The sound of the bass when it goes past - only enhances my sheer passion for being Scottish.

I had this piece of music at my fathers funeral. He was not scottish, but he loved the pipes and drums. God bless dad.xxl

This is my idea of heaven, the pipes and the drums always in my heart from an English man. It sends a shiver down my spine and a tear to my eyes everytime. March 2021 🙏❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤🙏

If you're standing near them and you ever hear them. You will want to cheer them as you feel the glory there. Because the rhythm fills you and the drum beat wills you. And the music thrills you of the old Black Bear.

Never were there more awesome sights and sounds than those. Makes me very proud to be Scottish.

Been there numerous times and nothing is more spine tingling than this. Standing on the Royal Mile close up and personal sends a shiver up the back of this Sassenach! Nothing beats this.

Have to say that Black Bear is my favourite tune to march to. Not my favourite pipe tune but my favourite for marching.

I'm gonna ahead and say here that this video is one of the best on KZfaq. The best thing about it is really the last minute or so and it's such a shame it hasn't received more views because you have captured something very, very special here. There really isn't another P&D video on here that I've seen which is as atmospheric as this one. Just awesome. Thank you

This is exactly the feeling you get when you play and march in a pipe band. My favorite times were playing the pipes on parade and not in competition.

Cannot think of anything more stirring

i love that yelling on black bear march.

From Lord Lovats Landing to the streets of Edinburgh, may this beauty remain in all of our cultures, from Michigan, U.S.A. may God and the force be with you all

Fantastic my dad loved the massed pipes & drums .🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇬🇧

i love Scottish Pipes and Drums i really enjoy the music greetings from Hong Kong

Was at the Tattoo this year. last time when I was a kid with mum and dad. This year as a father myself with a teenage son!!!! Dread lol. He ended up foot stopping and clapping along. As the massed pipes marched out beneath us he said awesome dad can we come next year 2015. Blown away the magic passes to another generation. Thank you to Scotland.

Simply magic, it just sends a tingle down one's spine. The power and majesty behind some of the greatest names in the British Army, with centuries of history behind them.. Argyle & Sutherlanders, The Black Watch, Gordon Highlanders, Scots guards, Royal Scots Dragoons and many more. Such history and magic in those famous names, and long may they continue.

from the 1:11 mark this video is epic...many a soldier must've had this view heading off to war, inspired by the pipes & drums I'm sure

So enjoy playing my pipes to Black Bear. Best tune to march/return barracks, especially the beat and sound of the bass drum, really gets you going to march on

Been at the top end of The Mile, pressed against a door, when it was allowed before plastic security would stop You. Waited in The Ensign for My Mates, RMP, when high speed communication was the blackboard above the urinal, and it was military friendly A host of bandsmen also came in, where the practice chanters appeared from? No F'ing idea, the drummers beat out on the tables. At stupid O'clock during the lock in, armed with food, retired to The Corporals Mess, one of many memorable nights in The Castle, and beyond. RIP Tam The Gun. Then it starts to become a bit of a blur.😉🤫 But that was about 35 years ago, stamina and recovery were better. Black Bear, return to Barracks, is the Family Pipe Tune, for generations the new Father has burped The Baby carrying it like The Drones of The Pipes and humming Black Bear.

Am half English and half Scottish, so when the time comes for my cremation I want my coffin to be despatched with this alongside a stirring rendition of Jerusalem. Gutted that I won't be there to shed a tear!

RARE The original lyrics of The Black Bear Now when the pipes are ringing and the kilts are swinging. And your heart is singing as you gaily march along. You can hear the story that is brave and roary In the tunes of glory of an old Scots song. If you're standing near them and you ever hear them. You will want to cheer them as you feel the glory there. Because the rhythm fills you and the drum beat wills you. And the music thrills you of the old Black Bear. Brave are the orders we carry before us Brave are the hearts that will lift in the chorus Hear them playing, hear them saying That's the story in the tunes of glory When the pipes are ringing and the kilts are swinging. And your heart is singing as you gaily march along. You can hear the story that is brave and roary In the tunes of glory of an old Scots song. Brave are the orders we carry before us Brave are the hearts that will lift in the chorus Hear them playing, hear them saying That's the story in the tunes of glory When the pipes are ringing and the kilts are swinging. And your heart is singing as you gaily march along. You can hear the story that is brave and roary In the tunes of glory of an old Scots song. Brave are the orders we carry before us Brave are the hearts that will lift in the chorus Hear them playing, hear them saying That's the story in the tunes of glory If you're standing near them and you ever hear them. You will want to cheer them as you feel the glory there. Because the rhythm fills you and the drum beat wills you. And the music thrills you of the old Black Bear. Brave are the orders we carry before us Brave are the hearts that will lift in the chorus Hear them playing, hear them saying That's the story in the tunes of glory

black bear returning to barracks at the end of the day and scotland the brave!!!!

just imagine. standing. waiting. the cannons roating and raining hell all around. and then over it all, the plaintive wail and thump of pipes and drums. we're fucked.

Half Irish and half Scots born in England and named WELSH, OFTEN called a true Celt and so proud that it hurts when I hear pipes and drums, no finer music.

This is such a stirring tunexandxq fitting end to the spectacular Edinburgh military tattoo

One of the best videos I've seen

My father was a piper with the Argyle and Southern Highlanders and the later in the Black Watch as most of the battalion was killed in the Second World War love the black bear

Thank You for All your Wonderful videos

Great video 🇬🇧

I'm portuguese, we also have the "Mirandeses" bagpipe bands that played during napoleonic battles.

The fucking camera is shaking from the monstrous din of the pipes and drums... WOW

No better sight nor sound, just love it!

The best music from my homeland that I love

So proud of the black watch I was born in Scotland it will always be my home

Just fantastic! ❤️👌🏽

best on headphones

''Has Wellington nothing more to offer than these Amazons?'' Napoleon may not have thought much of them but any Army facing them and hearing the Pipes getting closer by the second must have been Psyched out to a degree.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

LOVE IT!!!! MY MY MY!!!! MOST ADMIREABLE WALK & MUSIC!! THE DRUMMING ALSO SOUNDED LIKE A HORSES HOOVING!! BEAUTIFUL ADMIRATION & CON GRATULATIONS TO THE BAND!!!!!!! THEIR STEPS ARE EXACT WITH THE GREEK UNKNOWN SOLDIERS NATIONAL DRESS THE EVZON WHEN THEY PARADE ON NATIONAL DAY!! WOULD BE A SIGHT WITH THEM BOTH TO SEE TOGETHER. WHEN CHANGING EVZON GUARD GO THEIR MARCH STEP IS PURPOUSLY HARD ON THE GROUND AS A SIGN IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO DIED TO HEAR THAT ABOVE THE GROUND THEY ARE REMEMBERED!!!

Just amazing that is the most amazing sound ever!

As someone who isn't a fan of bagpipes, I can only say the Black Bear can ONLY be played properly on by the pipes and drums.Other Scottish songs, you will find some good versions, but Black Bear...Pipes and Drums ONLY!!!It really starts the (half) Scottish blood in me racing... it even moves the (half) English blood moving a bit faster.

Im the band officer of one of the bands.

The sound is so good as well.

I lived in Musselburgh for 9 years. I wanna go back now.

Hoorah for old nosey !!

My grandad was in the black watch so li love the bag pipes

Einfach schön, sehr schön, dieser Anblick und die Musik. Ich fahre bald wieder nach Schottland, sie haben ein sehr hohen Nationalstolz. Armes Deutschland

Black bear is the best music

Can only imagine what it was like heading in to battle with the pipes and drums playing... hearing it roar over the hills of the battle field

Excellent!!

If my intuition is right the shout of "four squares" is from the battle of waterloo when the highland division formed up in face of the most intense cavalry charge in history by the French at Waterloo. Someone tell me I am wrong?

the going home march is great!

Love it!

Wouldn't it be fitting that they lead the funeral of Sir Sean connery

Fantastic video, so close to the action. Love how you got behind the drum corps (you scallywag). It gives us an unusual aural perspective.

I will always. Love scotland

YES YES YES YES 1 2 3 4!!!!Remember to yell!!!!!!

Imagine a soldier marching behind this is what he has to see every time he's in marching collum

Fantastic

ON YOU FUCKING GO LADS!

Fantastic ! Greeting from German

I wish my family had Scottish mixed in our family tree. I would love to attend one of these performance one of these days.

Goosebumps

....and again and again ....love this .

13 people either have bad aim or no souls

I love blackbear it was my grands army

What a sound...

B,ack bear is my life it is. Part of my life

Home 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

Can we get to this to loop for 10 hours?

SOLIDERS MUST HAVE BEEN SHIITING THEM SELF ON THE BATTLEFIELD WHEN THEY HEARD THIS COMING OVER THE HILL AS THEY KNOW THAT THE FIERCE SOILDERS IN THE WORLD WHERE COMING BEHIDE IT TO GET THEM

Right on cue, I'm in sentimental Scottish tears.

watching this - sooooo proud to be scottish

Awesome

haha true enough, in canada all of our cadets we shout "hoy" thats the only thing i have ever heard. if you want check out "blackdown cadet sunset 2011 part 1" and they play STB black bear at the end.

The Scottish experience.

Strength!

Love it.

How did you get so close? I was there several nights and the crowd wasn't allowed anywhere near them.

its like im there

My guy was just chilling in the middle

This for my familyin scotland

Scot land will always be my home

Ill be seeing it for the first time this year!!! I'm pretty damn fired up about it!!! American by birth-scotch by heritage!!!

What are they sounding off with?

fuck with us and this is what we will send to get you

I was always told in cadets by the Pipes & Drums corps that it was 'hey', but I think 'hoy' works either way. There's really not that much of a difference when it's 700 guys shouting it at the same time :P

Call me a dope if you want to, the shout "four squares", I think relates to the Battle of Waterloo, or is it the four Shildrons, defensive units, put up by William Wallace at the battle of Falkirk? Either way, I would love a Scottish military historian to explain?

Very cool.

No wonder the rest of the planet buckled under to the fighting Scot.These guys although fancy dressed are fear inspiring

The idea of freezing sperm was born in Scotland. "Scotch on the Rocks" refers to those ice balls hanging from a "good" Scot in the winter. As I have heard.

I wi ll ways love scotland

I'm an American soldier 12b 5th BT and I love the UK (Scotland) . If ISIS heard this coming over the hill they'd know the end is near. God save the Queen and God Bless the USA.

March into battle behind this,they are not just for show .

Ian I am pipe Corporal mike Lynch Glor na ngael pipe band Long Island Ny
