To anyone watching, Minden Day, the proudest day in Borderers history and is on the 30 July 2011 and will be celebrated at the old HQ in Berwick on Tweed. Pipe bands and all the works. Minden Day is the regiments proudest day to celebrate the war in Europe turning against the French under Napoleon as the Borderers held their line and defeated a superior force ranged against them All regiment members will be presented with a rose as they picked them on the way to the battle to see each other

@MrCagivaman Thanks for this bit of history. Us US folks dont know much about Minden Day but I am going to learn. I sure knew I was hearing a good pipe band though when I shott this video.

@rmorecook You are most welcome. I have left the RAF now and fly for KLM in Holland but I remember the protests in my home town when the The KOSB were to be disbanded. 6 of my old school buddies served with the regiment and to say they were a bit mad at this was not far from the truth. Every school child is brought up to know the regiments history as most have a member of the family serving or have served in it. My dad was fuming at the disbandment, and he was in The Royal Engineers !!!!!!!!!

@MrCagivaman Hi Friend - most surprising to me is that there is little of them on YouTube. I am just an amateur videographer - an American - who had never heard of the KOSB. I simply had gone to this well respected Scottish festival and was thrilled at their music. I am so delighted that I have posted it to the net. Glad you liked it. Bob M Houston TX USA

This is one of the few appearences in North America by the regimental Pipes & Drums of the KOSB. Lowland Scots regiments are not as well known in USA as say the Black Watch and Scots Guards. Its very significant that they were taped here as not long afterwards they were merged in 2006 with the Royal Scots into the Royal Scots Borderers (1st Scots)The KOSBs are from 1689 and the Royal Scots a bit older from 1642!
