Highland Cathedral is a popular bagpipe tune written by German musicians Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb.

Chorus:
Land of my fathers, we will always be
Faithful and loyal to our own country.
In times of danger we will set you free,
Lead you to glory and to victory.

Lonely the exile, o'er distant seas,
The home of their birth, gone from their eyes.
Bring back their souls o'er the ocean breeze
To the land where their fathers lie.
(D.C.)
(Words by Ben Kelly)

Great lyrics!

Lonely the exile oer distant seas.

The home of their birth, gone from their eyes.

Bring back their souls oer the ocean breeze

To the land where their fathers lie.

Highland Cathedral (Ben Kelly 1990)

Land of my fathers, we will always be

Faithful and loyal to our own country.

In times of danger we will set you free,

Lead you to glory and to victory.

[EpicPaladin]

While listning this song tears welled up...

This remembers me all the lost soldiers who set Europe free..

Land of my fathers, we will always be

Faithful and loyal to our own country.

In times of danger we will set you free,

Lead you to glory and to victory.

True words...snik!

Wonderful stuff! Constantly amazes me the power of this instrument. It can stir the emotions and bring shivers down the spine even when listening on line. If you are lucky enough to hear massed pipe bands in a Tattoo it is overpowering.

Visit the Edinburgh Tattoo and hear the real thing. {I am not paid by the Tattoo to promote them - just a fan of Pipe music.}

Love this tune reminds me of my mum scottish and proud often listen in to remind me of her mum i love you god rest

[kelgels]

I have been lucky enough have seen and heard it live a few times, done by local pipebands, that are no wear near this standard or even Edingburgh Tattoo standards. But regardless of how it is played it is a beautiful piece music especialy when it includes the brass instruments. I too would loved to have been there to witness this. If only I could find a professionaly recorded version of it live on you tube unfortuanatley the Adelaide tattoo is the best close up one I have found.

@elouwen Bloody oath. We had this as our wedding song, as I walked down the isle. This version is crap

[hamishray]

Visit Annan in Scotland for the Riding of the Marches, this is played by massed bands at the evening parade.on the first Saturday in July. It is a truly beautiful piece of music.
