In the early 1970s, I was watching the telly and I remember footage of a ruined building and the bagpipes playing a piobaireachd. I don’t remember neither the tv program nor the name of the piobaireacd but I’ve never forgot how mesmerisingly beautiful it sounded. Another time, in the early 1980s, I was sitting in the driving school’s car, waiting for my teacher and I told him he could take his time as the pipes program was on the radio. There was an Orchestra accompanying a piper playing a piobaireachd and they blended perfectly with each other. Again, so beautiful. I’d love to hear more orchestra and pipes.
McCrimmons have an illustrious piping heritage...probably the most talented in all of the great Scottish clans. Thanks for watching and commenting on my video
My favorite piobreachtd tune without any doubt. Those mournful notes go straight to the depths of my soul. As real as it gets right here! They call it the great music for a reason!
pipes always make me feel good even if its a dirge im a MacKay well when we were in the old country now its kays but my scottish pride will always be uplifted by the sound of pipes and drums
It's my mate that's playing in the video, I think he has a set of hendersons not sure but they sure sound great, he's a great player. Definitely, bagpipes are life and no one can ban that! cheers for watching glad you enjoyed
Piping is an ancient art form that has been around for many years. There were pipers who roamed around Scotland playing in the glens, but it was not until the clan leaders started to sponsor the pipers that things really began to take course. The MacCrimmons, a legendary piping dynasty from Skye were said to be the best, trained many pipers and set some standardisation in bagpipe techniques. Many of those who were forced to emigrate to Canada refused to leave without a piper.
First really good quality video of this, and its great you have this.. I'm a McCrimmon.... and my grandpa told me that we were descendants of Pipers.... So I thank you for putting this video up...
Great tune! Damn shame you don't have the whole thing, but those 6/8 vars are, to me, the highlight. Will have to learn this one someday. Love all of the high G work. A real challenge to get the most out of the Urlar in this one. The best part about this tune is that Patrick Og actually got to hear it as he hadn't actually died. It was written by his friend, Iain Dall MacKay (Dall apparently means "blind" FWIW) upon his hearing that PoM had died.
I love this song! I’m a descendent of the MacCrimmon clan (my great grandpa was an immagrant from Scotland) and love to find music composed by the clan! Keep on uploading these because I subbed for more :)!
You should look up the Piobaireachdan composed by Patrick Og, Donald Mor, and the other MacCrimmons of Skye, such as “Flame of Wrath for Patrick Caogach MacCrimmon” and “Lament for the Children.”
Superb.very well played my friend.are they hendersons your playing?.& yes,never let it be forgotten the debt that pipers owe the mccrimmons,if it wasnae for them,they refused to give up piping even when the English monarchy tried to ban them..I'm writing this while listening,I repeat,superbly played!
I just stumbled across this while researching my family heritage. I'm a Mackay and I've just found out that Iain Dall Mackay was my Great (x6) Grandfather. I would love to learn more about him and also about the history of piping in Scotland and Nova Scotia. Do you have any tips of good sources?

I love the sounds of the bagpipes. The spooky setting and that eerie melody makes a great pair. Well done

Rekindles the ancient Scottish Spirit. A much endeared tune . Cheers!!!
Just heard Fred Morrison play this great tune in Oban tonight .
Out of this world.

I know as a MacLeod (McLeod) the macCrimmons were the pipers of the clan.
A common tune for those Scots leaving their homeland for Canada was “Beloved Scotland, I Leave Thee Gloomy”
Descendant of Clan Gunn here.. excellent lament, very powerful!
Fucking beautiful. I lost a friend recently and immediately went to this song for closure
God watch over this woman
Very nice. Laments always bring tears to my eyes.
Excellent recording! Love the high G's.
Exellent .....Splendide !!!!!!
Y love the tune

Young Patrick , atmospheric lament ⚔👍
Lovely sound from pipes. Superb. One of the more demanding piobaireachd works to play. Like the sound from the high Gs.
An acoustic jewell, thanks!

It really is a great tune. And thanks for the really interesting story about Patrick, I haven't heard that before.
Thank you for watching:)
Amazing, I’m a MacCrimmon myself, and I feel very passionate about this!
I have a book of the exact music, it’s amazing. ❤️

Most beautiful, one hears love and sadness. The echo is perfect - where was it played?

I believe I read once that the ancient old Mac Crimmon pipers would embellish some notes with as many as 14 grace notes ,can you imagine THAT sound???
what you believe or not believe does not matter here.
