Make way - The Black Watch are coming!

I’ve said this before, I’m English and very proud to be, but, irrespective of where you’re from, the sound and sight of Scottish regiments makes any normal persons hairs stand up on the back of their neck. These people are something to be truly proud of 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

My son served in the black watch he also took part in the Edinburgh tattoo one very very proud dad all the lads were gleaming 👏👏👏😊

As a United States Marine Combat Veteran I am deeply proud of my Corps' tradition...then I see these guys whose traditions started 200 years BEFORE my Corps...Damn I get goosebumps!!!!

American through and through, but my Scottish ancestry and Pipes makes my heart proud

Nothing stirs the heart of a man like the pipes.

My Father served in the Black Watch and hearing the pipes take me back to seeing him being emotional every time he heard them! You can’t beat the sound!

I’m English when I watch the Scot’s particularly the blackwatch with the noise of the bagpipes I’m honoured to be neighbours with such a proud nation of Scotland

Black watch are incredible powerful,i get emotional just hearing them they are simply the greatest

Served in the 42nd Australian Infantry Battalion, sister Battalion to the 42nd Blackwatch Battalion, we had the Pipes and 🥁 come over to Australia, marching behind them was the most memorable experience.

The Black Watch was our partnership unit at the end of my tour in West Berlin when the Berlin Wall still stood. One of the best parts of serving there was the opportunity to work with our British and French teammates.

I never truly understood , although moved by the skirl o' the pipes, {my dad was a Scot }.. but as a musician invited to play at an officers private dance & after party at a Naval base, they shook me to the core ; the officer organizing- motioned me out into a backyard where a dozen Black Watch pipers had assembled, ready to make a surprize spectacular entrance on guests. They were all very large brawney men ( Hardy fellows indeed dressed as you see here) all well over 6 feet and some 6' 4" or 5"--The immediate sense of masculine power & purpose, steely eyes & resolute demeanour was absolutely intimidating. As they donned their bearskins, appearing suddenly 8ft tall & with short drum roll they formed into a rank of 3men by 4 ; then the skirl commenced and their pipes rose into a crescendo , I had never before known such a feeling of fear that arose in me, as they marched forward in a slow step-march...Pity on all who were ever awakened at dawn to see & hear this howling Banshee tribe with claymores glinting & flashing in the first rays of sunlight. Arrrgh !

Great effort by The Watch! Superb- what a sight and sound. Nothing more impressive, smarter or formidable than the sight and sound of Highlander's on the march. Huge RESPECT from England.

I served with these guys from 1994 to 1998. I feel beyond honoured and my love of them and the pipes will always be with me. I will never forget the first time I heard Highland Cathedral. All the best to my colleagues and friends of the Black Watch. "SMELLEY"

Can you imagine how warriors through the years reacted when they heard this in the distance and coming their way!?!

From the English Midlands! Cmon Scotland!!!! Proud brothers in arms!!!!

I live in the US but am of Irish and Scottish heritage and I am so drawn to the pipes. Can't get enough of it!!!

My father was in the Black Watch, so it was a real treat to see his regiment in such fine fettle. Thank you for this and much respect to the soldiers.

Even the name of that regiment is awesome and the pipes and drums are astounding! Go SCOTS forever!

My father is a veteran of the Black Watch, serving in Cyprus fighting against Aoka terrorists. Makes you proud to be a Scot!👍👏👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

As someone who has played in Pipe Bands for over 40 years I love seeing the "behind the curtain" part of the Pipe Corps tuning up. The public always sees the finished product- a well tuned Pipe Corps- but doesn't generally see the process involved in achieving that. Thanks for posting this!
