Nice tune for sure, but ironically it's not the bagpipe. What we hear being played in Braveheart is the Irish Uilleann pipe...yet the scene depicts a piper. This tune is not even remotely possible on the Great pipes.
i am half scottish and i would like to learn to play the bagpipes and play this song for my grandfather. does anyone know were i can learn to play them?
@cherokeecountryboy I don't know anywhere aournd your area who can teach you but I've tried to learn. It's a rather daunting task but not unworthy of a try. You start off with the chanter, then when you get good enough at controlling the sound and you play a few good tunes (2 or 3), then you go on to this thing a bit like the pipes but with only 1 drone then finally on to those glorious pipes. I'm not the least bit celtic in heritage but I just love how they sound! Good luck!
For those that don't know, if you like the sound of these pipes, they are actually Irish Uilleann Pipes. Highland Bagpipes are much louder and higher pitched. I know because I play them both. Nice video and song but you should change your picture:)
this is my favorite song of the movie and now when i hear this i will think of my best friend/brother who passed away last memorial day wken since he was a bagpiper.
schiltrom: It could have been the hotel of which you speak...I have a brochure of it somewhere in my storage...It was dark; it was a magical place...It is firmly entrenched within my mind...It felt like the edge of the world...
Very moving and beautiful...I once was on the northern tip of Skye...A bagpiper was playing at a hotel in the lobby...to no one...and there was a full moon over the sea there....I will never forget it, and you have brought that incredible memory back to me....I am a rock musician and choralist from California, and I thank you...

I love this Tune from the Braveheart Soundtrack.
Most a pity it is not composed and made for Highland Pipes but for the Uilleann Pipes. But the sound is haunting, nonetheless...

Aw, soundtrack from the movie "Braveheart", awesome sound. Too bad the movie portrays as a piper playing this on regular pipes.

I know this is really late, but that wouldn't happen to be the Floodigarry House hotel near Staffin would it?
