversy dont you fuckin Polish Rat.

We Are Scotish, English, Irish And Welsh.

Together we stand as one as a part of Britain.

We All have our own cultures but when it comes down to it,

We will stand side by side till the end.

[polskich]

the end is close friend, you are living in an islamic state, it will not be long before they kick your scots ass

[nokialifeblogger]

[polskich]

[nokialifeblogger]

You're a stupid lad mate. Why would you say such horrible thing such as the islam shite you said eh? Don't you think ye deserve such swearing ah? Take care lad.

[polskich]

[Guyisaritelegend]

[tehkinar]

I played in '58 in the Army Apprentice Schools Corps of drums bugle and flute band. Along with pipes and drums of the Gurkhas. I wish they easy little digital cameras back in those days. I'll never forget it.

[jeztubbin]

[HOKsystem]

Whats The Name Of The Second Song That They Played ?

[bealach]

The Skye Boat Song

[jock2517]

well let me just tell you see if all your "friends" were not here all with three jobs each we in scotland would have work to go to but however every factory, shop ect ect that is with in a 100 mile radius of me is full of trash to the extent that there is not a scottish or british person in these places all places that supplied a livelyhoods for thousands of familys is full to bursting point and some familys have even lost there homes but EVERY single pole has no less than 2 jobs.you do the math

[polskich]

how is it that poles can get two or three jobs each and you can not get one? did you go to school? is it your personality?

[SCOTLANDBRAVE]

shut the fuck up and go home ya greetin faced shite

[keirfree]

jock2517,,, You make me Hold my head in absolute shame, What ever shit, was thrown at the Scots over, 100 s of years,! and Fuck there was much, never did we ever refuse, some one else the chance, what ever their religion creed race, to come. and live work among us. We are Not Irish, We are Not English, We are the people that has Jock Thompson as our faither,

[jock2517]

everyone is welcome to play at the tattoo polskich but they are not welcome to come here and steal the livlyhood of every scot in scotland (i hope every pole dies of cancer

[bhoyjack]

typical in-bred jock twat ..

[viewfourth]

typical enggerrrrrlllannnd wanker.

obsole with no brain so joined the army,probably pissed off that england should be playing in the african nations cup instead of europe.lol.

england is a cesspit with no identity.lol.

[struantheruin]

Fuck off and die jock2517, you utter moron with no sense of history.

[igorpdx]

we are all humans. I've found wherever I have traveled in the world that it is the ruling classes that foster hate in the working people so that they can live off their plight. Hating Polish people will not get you a job or make you happy. Hate only destroys the hater.

[Joanna7Y]

I was there for this!! I was on the opposite side from you. Loved every minute of it! Thanks for posting!

[polskich]

has a polish band ever played at this tattoo or are they discriminated against

[struantheruin]

Dunno mate, but plenty of kids at my school twenty five years ago had fathers and grandfathers who were from Poland. Some had come to Scotland for the mining early 20th century, and lots more came during the War and stayed after. The Polish Club only shut down six or seven years ago because the old men were, well, you can guess. You and your countrymen are welcome here, any time, my friend.

[Giantcrabb]

strange comment.......why would they be????

[polskich]

i do not consider it a strange comment, polish service men served with the british in most theatres of war in ww11, they have been in nato many years but i have never seen a polish band at this tattoo

[viewfourth]

poles eat shite and die.

[Giantcrabb]

you misunderstood my comment.

i meant........why would they be discriminated against, not...why would they be invited :)

so i don't know ask the organisers to invint a polish band.

they had Swiss there for a drum core act, so its nothing to do with ww2 allies.

As for WW2, plenty people here appreciate the polish as allies and fighters, in battle of britain, monte casino, arnhem etc.

[viewfourth]

what do you mean "this tatoo" there is only one tatoo.

and to answer your ? yes they have and i hope they fucked right of home afterwards.

[polskich]

learn to spell you haggis eating scots cabbage

[universalradio]

redhamish -- it's "drivel".

Someone did a study and found the pipes actually increase your adrenaline. I was always told as a kid that it's battle music - and my Gunn ancestors had a "battle" tartan. My grandfather played pipes and fiddle in PEI, Canada, was known as "Piper Jack", dad recalled him coming through a blizzard at 2 am playing pipes, 3 sheets to the wind.

[cjtweelz]

If you don't like pipes, don't watch.

[redhamish]

why are people on here writing such dripple???

the pipes are fantastic......makes me stand tall and proud,sans peur

[chadstur1991]

It's time, time for the SNP.

[Cyberwwwizard]

Edinburgh Tattoo is the fucking bollocks. The only one in the world worth going to - the right place and the only place that you can really sink into the atmosphere. You can NOT get this sort of entertainment anywhere else - if anyone says you can, they can't afford to get to Scotland, one of the best places in the world and fuck anyone who says different.

[essex68]

I served in the green jackets. english born and bred. but i love the pipes. Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end

[Northseafool]

I was in the Gaurds...didn't march as fast as you lunatics:) but you are right..it made you feel about ten feet tall and you felt like you could take on anyone:)

[dempsey088]

i posted a very similar comment to this just now on another pipes video. God save the queen.

[DasSneakyGerman]

Is that the Piobreach of Donald Dubh?

[ZnipR]

awesome!!! i like it that much! greetz from southern germany!

[Gonwyld]

I've attended a Highland Games here in the US and it's inspiring to see and hear over 300 pipers and drummers go off at the same time. I can't imagine what it would be like to see them in the homeland. Wishing I was there :)

[PURPLEBEATTIE1]

Come to Edinburgh in August and before you do have a look for tickets at the website for The Royal Military Tattoo.You will love it.Its amazing.The noise of the massed pipes and drums is something you will never forget

[Cyberwwwizard]

purplebeattie1 - your damn fucking right! The massed bands are fucking brill and those who haven't seen it haven't really lived much... Edinburgh Castle Military Tattoo is the ONLY one in the world that is genuine and worth going to from anywhere in the world. It's unique in everyway - where it is, who is there, and fucking everything else!

[derjillnoun]

As a Chinese born in Hong Kong under the British rule, I just love the sound of drums and pipes. Really brings back lots of good memory. Plan to go to Edinburgh next year to see the 'real' thing.

[EddieTheFishReturns]

I am British, but I was born and raised in Hong Kong (God's country!)

I'm glad the hand-over happened, because I wouldn't have wanted Hong Kong to remain under British rule.

No offense, but I'd hate for my home to go the way Britain's gone under its somewhat clueless Government. I have to live there now.

Great drumming, though! Bagpipes are the best!

[naomheanna]

us celts bring out the greatest music!!!

[Plodda1]

I think I can just see those girls from Taipai (or however its spelt) moving in the background!

[wavesrcrashing]

totally awesome i love to see and hear them close up.

[arandomusername]

Nothing btter than the massed pipes and drums, if theres one goal in my life its to get to edinburgh to see the tattoo...

[DaveDaDeerslayer]

I remember watching this every year growing up, especially the lone piper at the close, it brought mega tears to my eyes seeing this, thank you for sharing.....

[kiupilu69]

I've been there in 1996. It's always a big big big emotion to see videos of those fantastic moments. Scotland the brave!!!!!!

[mylittleworld563]

This is excellent, i wish i could see it this year but i'll hopefully get to go next year. Also have to agree about the Royal Tournament, I've only seen bits that are on Youtube.

[apophos2000]

that would have been awesome to have attended, would imagine it also being quite deafening.

[Mattythewelshman]

Nah it isn't deafening, the atmosphere there is great though. Been to the 06 and the 07, not going to the 2008 one though :( but 09 I certainly plan on being there. I just wish they'd bring back the Royal Tournemant.

[Factnotfictionpeople]

I don't reckon you'll get the Royal Tournament until this bunch of clowns ('New' Labour) are kicked out - and even then I reckon it'll take some doing! Remember, its not 'PC' to celebrate one's military history/might! Pah!

[Cyberwwwizard]

factnofictionpeople - you're fucking right - get rid of New Labour right fucking now. Those cunts (yes, all of them) have ruined this country just as the ring leader (Gordon fucking useless cunt Brown) wanted. They arrest conservative members only for doing their job, they ban BNP members and say they're racist, but they aren't - check their website, and they're fucking corrupt - prove me wrong - no one has so far. Royal Tournament was at Earl's Court annually - fucking good stuff!
