In 1994 I took my mother from Canada to the Edinburgh Tattoo. Her ancestors came from Orkney. There I was pushing my mom’s wheelchair up the Royal Mile. She had lost a leg to diabetes. A young police woman got a couple of lads to help me. Sitting in the stands I glanced at my mom and she had tears running down her face; we enjoyed every minute. The massed pipes and drums were amazing. The whole evening made priceless memories for my mom and me. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦

I‘m a german. When ever I hear the scottish pipes I feel the soul of this wonderful people ❤

If you ever hear the bagpipes on the battlefield, you'd better hope you're stood next to them and not infront of them.

There is nothing more inspiring than the pipes and drums. Proud Scottish Canadian 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I love seeing a country keeping its heritage alive and strong. Go Scotland!

Both my parents were of Scot parentage, I was born in England but when I hear the pipes I get a chill up my spine, and when I go to Scotland it feels like I have gone home.

Towards the end of the Korean War, elements of the Black Watch Regiment was marching towards the docks at Pusan, on their way home. The bagpipes could be heard for miles. It was an incredible sight. I shall never forget that parade. USMC (Retired)

I'm not Scottish, I'm Irish descent and I love the sound of pipe bands.

Every time I hear the bagpipes I feel I am being enticed to go back to the land of my ancestors in the northern highlands. God bless you all in Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿♥️

GLORIOUS! Nothing beats the Scottish for majestic spectacle!

I defy anyone not to be moved by the Massed Bands playing like this. Just wonderful !

The pipes make my heart beat faster & the tears flow..................missing my Dad

By far the coolest instrument on the planet.

Something Stirs Within when one hears the pipes and drums of Scotland. My grandfather an Edinburgh native ,brings tears to my eyes remembering him. Beautiful. Thank you.🙏🇺🇸✌️🥰

I have just died and gone to heaven with the pipes and drums. Magical spirit of the celtic sound. Dec 2019 🙏❤🙏❤

It's great that our small country has a huge national identity recognised worldwide.

Englishman here. Bagpipes, Scottish Regiments brilliant battle colours….but don’t forget the educational history, research and innovation of Scottish Universities…….beyond world class.

I love the scottish bagpipes since i was very young ... i am 61 years old now ... same feelings , same love ... forever and ever ... 😃🥰!!!!

I'm 53 yrs old and live in New York and have never seen the pipes played in person. I would have loved to been there to see this live. Simply amazing.

Being at this one was electrifying and magical. I had recently lost my dad (Military) and a friend paid for me and her dad to go as a surprise. What an experience. Thank you all for the hard work that goes in to it. ❤️🌹

We maybe a small island but the dedication of our army makes our hearts swell with pride no matter how often we hear the pipes play it makes us have such a pride in Scotland thanx for the music ❤❤❤❤

I was born an Australian but my relations come from the UK AND SINCE I WAS A KID IVE LOVED THE MASS PIPES AND DRUMS JUST LOVE THEM.....

I'm in love by Scotland and all the scots culture. The sound of pipes and drums give me goosebumps and make my hair neck stand up . Make me feel so emotional and proud and also make me feel sorry that I'm not Scottish.

Boy do they look good and sound exemplary, the precision, the uniforms, the colors, the music, love the bagpipes and drums. Excellent!

I mean my GOD, if this doesn't give you the inspiration to wake up everyday and do your very best I don't know what would!

The pipes played at my Mother and brothers funeral..they make me cry..There so beautiful..

Proud music. Love Scottish culture and tradition. Salute from Greece

I don't know if I have any Scottish ancestors or not but when I hear the pipes something happens to me and I tear up just great

Us kids got together for my parents wedding anniversary we sent them to the UK! My Dad was thrilled! My Dad had done a lot of work in London during the Second World War. They fell completely in love with Scotland! My Dad was a very strong man as he was a blacksmith. He was stunned by the fact that he could hardly lift one of their swords. 🗡️

God bless Scotland...this is warrior music.

This is the most fearsome tribute any country could have to their heritage, bravo to the mass bands and Scotland 👏👏👏👏

Happy 2020 everyone, ushered in by the glorious sound of the pipes!

Was there in 2012. The way the massed pipes and drums appeared half way up the esplanade out of the dark, playing Highland Cathedral was spine tingling.

The Edinburgh Tattoo is one of my favorite memories of my trip to Scotland in 2019. Seemed like it was all over in 5 minutes, the time flew by! Absolutely amazing! Helped inspire me to join a band and I have not looked back since!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I’ve always loved the pipes and drums, since seeing it on TV as a child, of all things a advertisement for Dewars! After that I recall seeing several movies with Scots in them. I put going to Scotland on my bucket list even before I knew what a bucket list was and we went in 2019, just before COVID arrived. Thank God that we were able to go. Edinburgh and the Castle were amazing. Next on the list is to experience the Tattoo. I already own 8 kilts and love wearing them on hikes and such. If I could I’d retire to the highlands in Scotland.

I am in Outback Australia, and I am decended from the Stuart Clan. Bagpipes get me everytime. Fucking tear up.

I have to admit this brings a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes, the pipes and drums are a wonderful sound and the sight of such impeccable military precision incredible

The most heavenly sounds 💖

I'm not Scottish, but there is something very moving about the sound of the pipes

Nothing can beat the haunting swirl of the bagpipes to arouse emotions. After all the were the prelude to battle in olden times.

I was there when this was filmed. Absolutely superb night out. If you get the chance to go to the Tattoo then go! Not just Scottish culture but it embraces all cultures and is way better live than the edited TV version. In the words of Billy Connelly, it well repays a visit!

My FAVORITE professor ever was of German heritage, born and raised in Maryland. He'd boost about how in the Middle Ages, German Knights were brave and looked tremendous in their suits of armor. But he said if there was anyone they'd fear on the battlefield, it was 100% the Scots.

so proud of my grandfather's and fathers heritage.

My Mother and her sister and brother were born in Dumbarton Scotland. My mom was the eldest and when she passed I had pipes played at her funeral outside of the church. The pastor did not approve of them in the church. At the grave side, I requested the Highland Call to War (Scotland the Brave) and Amazing Grace for the final salute and honor to her. My uncle a veteran of WW2 often reminded the family of the names the Scotch fighters who served with the troops. These fighters were known as “ The Ladies From Hell”. Long live the Scottish and the Highland Call to War. Amen

This song or ode brings my Scottish ancestry to the hilt, I’m proud to be of Scot’s dependance, proud to have served my country in my own way and deeply proud of each and every veteran who served, I have nothing but admiration for those whom gave the greatest sacrifice for we who are here now………. God speed and may yet rest in peace….Lest we forget ..

As a proud English man, who is hugely proud of his Scottish heritage, (grandad) I'm happy to say we go to Edinburgh as often as possible, my grandad was from Leith, and videos like this make my skin come alive with goosebumps, more please!

i only can say fking beautiful!!!! hello from Croatia

beautiful beautiful tradition!! love to Scottish people from México

What a wonderful music! So much respect to them and Scotland!!

I am from Fiji an island in the South Pacific was ceded to the British monarchy 1874 and had our independence in 1970. I have this colonial hang over and have a fascination to the British especially the changing of guards and military parade of various honour and look to this parade incomplete without the scottish guard and bagpipes. Exceptional sounds of music.

That sound! It resonates all the way to your soul. It was a battle cry, it was a shout of victory! Intimidated & struck fear in the hearts of enemies, & brought hope & course to those being oppressed.

Saints be Praised ... I am nothing but Goose bumps watching This splendor ... close to tears Too ...

The music that makes my blood flow free.nothing comes close to the sound of the pipes and drums🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

I am of Clan MacGregor and Clan Murray ancestry and I can tell you, it does something to me when I hear the pipes. I can remember well the pipes at my Grandpa Murray`s funeral. Awsome!

We all like to hear a pipe band as they keep to tradition...one of kind

hello , iam french 🇲🇫 i love Scotland , your country and songs 🎼 🇲🇫❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 for ever

goosebumbs all over me. Love the pipes

Im an American Indian, Kiowa...my tears are strength and joy.

God bless my Scottish grandmother. Her incredible strength sees me through this life. God bless Scotland and the Scottish people.

Whenever I listen to the pipes and drums, I'm moved to tears. I love them. I grew up in the mountains of Tyrol, far away from Scotland . However, there are some similarities between those two tough peoples.

Straight up and honest, I fail to see how ordinary humans don't find bagpiping to be ethereal!!

I love Scottish bag pipes though am from the other side of the Hemisphere, a small Melanesian country Papua New Guinea, South Pacific. Brings tears always when I hear. Albert Tawia

"You hear the pipes and either help or trouble is on the way."

Do you know that the most of the time it's a Scottish regiment that goes into the battle first and the Scottish soldiers are the best soldiers ever in the British army, but that's my opinion anyway a hope someone will agree with me on this one please reply if you do thanks

Beyond words! Thank you for uploading this video! Loving it in the USA.

I'm Clan Sinclair and I'm married to a piper, so this really gets me every time. I've been to Edinburgh 3 times - an incredible ancient city!

This is the type of sound that moves your body and soul and makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end

Descendant of Clan Drummond here! There's nothing on earth like the music of bagpipes and drums to make my Scottish blood sing.

My dad played the pipes in the sea forth Highlanders I can see him playing in the band brings back great memories sheer magic

I love the Scotland traditions.. so original

Arrrg that 71% Scottish Highlander DNA comes out in me every time I hear the pipes and drums ❤

Oh what I wouldn't give to see this in person! Saw the tattoo/massed bands at Stone Mountain, GA back in the 90s which was a thrill but, oh, to be in Edinburgh!

it's impossible to stop watching this..I am from Ukraine, but my eyes are getting wet because of this amazing sound of pipes and the state of people who are playing..this tradition is beautiful, I hope it will never stop exist.

I grew up in Edinburgh and my Mum, Dad and a few friends were going to the Tattoo. I was probably about 7 or 8. Gran was to look after us. I was just getting in to bed and my Dad comes in, "Do you want to go to the Tattoo? Put on as many warm clothes as you can". Being young I put on two pairs of trousers about three jumpers and a coat, hat and gloves (I lived in Scotland. Even at a young age, if someone says it's going to be cold then you know the thing is real). This was in the early 80's and if I had had a space suit then it would have been the best option. Whoever designed the seating was either a sadist or didn't know what the wind is like in Edinburgh.It blows under your legs I've said to people who were in a bad way before, " At least your not stood in an Edinburgh bus-stop in February". It was probably the most magical thing I have ever seen as a child. The castle, the sound, the smell of gunpowder, the fireworks and cheering and the crowd carrying you along and all good natured and happy smiles.

Nothing makes me prouder to be of Scottish desendant than this .😁❤️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

New Zealand born with Scottish roots.....love Scotland, love the pipes....... Alba gu brath Saor Alba

Outstanding! This is the most amazing footage of the massed Pipes & Drums & the Edinburgh Tattoo that I have ever seen! It felt like we were right there amongst the Pipes & Drums! Whoever filmed & recorded this spectacular Tattoo did a phenomenal job! Also, the Pipers & Drummers were outstanding, along with the magnificent Edinburgh Castle in the background! It was totally thrilling! Thank you for sharing this captivating experience! Brilliant!

outstanding, much love and respect for the Scottish regiments, bagpipes make the hairs on my neck stand up and give me goose bumps, such a magical instrument, brilliant.

Magnifique musique! Avec l'effet de masse c'est encore plus fort! J'en ai des frissons dans le dos!! Un gros bravo de France!

Im English but my Grandmother was from Glasgow n i love the Scottish .

Absolutely brilliant 😍👍🏻👏

Best march music to be found anywhere.

One of my earliest memories is Green Ants and having a Army Camp for a back yard, but the pipes is in my soul. Every time i hear the pipes i am take back to what I am not sure, but taken I am.

Senior drum major Mick Hay 1st Battalion The Royal Scots The Royal Regiment 1633-2006 sterling performance leading from the front. Legend.

Wir waren da und haben es gesehen, es war wunderbar. eine Show die man nie wieder vergießt. auch der Nationalstolz der Schotten, hervorragend. wir Deutschen haben kein Stolz mehr, dafür sorgen unsere Politiker.

you could bake me listen to the music of Scotland 24/7 and I would be the happiest person on earth. Scotland isn't just in my heart it's in my DNA.

My home land! So good to hear again! Miss my brother Anthony Lamont!

Welch ein genialer Anblick! 💞 Welche ein großartiges Spektakel! 💞

One word fantastic.

I am Scottish for the rest of my live I always have loved Scotland

If you cannot appreciate what you have just watched, you don’t deserve to be around those who did.

I“m so proud of my scotish roots! Greetings from Austria

Love the sound and great pageantry!

This literally gives me strength. My grandmother was Scottish. Now I get it. God bless.

Aaaaahhhhh!!! The Pipes! God Bless Them All !

GOD BLESS SCOTLAND GOD BLESS THE UK 🇫🇮❤️🇬🇧

As a true scot we will always stand side by side with anyone who needs our help, But god help you if you turn against us, as we will fight till the last man and woman to defend what is right.. . GO IN PEACE..

Great! This is real and mighty music. I love it.

Completely amazing. I'm American and love the perfection. Percussion guard to tell you to pay attention, and a bagpipe guard to tell the story. Love it. Thank you. Watched this many times. Live, is on my bucket list.

Freaking Awesome!!!!!!!! Thank You all
