All the glory and splendour of the Scottish Army. The most exciting moment of the entire Tattoo. I will never forget 1993, the last time that all the 7 Scottish Regiments were on parade together along with all the Regimental bands. That was a glorious - albeit sad - moment, just prior the first amalgamation.

The Scottish regiments are, along with the Guards, the diamond head of the Crown's Army! And their musics are the best

A grand entrance. It reminds me of the nightmares of the Wizard of Oz flying monkies that I had as a child.

@TheNaughtiusmaximus right you are 

[TheNaughtiusmaximus]

@TheDrummerboi94 actually, Mairi's wedding starts at about 4:04...note the change from the slow march "hero's of Kohima" to the faster paced reel - based tune... oh, and if there's any doubt there's a simplified version on wikipedia if you search for "mairi's wedding". it's "Dewar's spirit..." that starts at 5:03

@canadianbacon92 yep Mairi's Wedding
