@tfcCOD4 : No good having a set of bagpipes in the cup board. The bagpipes are only the best musical intruments in the world if and only if they are played well !
Not a drop of Scottish blood in me but I love the plaid, Bay City Rollers and bagpipes, So as long as I can dream I dream I'm Scottish! Love the music thank you!
What's more intimidating? A regular soldier with a standard firearm, or a big burly Scotsman in a kilt playing his pipes in the middle of a firefight? -:)
@1995Scotsman Even if you were born with english blood, and a singe cell of the Scottish blood will kill it within 2 minutes of your birth and you sir, are Scottish.
There is nothing like bagpipes and drums. Imagine 42nd Higlanders marching into battle to drums and pipes, must be quite the moral boost and quite the opposite for the enemy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yeah, Germans do like when ground shake. We in Poland dont like, when Germans make ground shake, cause then Rusians have to teach you, where is your place on the map of Europe...so better dont watch it, my friend from Germany, cause it can only ends as a war. I dont know why, but Germans take such stuff definately too serious. They love to turn shaking ground by drums into shaking ground by fucking bombs from Krupps factory in Saarland or Ruhrgebiet. So Germans, dont watch it...
@FightingforTRUE I hope you're just trying to tell bad jokes, because if you don't you may end up being taught a lesson about modern Germany. Are you really that retarded to think of a thrilling video on YT to make a Nation march into war? It's either a bad joke or you're just a dumb fcking Polish thief. Your choice!
If any Scot does not get stirred by the sound of the pipes, you have to question why??? There is nothing to beat the pipes to create a swell in a Scotsmans heart!
The pipes are unreal man,always have been it is why they are played in *all* genres of music from hard rock(AC/DC) to classical.There is *no* mistaking that when you hear them you better well listen..to me they are wild sounding yet civilized all in the same instrument.
I'm english with some scottish ancestory being a Cooper. I get guss bumps hearing the battle crys of the pipes. It runs deep and i feel alive and pround. I'd march till glory behind the highlanders! Amen!
Can't everone stop giving history lessons!... im not here to read about history to the beautiful sound of bagpipes, but to read about what people think of the tunes, and how the pipers are playing, not about what everyone's nationality is so if ur gonna comment, at least tell the pipers, what u though of their playing
Appreciate your nationalism, mate, but the term "Britain" pre-dates the arrival of the English and may even come from the old term for the Picts of southern Scotland ("Prydyn.") We Celts are British, but arguably, the English are not.
Its so nice when you see a WW 2 movie, with british troops in trouble. That when bagpipes are heared, everyone knows that brave Scotish people are arriving , and so the british are instantie rescued :)
@Opethvince Dude, many Scots, including myself, have Viking blood in them since many settled in Scotland and were christianized. They considered the Scots worthy adversaries in battle and learned to respect these small but TOUGH people.
@Opethvince the vikings came to scotland tried to take over and found a people as tough as them so decided to become our friends and comrades. much love and respect to our scandanavian brothers
@Opethvince Dammit i know what you mean...born as a viking but living with scottish hearth and soul, i also wish to be scottish or maybe to have some scottish family members
I'm from New england, and to my knowledge, not Scottish whatsoever. And yet, I have the urge to go punch someone in the face and say, "DAMN STRAIGHT."
@Staubtier Your ancestory is gut aswell man. Thought some mistakes came from your past. Everybody has trials and error in military and government. Meine Ehre heibt Feher.
Roderick George Toombs (born April 17, 1954),[2] better known by his ring name "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, is a Canadian former professional wrestler and film actor currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment. Though being Canadian, due to his Scottish heritage he was billed as coming from Glasgow, Scotland but he was born in canada.
SO COCKSURE PRANCNE ABOOT WITH YOUR HEAD FULL OF EYEBALLS! COME AND GET ME I SAY, ILL BE WAITING FOR YA WITH ME OLD BRIMESTONE! IM A GRIM BLOODY FABLE, WITH A UNHAPPY BLOODY END! *boom* AHAHA OH THERE GOING TO HAVE TO GLUE YOU BACK TOGETHER....IN HELL!
I'm a Blackstock and of Scottish blood and I freakin LOVE the sound of Bag Pipes! Also Irish and my dad used to say every time he went to the toilet a lot less British.
@gaelscot The Highlanders learned forgiveness a long time ago, from the good book from the hand of godly Scottish men. They also learned strength, toughness and determination - but forgiveness is a great virtue and I think mercy and forgiveness is part of the Scottish spirit. At least, I hope it is.

@SvenDreyriAx A bagpiper came to my rugby match one time. Played during warm ups, Got me more amped up then listening to drowning pool let the bodies hit the floor or Eminem's lose your self. Also played when we scored a try. This is WAR MUSIC!!!!
@ltmatt90 The tune is the "Green Hills of Tyrol". It was composed during the Crimean War and was based on part of the Rossini opera "William Tell" which was set in the Alps. Andy Stewart wrote the words to "A Scottish Soldier" and set them to this tune. Possibly about a dying soldier at the end of the Italian campaign in WWII - but I'm not sure.
@reb0118 a scottish soldier dying in the Italian campaign, but the allied campaign in Italy was only in the south while tyrol is an area in the north of italy, I am thinking doubtfully about this...
@ltmatt90 Remember lots of songs hae what is known as "artistic licence" - they don't always follow th'literal facts of an event. However I do mind that British troops (including the usual large element of Scots) were stationed in the North West of Italy (Sued Tyrol) & across the border in Austria. They accepted the surrender there of the Prinz Eugen SS division (which is another story) and were in occupation for many years afterwards. Maybe a wounded Scot dying in an Alpine military hospital?
