Will be playing this song on friday night for the closing cerimonies for the National Cadet Biathalon competition, i play 1st trombone, and this is my favourite song to play, even though it murders my chops, great sound quality
Having trawled YouTube for the 'Highland Cathedral' melody, no-one does it better than the Band of the Royal Irish Regiment - What a shame they have since been disbanded! Where would I get an Irish Saffron kilt? :-(
There are actually a high % of Irish people from all over Ireland north and south that serve with the Royal Irish,they wear a shamrock on their Uniform,and remember RaydarUK,that a large amount of people from the six counties class themselves as Irish......great tune.....ALBA IS EIRE....
Actually, this tune was written by a German, but of course it refers to Scotland. The band in this video aren't Irish, they are Northern Irish and would probably identify with the Ulster Scots background, meaning they are from Ulster and of historic Scottish descent. This tune was used by the Ulster Defence Regiment, the Royal Irish Regiment and the Royal Ulster Constabulary. Remember Northern Ireland is part of Britain! No-one is claiming this to be an Irish tune.
Ehm isnt this a Scottish song and people are saying come on Ireland? Dont rage at me but im not understanding this, i know its irish people that are playing this though
Beautiful music, what ever type of instruments are being used!
"Fight nicely, children", and please watch your language! We all know some people cannot speak without using foul language, but must you type it, too? Shows your total ignorance! Grow up have some respect for others!
The music is so beatiful that I'm thinking of using it as a prelude when the Lutheran congregation I serve as Music Director celebrates its 125 anniversary in 2012. Should uplift all who hear it!
This kinda reminds me off all the ones that are fighting at the minute and putting their lives on the line just for us to live. SALUTE the soldiers serving their country now.
OMFG, Why is there Irish people dressed in Scottish national attire, playing a Scottish song on a Scottish instrument, and the Highlands are IN Scotland not Ireland, the Highlands never had anything to do with Ireland at all, the uploader either has bad spelling issues or is a plain retard.
@BuckworthJackson Scots are therefore not Irish and Irish are not Scots, simples!
Incidently, the "Irish" were only given that name in the 1600's by pope Leo X.
Modern Irish culture is a modern 1900's invention based on Scotland's traditional national culture, true Irish culture has been lost to the mists of time and never since been revived artificially, Unlike the Gaelic (Irish ver pronounced "GAYLICK") language post independence.
@segano1 They are not in Scottish national attire you should have a closer look. They are wearing Corbeens an Irish beret not a Scotts feather bonnett.They are also wearing a irish saffron kilt not a Scottish tartan and there badge is the Irish Harp not a Scottish thistle. Your ignorance is beyond words
@segano1 They are not in Scottish national attire you should have a closer look. They are wearing Corbeens an Irish beret not a Scotts feather bonnett.They are also wearing a irish saffron kilt not a Scottish tartan and there badge is the Irish Harp not a Scottish thistle. Your ignorance is beyond words. They are also playing the Irish war pipes not the highland pipes.
@mac6460 I am in total agreement with you, although the more correct spelling of Corbeen is Caubeen? and yes the major difference between the Scottish and Irish pipe is the Highland chanter is always open at the end and thus the melody is continuous. The Irish chanter operates principally in a closed fashion, making it possible to stop the sound, often imperceptibly. This allows for a vastly different fingering technique which can produce a wide variety of melodic and ornamental effects
@mac6460 The instrument being played here is the Great Highland Bagpipe which is a Scottish instrument, there are no longer any Irish war pipes in existence. Saffron Kilts, are a British Army invention bequethed to the irish regiments by Queen Victoria and based on the Kilted Highland regiments.
Nothing like a good bagpipe song to stir the Highland blood of the Scots. Can almost feel the history and the charge of the Highlanders towards the Brits. Alba gu brath.
No chance of bullying from anyone your all brothers in the regiment no matter were your from north / south east or west it don't matter we all stand together
anyone that was in the royal irish holds this tune very close to their hearts!!!! we mite of been home service but we are with our brothers in the 1st battalion!!!! faugh a ballaugh lads God bless & come home safe!!!!.
anyone that was in the royal irish holds this tune very close to their hearts!!!! we mite of been home service but we are with our brothers in the 1st battalion!!!! faugh a ballaugh lads God bless.

@icmeler1961 im thinking of joining cause i cant join the irish defence forces because our economy is dirt. im just wondering lad, is there much descrimination and bullying against lads from the south!?!?
And also...why are we playing it on the bagpipes...shouldn't it be on the uilleann pipes? I mean, yeah, the bagpipes are scottish, but if it's being played by us irishmen, it should probably be done on our pipes.
I have to say that while, yes, I am happy that the Irish regiment played this. It's just, being irish, and this being a scottish tune, just wondering why we played it. I know anyone from anywhere can play anything, just wondering.
I would like to say as a respectful American with a heritage of Polish descent, not Scottish, this is a very wonderful, elegant and heartwarming song!
I m only 14 but I love it because when I´m sad I can hear it and my heart is warm and I´m happy because it´s so great and beatifull song ( sorry for my worse english but I´ 14 and not really god in English) I love it and Ihope I´m not allone
@2qwerty i got it played at my dads funeral too. then flower of scotland. we al felt so proud of being scottish & proud of my father and always will my friend
Very wonderful indeed. Thanks so much to the poster of this thoughtful, beautiful and heart stirring display of warmth, pageantry, loyalty, dedication of these dedicated musicians. This is top notch and inspiring. God Bless them all. Peace. Salute.
Hi. I wonder does anyone know where can I get the musical of to the old programme 'Road To Wembley', where an instumental big band piece showcasing glorious wembley and the cup-ties. The last time I seen and heard was maybe 20 yeasr ago. Then it was bobby moore as the presenter. The tune is still fresh and audible in my heart. It's amazing tune and composition.
and i get even more proud, when i think about, that i can play the bagpipes too...sometimes i wish i was born in the uk or in ireland, just for the culture, nature and history...
I served with the royal scots dragoons, Royal irish, They are all hard core! A certain percent of the population will always stand up for freedom and liberty when you think its gone. Thats how history is, and thats how history shall be. But fear the leftist coward politisions who have never served!
hahaha very true. remember these composers aas amazing composers, and not by their race... remember that most of the Germans in germany didnt know what was going on during Hitlers tyranny. and it was because of the failures of the weimar republic that led to it
@SamuelChung94 Indeed, however, as Scotsman, I was just pointing out that this amazing song which everyone has associated with Scotland, was actually written by two Germans, and that's wonderful. To love another country so much as to write such a piece as this is truly inspirational, and I think certain people could learn a thing or two from knowing that fact.
@TheChiefEngineer HAHA true! lol i thought you said it was bad cuz it was written by two Germans. LOL my bad... ): but yeh people should also remember those that wrote the song. amazing piece of composition eh?
@narutosama91 Ja, aber es wurde zu einem schottischen, und zwar hochländischen, Thema komponiert. Es ist heutzutage sehr populär under den Schotten und Nordiren.^^
@narutosama91 Correct, and they wouldn't be the first german ones who composed a national anthem for a foreign country. Who wrote the anthem for Great Britain? Joseph Haydn.
@skypilot87uk i know the reason why it hits you when your not looking a bit like a good weepy film or the birth of a child on tv haha oh and from now untill the end of days we are now kwown as crying budys never thought i would get one of those but there you go haha see you soon
this has to be one of my most favourite bagpipe songs and i love it when i'm at a canada day parade or a remembrance day parade and u hear this song being played with everybody in perfect sync cuz the sheer power of this song when it's played well get the blood moving and u moving too.
That has to be one of the best versions of Highland Cathedral I have heard in a very long time.Well done bandspeople.Heaps better than some other versions here on youtube!!!! Yes I am a bagpiper and I know what I am talking about.
I was at the menin gate too ! what a day. soooooo moving. See everyone again in 9 years time for the 100th anniversary. The hong kong band version of this is a hoot. The running version !'
I was at the Menin gate too, and at the remeberance concert. I cant get this music out of my head. I was also been moved to tears. God Bless our Heroes. We will Remember Them.
Love this so much. 15 pipers played this a few days ago at the menin gate. The sound was very moving and we all had tears in our eyes. We will remember them.
Will be playing this song on friday night for the closing cerimonies for the National Cadet Biathalon competition, i play 1st trombone, and this is my favourite song to play, even though it murders my chops, great sound quality

Love this so much. 15 pipers played this a few days ago at the menin gate. The sound was very moving and we all had tears in our eyes. We will remember them.
