    They are not only impressive, they are well-trained and damned fine fighting men. We trained with elements of the 5th Scottish Parachute Regiment in a joint operation in the mid-1970's.
    I would have gone to war with them anytime.

    In the 1980s the Black Watch came to the tiny town of Bencoolen (Bengkulu) on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia and they marched with their bagpipes this tune. The whole town turned out. It was the most exciting event since Independence. Even now when I feel low in spirits I listen to the Black Watch and immediately cheer up. There is really nothing as uplifting as bagpipes.

    At least there is The Black Watch (RHR) of Canada to carry on the traditions and history of a very proud Regiment. It is an honour to share the name of such an illustrious Regiment. My father, all his brothers (3) and all my mothers brothers (4) were in the Canadian Black Watch during the Second World War. One of my mothers brothers was buried over there. I served 18 years in the Regiment as well and left as, what you call Colour Sergeant. Proudly Canadian first and Black Watch second.

A Fijian colleague once mentioned to me that there were some Fijians in the Black Watch, I hadn't given it any thought until I saw this. If their families could not make it to the march past then I hope at least they get to see this vid.

    My grandfather was a lieutenant in the Black Watch who served in the 1914 - 1918 great war.
    He led men over the top, with bayonets fixed. It is a great regiment and the men who continue to serve today are upstanding, noble, and honourable. God bless them. It is very good to see the local population in Dundee connecting with thanks for their efforts overseas, and thanking these brave soldiers who uphold their national values.

    As you saw in that film the Company taking up the rear got out of step, it's very common because the sound is delayed. It happened at the Queens Coronation parade, I actually started it by holding a large disc up so the troops fell in along the Mall could see it and knew they would march in 5 minutes time. I served from 1947 to 1973.

    During the Indonesian Confrontation in the early 60s, because the British supported militarily the creation of a new country called Malaysia, formerly Malaya, thousands of Indonesians stormed the British embassy in Jakarta. The British military attache in full Scottish military regalia marched to the front lawn playing Scotland the Brave on his bag pipe. The sound was enough to frighten the hostile crowd out of their wits. No shot was fired and British honour was upheld. All our military bands in Malaysia have bagpipers as they do in India and Pakistan. Needless to say I enjoy pipe music enormously.

    As a former American soldier, who feels a shiver run thru my body, and a desire to run and join them, when I hear a military march, and see soldiers marching, I do aver, the British Military has a show of elan, a strut that no other military has. Their music, their appearance, and their pageantry are a class act. God curse and destroy the sorry IS admirers, the politicians who embraced PC diversity, and those responsible who have enfeebled our culture so that such fine young soldiers can no longer walk proudly, in uniform, among those they protect.

Canadian Military is a joke now. we fought so hard for the respect our military deserved just to have it thrown away by corrupt government.

I gave you evidence and yet regardless of every idiotic reply you have offered up nothing to verify your ideology of what is British ( English) is but I have!! Based on that sole fact you can carry on getting angry as it's obvious you are. Everyone else is wrong and fuckhead Farrell is right. The history of these nations is far beyond your understanding simply because you haven't actually studied it. The Celts and Gaels of Ireland, Scotland and Wales have been around for 32 thousand years prior to the modern day English who have been here for about 3,500 years. BRITAIN WAS INVENTED DURING ROMAN TIMES AND IT MEANT ENGLISH AS I HAVE ALREADY EXPLAINED FFS. Celtic identity in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland existed long before it so British it is not!! Keep gibbering though as it's hilarious to see a childish gobshyte in full retarded flow. You

      You can see he is an aristocratic inbred idiot, but a brave and fearless idiot. And his men will follow him to hell and back. Mon Dieu the Legionnair mumbles. Now we're in trouble. The Scots. They will not stop mes amis. Not untill we're all dead or untill they're all dead. Fuck that, Tiny says. I'll make a start then. That strotting peacock is the first. Make them eat lead.''

    Dundee born and bred, but ashamed to say I missed this, though was probably at uni when this was going on.
    Had many family members going back to the Boer Wars that were in the Black Watch; had I seen this live, it would have been incredibly moving for me.
    Anyway thanks for the upload!

    A very interesting clip: It has everything. A fine band of fighting men, marching with purpose through the streets: the rattle of the snare drum, and the bagpipes sending out the Black Bear [ return to barracks ], before an adoring crowd lining the streets. Two youths eagerly keep up with the troops as the last section march through, and an old man finds a place finally to cross the road.

      Just one item, when Scots troops wear the kilt, they also wear White gaiters, this was to mark a retreat, but carried out in the best Scottish tradition, they ran out of footwear, tore up blankets and sheets, and used that to save their feet. So, the history of the White Gaiter.

My uncles were in the RN and the RAF and 1 in the Irish Guards,. Seeing this is really amazing. I remember my mom telling me that her father would always go home for rememberence day. He passed back at home just hours after a parade, dressed in his kit. He was taken to Lands End and buried in the plot. Seeing this the pride in the regiment is inspiring.
