Ohh man, i love bagpipes too,i just cant figure out whaty that scottish song from "we were soldiers" was,its so adrenalin boosting...........

D_Plus_One · January 24th, 2005

That song is "Sgt. McKenzie" by Joseph Kilna McKenzie if I remember correctly.

Lord Lovat had them play "Black Fearson" when they came to the aid of the British Airborne at Normandy. "Campbells Are A Coming" is another good one. But being of Clan Donald I prefer "The March Of The MacDonalds". The pipes make the hair on the back of my head stand up and my heart thrill. I could well imagine marching to battle with their refrain.

BTW, The MacArthurs were the hereditary pipers of Clan Donald so you can probably guess who my favorite American General is.

Note to the Texans here: Houston is a sept, or clan within the larger clan, of MacDonald. So your most famous founder is important to me too

My unit has a pipe band, they are know all over the world.... And I love the Pipes and Drums... Highland Laddie and Blackbear are my favorite's when the Battalion is marching off.
But I don't think they will pipe anyone into battle anymore...

No, but the pipe will always be a part of the formal gatherings.

My best memory from my basic is marching back to shacks in a light raing, sun setting, all the while a pipe band was playing in the back ground. Shoulda seen us, our necks were 3 inches back through our collars

My grandad taught me how to play the bag pipes, I was less out of breath running 2 miles after playing the pipes for 5 mins!!! lol

Bear where in Scotland you from?

I always found them great to march to, but NO I never went into action with a piper they were not the sort of thing you carry in the Airborne. The last time I marched to pipes was about fortnight ago while carrying the Queens Colours on VE/VJ celebrations.
