David Attenborough: And here, we see the peculiar mating ritual of the Scots.

absolute mad respect for the guy skipping while playing. many people don't understand just how hard that is so hands off to him (both of them did fantastic of course)

I searched "two guys bagpiping aggressively at each other" I'm not disappointed

These dudes kilt it on stage.

That, was completely awesome, Loved the bit where they actually played a few notes of the original dueling banjos. 10 for 10 all the way

I can't tell you how many times throughout the years I've enjoyed this skit. It always puts a smile on my face.

This is how marriage should work. You walk up to a woman and play the bagpipes to her. If she likes your song, you become wed.

I'm not Scottish, but I've travelled to Scotland several times because I love it. These bagpipes bring tears to my eyes every time I hear them, especially on a remote loch or island where you don't expect to hear them. The sound carries far and blends with the wind...

If you hear dualling pipers piping you've gone to deep into the highlands. " There can be only one"

Excellent piping, guys!! My Dad had a piper on his squadron during the 2nd world war and fell in love with the sound. He could play any instrument by ear, and wanted to learn them. He was "instrumental" in bringing a piping teacher to our small town and he, my sister and brother all learned to play. Dad is gone now, but my siblings still play and are both pipe majors. I was a Highland dancer and taught for a long time. I really enjoyed this! :-)

F**king brilliant, the sound of the pipes always sends a shiver down my spine and you can understand how enemies of the past would shit themselves when confronted with a hundred pipers before a battleaxe was even yielded...

When two scottish Regiments meet on the Battlefield, but no one wants to kill the others, but the Pipers hate each other

Gotta love the age-old ritual of Love expressed like this. Kudos to all involved in it.

If all war/disputes could be solved like this

As English as I am, and being a tenor drummer in my younger days,I just love the sound o’ the pipes!

Nice to hear those bagpipes being played. They have a peculiar sound no other instrument can make. I have never been to Scotland or England for that matter but perhaps someday I shall visit those countries.

Why is a kilt called a kilt? Because a Scotsman kilt the last guy that called it a skirt.

A perfect blend of Scotland and Appalachia!

Both of you lads are awesome!!! Been a bag pipe player for 50 years!!!! AWESOME!!

I love how bagpipes sound.

Safe to say she's gonna find out who has faster fingers 😏

Bagpipe music opens my heart...love it !

I can watch that video, almost everyday, and it never gets old. I have never been interested in the bagpipes, until like six months ago. And, I am fifty now. These two guys definitely know how to play them pipes. They were definitely jamming in that set. I would love to see the rest of this show, what ever it is.

So skilled, loved this, a joust with bagpipes. Well done all involved. Thank you.

Wish this was longer, especially the faster parts, I LOVE those, if you listen to them you can't help but smile and at least tap ypour feat to the rythm =)

And she was never heard from again... sorry I meant “she never heard again”

I never tire of watching this. The skill involved is exceptional.

1:43 "Hey! You never grab another man's chanter!"

Playing the bagpipes has two modes "this is good music" or "oh gawd kill me." This is good bagpiping. What I can't get over though, when they're circling each other they look like tom turkeys.

Still listening to this in 2022. Cheers 🍻

pure joy to watch and hear. thank you.

Being of Scottish (Drummond) and some Irish descent, I have always loved the pipes, since I was a literally a baby. Dad used to take to the NC Highland games at Grandfather Mtn every yr. I am a singer but no talent with instruments- could never learn the pipes but I tried. My youngest sister is a damn fine piper. Played for my wedding, she plays for weddings, funerals, etc... I listen to the pipers from all over the world, many cultures had their own versions of the bagpipes but nowhere truly compares to Scotland (though Ireland comes close lol). If there is music in the afterlife, then it better be bagpipes lol Btw these two are damn good, props to them

The girl had the easy part. All she had to do was stand there and look pretty. And she did a damn fine job.

That was very lovely. good music too.

I absolutely loved this performance. 👍💪

I love the sound of the bagpipes. That's why i play them for 20 years. i'm not Scottisch, I live in the Netherlands. I'm playing traditional and also in a Scottisch Rockband named "Sassenachs". Really, it is stunning when you cross bagpipes with rockguitar & bass!

This is so awesome! I love the sound of the bagpipes!

Having played the pipes in the Army many many years ago (3RAR) I just can't imagine the practice these 2 guys put in to this.., well done.

Really, really, really cool! I don't normally like this sort of thing, but I stumbled upon it randomly here on YT and I'm glad I did........well done! :-)

Dueling bagpipes right into Smoky mountain breakdown fuck the hell yes.

Whish, i would be able to play this instrument. Love it.

awesome. love to see the skill in these young men. thanks for posting

It was splendid!! Those young lads were flawless

Stags locking horns in Scotland :)

Groundskeeper Willie: ach, that's a beautiful lass!

This is what we call piping hot! Talent here outshines most. I never miss College piping at my Daughters school, every Tuesday. It warms my heart we have carried on this tradition.

I love listening to the bag pipes! Awesome

plot twist: they both end up impressing each other so much that the two of them get together, leaving the girl behind.

I watched a lot of things to get here. Worth it.

Love the premise & who but a heartless soul wouldn't play their lungs out for her. Wink

Anytime I listen to bagpipe music, makes me miss my home Canadian province, Nova Scotia, also known as "New Scotland". If you ever visit Nova Scotia, especially Cape Breton Island, Northern Mainland Nova Scotia, and the Halifax area, you'll often hear bagpipe music, especially during social, cultural, or even some sporting events.

me laughing. that's funny and with a silly story to it. great job, guys! LOL ^^

Hilarious. Beautiful. Relatable. And the amount of skill and practice needed to reach such a level is impressive. Great job. And a cute ending to boot.

So long ago, local rough pub, 2 Scots Guards pipers, joined with a country band, totally ad hok, they could play any thing, I will never forget,

I like to pretend we live in some 80's or 90's sitcom and this would be a real scenario happening. So Dope.

Now that was cool.

well that was simply beautifully romantic as well as funny,,well done guys that was real fun to watch and listen too,,

THAT is an absolutely GREAT video. Dueling Bagpipes would have never occurred to me , but I Loved it, and such a classy ending as well.

this is how wars should be fought...

I like Scottish culture,so beautiful :)

Wow, this is great! Talented pipers!

A mighty Pretty Young Lass, Pride of Scotland

damn that scottish girl is beautiful

I think i figuered three songs out after some research via the Internet: 00:41 - Old Wife of the Mill Dust 00:51 - The Gravel Walk 01:02 - The Masons Apron (I think they play it to the end of the video ... they just speed it further up) Sadly i dont know the first songs =/

Great! my roots are in scotland and i love this playing

I just clicked because of her skirt but now I love bagpipers. Btw in France we say ''Cornemuse'' for that instrument. I just found that it's a funny name

they played the Mason's Apron, I dance to that song!!

That was awesome. Plus either they're good actors and well rehearsed or there was genuine rivalry there.

AMAZING gentlemen! Well played!!!

Wonderful. Just a wonderful experience.

Personally I was expecting the two pipers to leave with each other.

awesome fight for the girl with bagpipe music

We have long list of races of people in my family background. Scottish and Irish are part of my family background. With bagpipe I am so proud to see Scottish man or Irish man in a kilt. It brings joy to my heart and my soul. I love you my ancestors from Scottish and Ireland. Keep wearing those kilts with respect, pride, love, joy and peace.

Guuuaaauuu que maravilla 👏👏👏👏👏. Muchas gracias

Im not Scottish or English, but I still like it!

There's a college of piping? I have clearly chosen the wrong college to attend.

That was fun to watch!!!! Thanks for posting!

Dang! Bagpipes are AWESOME sounding ! :)

Tickle me tickle me you know where... Under me kilt and in me hair🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Merry Christmas All!!!

Here in America, we have dueling banjos, in Scotland they have dueling pipes. I think we all know who wins here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

So beautiful and touching amazing you guys gotta be proud 👍

The dude in the crowd going "COME ONNNN" at the end lol

I was expecting the lads to become so enamored with each other's playing that they walked off together & left her standing...

congratulation verry performer

Ah yes, two lads bagpipe battling for a pretty lass. Perfect.

I love this so much!!!!

I was like "One of em's about to riverdance." None of them do. "Dangit!" XD

The speed he played masons apron on his knees was unreal

really love it!!... a lovely bagpipe scotland

Outstanding performance by all.

Bagpipes are the only musical instrument that I can think of that appear "threatening". There is a good reason why England banned the use of this instrument to the Scottish and Irish for a long period of time. I have never been to Scotland or Ireland but my DNA is Scottish. There is something about the pipes that affects me. There is a swelling of pride and a defensive nature that results from hearing this instrument. The Scottish and Irish might take this for granted but I don't.

I was expecting a drummer to come out from back stage and she walks off with him!

Fantastic, very enjoyable.

Just great, loved it.

Be funny if at the end she grabs the pipes and outplays both of them.

For a girl like that I could play an entire orchestra alone. But I'm not sharing!!!

unbeliveble......amazing....I wish ....I could play This Way too

Amazing! Awakens my inner highlander.

And then Badpiper comes in with AC/DC Thunderstruck and the girl goes with him. That said, excellent playing.

I picture this happening in the time of the Saxons. "Oi! You, prick, we're gonna settle this right now. You and me let's go right now, pipes to pipes. May the best lungs win and most importantly..... Freeeeedoommmm"
