  • NO to FRANCE & SCOTLAND ! IT is the CELTIC People of Thee Highlands , Lowlands and Midlands of all the GAELIC , That Fight for all our GAELIC & CELTIC Family's !! The Stewart's & Jacobite Have Shamed us all !! ( OH FLOWER OF THEE GAELIC LANDS ) We will never stop Till we have FREEDOM FOR ALL & EVERY GAELIC CELTIC FAMILY !!!

  • The cool thing is i'm scottish.

  • Excellent music and you did a fine job of bringing together so many historical pictures.

  • I'm inclined to snarl at and spit upon "the auld alliance" -- but who knows? Although the French left us hanging in the Old Country in; 1746, they were indispensable at Yorktown.

    Alba gu brath -- and Vive la France.

    Grrrrr....

  • @MaggieWestBean oh and the princess from the movie "Braveheart" in real live she attacked scotland... yeah lol and she was french xD cheers lad Alba Gu Brath

  • I would like to hear "The Celtic Woman" sing along.

  • I thought i heard "bruces Adress" in there too... maybe i'm just hearin it cause i played that song 5 times today xD

  • Even at Culloden ther more Scots on the government side than English and the Jacobites also had Irish on their side so it is a lot more complicated than it first appears and a lot more effort to understand than the "haggis western" Braveheart puts it to be never the less its home and i love the bagpipes all the best.............

  • Episcopalians. That is Scottish Anglicans who saw the monarch as the Head of the Church, refused to countenance the deposition of James VII, and opposed the Presbyterian settlement for the Church of Scotland. There were of course Scottish Catholic Jacobites (several Lowland aristos and a few Highland Catholic clans) but for most Scottish Jacobites they lent support to the Pretenders despite their Catholicism not because of it!

  • I recommend the West Highland area, that's where the real scenery is.

  • @Faxe90Swe thanks for the tip i'm going there next summer it feels like home to me... most of my family was from there and i love the country :D

  • I'm not Scottish, but this is an absolutely beautiful tune. I love the bagpipes.

  • Alba Gu brath! proud to be a scottish highlander! i wore my kilt to school one day...with out any boxers on.... well teacher didnt like it when i jumped in class that day haha of course this was back in america so everyone was like "scottish" what the hell is that? memories when i was a kid i always loved the bagpipes and i started about 2 months ago! its hard work learning but it is an amazing instrument and fun to play! all of you thinking about playing an instrument give it a go

  • I am a decendant from the campbell clan and we fought along King robert the bruce

    and some of us fought for bonnie prince charlie

    i am proud to be scottish

    i am proud to be a campbell

  • One last charge lads! into the fray our lives forfeit. charge for old Alba! fight for your ancestors that lived fought and died in scotland! Play the pipes hammer the drums! play louder here the enemy comes!

    R.I.P scots that died in the wars for scottish independance

    R.I.P men that died at culloden moor

    R.I.P scots that died fighting terror!

  • @DrinkToIreland

    Um, they didn't quite die for Scottish independence if you refer to the Jacobite rebellions. They fought for Catholicism and the "Pretender", or a number of pretenders. As for the medieval times the Scots terrorized the English just as much as the English terrorized Scotland. Braveheart is one big anachronism. In any case the modern concept of independence wasn't even and idea back then, people fought for their patrons.

  • @Faxe90Swe i know braveheart is 95% false history and that they fought for the jacobites and bonnie prince charlie who was catholic so he coudn't get on the throne so they started fighting for him

  • @DrinkToIreland

    A Campbell? So one of your ancestors may have participated in the Glencoe massacre. Nice. Have you been to Scotland?

  • @Faxe90Swe not yet i was born in america unfourtunatley but i am going to visit this summer i feel like it is more of a home to me i don't feel at home in america :\

  • @Faxe90Swe "A Campbell? So one of your ancestors may have participated in the Glencoe massacre" Mind that is unlikely as there was seemingly only about a dozen Campbells in the ranks of the Argyll Regiment that carried out the attack - and there were actually about half a dozen MacDonalds in the same force!

  • @DrinkToIreland There were was some Campbell Jacobites (just as there were Hanovarian MacDonalds) but the big bulk of the Campbells were anti-Jacobite. Some exceptions but the southern and northern Highlands tended to be more Hanovarian. The central Highlands and islands tended to swing towards the Jacobites. The north-east Lowlands tended to have strong Jacobite support whilst most of the rest of the Lowlands were mostly Hanovarian. Edinburgh itself was a bit of a mix-max.

  • @gaconnochie spot on mate :D

  • @Faxe90Swe " if you refer to the Jacobite rebellions. They fought for Catholicism and the "Pretender" The history is often more complicated than you think though! Jacobitism usually meant Catholic in England or Ireland but Scotland was different. There simply weren't very many Catholics in Scotland. The religious element of the strife from the 1640s right through to the 1745s was in Scotland mostly Protestant on Protestant. In all of the Scottish Jacobite rebellions the bulk of the rebels were

  • @DrinkToIreland

    Ruhm und Ehre für all' die Schotten, die nach "Culloden Moor" für das "Vereinigte Königreich" (= United Kingdom) Blut und Leben gelassen haben. Eine Anmerkung sei erlaubt: Waliser, Iren, Schotten und Engländer sind, den Kommentaren nach zu urteilen, zu Recht stolz auf ihre Vergangenheit. Und was ist mit der Zukunft? Meiner Meinung nach sind Waliser, Iren, Schotten und Engländer nur zusammen(!) stark.

    Viele Grüße aus Deutschland.

  • @ElDraco53 i have no idea what language that is xD sorry but im sure what you wrote is good

  • @DrinkToIreland

    Thank you very much for your post. I have written in german, because my english is to bad. what I have meant is, all welsh, irish, scotts and english are proud of their own history and heritage. And that is right. But in my opinion it is also right, that welsh, irish, scotts and english are only together(!) strong.

    Are these words correct? I hope so.

    Best wishes from Germany.

  • @ElDraco53 i agree i am very proud of my scottish ancestory but i have welsh irish scottish and english friends so you are correct

  • Comment removed

  • @ 4:36 that guy will make you have a bad day!! :D :D

  • I am scotch/irish and damn proud and i also play the bagpipes :) i want to learn this song

  • Can anyone please tell me what kinds of pipes these are playing? I want this tune played live at my funeral!!! Thanks

  • I think Scotland is God's favourite land in the entire world...

  • I am Italian but the scotts bring real emotion to death. Nothing brings out tears more than a good bagpipe. Thank you Scotland! MY name is Dan so when I die, I will have bagpipes play "oh Danny boy". Its going to be glorious.

  • @TheCrazyeyeskillah It's "Scots" not "scotts".

  • @TheCrazyeyeskillah Danny Boy is more of an Irish Tune but thats cool..

  • What Regimentalmarch is this one? I guess it is not The Black Watch... Moreover I would say threre are at least five different marches starting at 3.51

  • What Regimentalmarch is this one? I guess it is not The Black Watch...

  • we should be wearing blue coats...the red is just rubbing a thousand years of oppression in our faces..

  • okay.. question .. Where , on what cd can I find this tune? another youtuber posted some more tunes and they were supposed to be on one cd. I tried to order said cd, according to the cover he had posted. well the cover was the wrong one, so I ended up with a cd I didn't want or like. on said cd are other titles , among others, the following " the piper's welcome"; "the steampacket"; "The mill", "Green shamrock shores" Do you know WHICH one it is I need to order? thanks a lot!

  • The one Highland Regiment that wears "trous" is the HLI (Highland Light Infantry).

  • you can have each other, just get off our island if your gonna start breeding

  • 8 englishmen watched this video ;)

  • @dizzhonest And one Frenchman likes this beautiful music

    Long live For Scotland and perhaps i hope your independance ? :p

  • @Franceblanc

    Thank you very much, an auld ally!

    Vive la France!

  • @dizzhonest Indeed the Auld Alliance is here

    Power for the Alliance enter France and Scotland !!

  • @Franceblanc Sadly, the French often made promises they never kept. If they'd joined the Jacobites in 1745 as promised this nation would have different rulers. We were betrayed.

  • @Franceblanc I'm not sure if you know this or not but all French citizens are also citizens of Scotland, a by product of the Auld Alliance. Unfortunately we Scots aren't citizens of France, meaning I'll have to take a citizen test to have dual nationality. Vive La France mais Saor Alba aussi.

  • @Franceblanc Alba gu brath! Vive la France!

  • is that robert the bruce in the first picture of this video?

    im english but i have so much respect for the scottish love bagpips

  • Trews look awful lol

  • nope. im from the philippines.

  • someday i would like to meet a scottish . im asian so it would be a honor. ( i ve got french blood too)

  • @TheGrimreaper214 are you a viet?

  • @TheGrimreaper214 omg we are same!!!! well not quite im half french half thai

  • @potterypott cool mate!! nice to know that!!

  • @DmitryFrolov1 The bravest men to have ever walked into battle wore kilts you arrogant basterd. Think about that before you call em skirts.

  • @TheHighlanderGeneral Relax, dude. As long as he didn't pull a bad mother joke or something, there's no reason for that language.

  • @MartinCrossbow what language you thin skinned motherfuck

  • @TheHighlanderGeneral That language exactly.... Don't start insulting people like that. My mood ís much too good for you to get under my skin with that tone - which perhaps is the word, I should have used in stead of language.

  • @MartinCrossbow youmadbro?

  • What kind of bagpipe is that first one?

    Thats not a Great Highland Bagpipe.

    It sounds more softly.

    Sorry for bad english if there are misstakes...

  • I don't think cowcowkaukau is referring to the guy in the kilt when he says gay soldier

    at 1:53. If you look at the two other soliers (without kilts), it looks like one of them is

    grabbing the other's crotch.

  • @runrig31 If that's the case, then he's just protecting his friends package from harm. (not really a thing I'd do, myself).

  • The last person that called them a skirt, I kilt.

  • @bufferman1 Nice.

  • @bufferman1 THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

  • A bayonet from a Highlander would pierce the 'gay' commenter - right through the spine.

  • Although they are in skirts (the national costume), but they were real men)

  • @DmitryFrolov1 plz do not call it a skirt, its a kilt my friend

  • @jaredsbling Yes, I know, simply because of their unusual costumes, some think of them wrong.

  • @DmitryFrolov1 we wear them as an american would wear a suit :)

  • Bagpipes are very beautiful instrument.

  • I would love to hear the "gay" remark made face to face. You would learn why they are called "The Ladies From Hell"

  • Oh, Burns. You fill a sorrowed heart with joy, and a joyful heart with sorrow.

  • can someone tell me wat the name of the painting is in 1:33

  • ah do i Lust amidst the wooing of ye ol maiden bagpipe, awye

  • @zam4ex - This song is a bout a horny girl got into trouble (became pregnant) because of having too much fun. Now she tries to console herself by blaming men for all the miseries in her life. Note that she overlooks her part of the responsibility that caused her this trouble. If she practiced some self control and good judgment, then she could have easily avoided this trouble.

  • Das ist ein Wunderbare lied. Danke! Ich liebe es!

  • Alba go brach!

  • british by birth but scottish by the grace of god

  • @cameron997 Are you from clan cameron?

  • @jacquob1 no mate my first name i9s cameron im from clan craig

  • Where did you get this exact song from? My Father wants it but can only find the live pipes version of the song.

  • @ginnycatlin It is one of Robert Burns poems, Ye banks and Braes o' bonnie Doon which you can find if you google to research the tunes. The second poem is Scots wha hae (who have) with Wallace bled, also a Burns poem.The third poem is A man's a man for a' that, again by Burns.

  • Where did you get this exact song? My dad wants to buy it but it not be live pipes.

  • @cowcowkaukau Very gay :D

  • @cowcowkaukau wtf how do mean gay soldier? XD

  • @cowcowkaukau Haha, oh man

  • Comment removed

  • @cowcowkaukau Those soldiers are not gay. They are just really, really British.

  • @cowcowkaukau

    Well, it is an Englishman,

  • @cowcowkaukau mahu

  • Hey guys! This is a great piece of music!

    Greetings from HUNGARY!!

  • Lads, I'm 3/8 Scot, 1/8 welsh rest is cornish and english blood

    What am I?

    British I guess

    I'll have a scottish bonnie lassie as my wifey!

    Free Scotland

  • Thats cool. Im an Anglo-American, but have ancestory from Ireland, Scotland and England, as well as Finland. Damn proud fo me roots!

  • The kilt actually originated in ancient Egypt.

  • Wrong, the Kilt is a purely Traditional Celtic peice of clothing, not to be confused with wraparound cotton skirts like what Egyptians and some east africans wear. also the tartan of Celtic kilts is completely unique, unlike the simple solid coloured Wraparound skirts.

  • Oh dear, another American who knows it all lol! The Celtic kilt is certainly unique BUT the word kilt was used to describe the wrap around loincloth worn by Egyptian men. So what is your family tartan? Dress/hunting?

  • thats true. I think the kilt is a highland tradition. However, all celts used tartan, the colors represented the klan an individual was from. That is an old practice the celts did. i use to think it was their pants that had a certain plad or tartan etc... I dont know a whole lot about it but I know the kilt is highalnder tradition more so than irish, or english/welsh. Maybe im wrong?

  • Napoleon lost at Waterloo, right.

    So, the jokes on him.

    The first picture in this video must be Robert Bruce on the horse. I recognized the second two paintings are from R.R. McIan's book "The Clans Of The Scottish Highlands." The piper

    is the painting of the MacCruimin clan, and

    the guy with the sword is clan MacLachlin.

  • napoleon said it best at waterloo... has wellington got nothing to offer me but these amazons? in reference to the highlanders.

  • He said that in the movie, yes, but im fairly convinced he didn´t say it in reality.

  • Is the call for independence widely spread among you Scots, or is it only a minority, as in Northern Ireland, that find independence very agreeable?

  • Many english are all for independence too, as are welsh and cornish people. I think by now the majoirty of genes in britian are so mixed that they are all british to the bone. I must be, however Im American. Im speaking in reference to my ancestory seeing it comes from all over the British Islands, and Ireland as well. Im pretty proud of it. Iv learned to stay out of the whole Uslter vs. S. Ireland and England vs Scotland. It seems that shit will never end lol.

  • @seamuspowers

    Rule Britania my friend!!

    sadly in Scotland atm we have the SNP fatcats who want independence... >:(

  • ach weeeshd, independance is a birth right

    the empire is dead, gone capoot

  • Hehe, your slang almost sounds like Swedish or Norwegian.

  • @Faxe90Swe Thats because most of us are from norwegain and maybe swedish ( the viking's) i know i am from clan Gunn, Norwegain name,Scottish clan.

  • @owilson1972

    Yeah, I know. In a greater perspective, all Germanic people are from southern Sweden and Demark. But it´s still quite remarkable to see how close we are linguistically.

  • @Faxe90Swe awricht pal best wish'es tae Sweden fae Scotland :-)

  • @owilson1972

    Bästa önskningar till Skottland från Sverige (Best wishes to Scotland from Sweden)

  • @Faxe90Swe Oh! an moan the VIKING'S ;-)

  • arent scotis not a tribe from east ireland settled down to nowadays scotland??

  • @RagingBull2A , the scotti tribe from the ulster area of northern ireland invaded pictland (after murdering there king) and forced celtic culture upon the people there.

    Even in the time of william wallace and the braveheart most people didn't class themself as scottish.

    The pict are surrounded in mystery as to their background but by looking at their building's and standing stone monuments and the fact they used rune's for numbers and words!

    They were norse mixed with brythonic natives.

  • and mare tae the point, if you have somthing to say get yer pathetic arse tae glesge university an il gee ye suhin tae cooer fae

  • independence:? these bawbags up here hivnay stoaped kiling each ither yet

    hoo the fuck kin they expect indi when they irnay feenished killing each ither???

  • Don´t you want independence?

  • 'Tis a little-known fact that while the Black Watch Regiment and the U.S. Marines began as honored enemies in the War of 1812 they later became long-time friends in war and peace, so much so that the Watch honored the U.S. Marines by registering an official Leatherneck tartan for them in Scotland. I have a kilt and acouterments in that plaid, and am very proud of it. And my wife's maiden name was Stewart.

  • thats cool, but i thought it was the rangers that are widely respected over there? I hear the Army Rangers in ww2 were trained by royal marines? However, Im glad Britian and America's military contribute alot amongst each other even though we have our 'differences'.

  • Have to laugh at the so called "insults" thrown at us Scots from basically insecure lesser mortals. The "skirt" thing is as old as time and ineffectual as other nonsensical rubbish we hear all the time from idiots who think they are offending with their childish jibes. Seriously folks, change the record eh?

  • From an American with strong Scottish ties. Well said. Those bastards can shut the hell up.

  • I don´t mean this as an insult, but the kilt is not of Scottish origin, it´s from northern England. And if you didn´t already know that, please check it up before denouncing me.

  • Northen England?!? that is Scotland you moron!

  • So you consider Scotland to be part of England? And I who always thought that it was two completely different countries that engaged in a union because one of them could not manage their economy! How silly of me, eh? I who thought that Cumberland and Northumbria was Northern England. Im so stupid, please accept my sincere apologie... moron.

  • Not only are stupid, but you can't spell either.

    :D

  • Apology, happy now. By the way, do you understand sarcasm?

  • I thought it was cetlic tradition, from the continent, the gauls used the same patterns, as did the irish and welsh. But kilts to me seem more 'highlander', maybe vikings used them to? I think its more to do with britian than anywhere else though.

  • Nice to hear from you again! I can´t claim knowledge of the original people that started this kilt-business, but from what I have learned the tradition reached England (Cumberland and Northumbria) before it infested itself in Scotland or anywhere else in Britain. The English then seized wearing kilts, maybe because of the same reason that made them stop speaking French in the Court, and hence kilts are only associated with Scots and irish, though it was likely the English that introduced it.

  • Its a possibility. But I think its more 'celtic'. However the kilt itself is more British I would say. Many vikings had them as well so maybe the two groups both used them, but kilts survived longer in scotland. The welsh and irish sometimes wear them, but the irish arent known to wear them, nor the english. welsh do but its more scottish.

  • the romans wore their own version too.

  • @Scotsbell Couldn't have said it better myself :) Atleast we Scots kicked ass eh?

  • it was all so to tell which clan you came from or belonged to my clan tartan was green and yellow .i think ?

  • mines is blue , green and black

  • the second song, regimental march, is called the athol highlanders. It's a jig

  • thanks

  • why scots  wears skirts?

  • Kilts, bro, they were probably used

    1) to look badass

    2) to distinguish different clans.

  • Primarily to look badass though... because you know your fucked when a man whos confident enough to wear a skirt comes after you

  • Damn straight.

  • Yeah, during World War I the Germans called the Scot Brigades the 'Ladies from Hell'.

  • @smarzotais Damn right a man in in a skirt comes at me in public I know I am in for an ass kickin from hell. Actualy I am full German my family cam over after the war but I have a few kilts.... Comfy really

  • Because they are confident enough of their manhood to do it. They have nothing to prove.

  • Aye mate SKIRTS thats what they were called in the first world war. DEVILS IN SKIRTS by the enemy

  • in WWII they were named The Ladies From Hell

  • I think you mean World War 1?

  • Devils in skirts.

  • i dont know why, but back then in william wallces day, they probably wore pants underneath them too. It was cold there, and especially when one would go on long marches to a battlefield. What shocks me is that the highlanders wore them, I thought southern scots didnt wear them but i think i might be wrong?

  • All the highlanders and scottish reg'mts I know from re-enacting do not wear pants underneath. The only time they wore pants into battle, they lost. So, the vowed to never wear them again.

  • @jonnyherb2000 you renact what lol any way its a personal thing if thay wear pants ! my grandad was a major in seaforth highlanders

  • @jonnyherb2000 Which battle was that where they wore pants and lost? :O

  • @jonnyherb2000 thats so handy... when you need to piss, you only need to lift up your skirt

  • @jonnyherb2000 when they wear pants underneath they cannot open their gut cannons.Enemies succumb to scottish smelly guts.Over yrs their culture had been BLOWJOBS.....men blow bagpipes,most of their women are escorts blowing willies and in war they blow their guts.2nd world war nazi germans were influenced by thier gut gases also.They mix them up with phosgene to gas the jews away to Israel.Since then israelis oil their penises 4 arab gas resources n` try to blow them away.So goes scottish guts.
