What song stirs your highland blood?

[pipesndrumsnun]

Definitely Scots Wa Hae!

[Redshank]

What ? nobody has chosen "MacDonald where's your trousers"

I would expect P1M's to be Campbeltown Loch

Had the piper at our wedding pipe my bride into the blacksmith's shop whilst playing the Skye Boat Song, so it's a particular favourite

Campbeltown Loch does stir my blood, och aye.
The Sky Boat Song is always good. Amazing Grace if it isn't being overplayed. And The Rowan Tree doesn't stir my blood, but it soothes the soul.

For me, it has to be Scotland the Brave, and I love hearing Charlie Zahm sing it, as well as hearing it played by massed pipe bands.

[Macman]

There are so many, but "The Black Bear" does it the most for me. It brings back memories.

I have a CD on which the Simon Frasier University Pipe Band plays Pachelbel's "Canon" that almost works.

Ohh, that sounds good.

[TheKiltedWonder]

TO make this pan-Celtic, "A Nation Once Again", "The Foggy Dew" and "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" are all songs that stir my Irish blood.

[Ozman1944]

For me, any taditional pipes Playing at a Parade, wedding, funeral etc. gives me a thrill, the more pipes the better. 'Bonny Dundee' is always a good starter. The only 'Amazing Grace' I like is the one with about fifty pipers playing in unison. Awesome!.

'Skye Boat Song" puts me in a very mystical (and misty) frame of mind.

And 'Will ye no' come back again' makes me homesick for the Highlands - except I've never actually beem there. Maybe it's in my DNA.

[Mael Coluim]

Many good selections. I would have to put Scotland the Brave as #1.

The Skye Boat Song has a special memory for me. In 2003 As we rowed our Irish curragh, The Colmcille along the coast of Scotland one of our crew Peter McLeod from Skye would ofton start singing the song. We would row to Peter's singing. Awesome!

I would also have to select in my top three, Minstral Boy.

Londonderry Air on the pipes does it for me... althought you can't exactly say that it stirs any Highland blood....
