This song pushed the previous song from the top of the popularity charts for a National Anthem.
Scotland the Brave is now commonly used at both international football and rugby matches and has come to represent the spirit of this nation. The drone accompaniment is wonderfully present whilst the chanter is heard playing the delicately ornamented melody.

It is quite possible in Scotland The Brave to hear the characteristics of the Highland Pipes in their full glory. The British Columbia Dragoons (Canadian Airforce), have chosen this tune as their official march for clear reasons. It has unofficially been adopted as the National Anthem for Scotland such is its popularity. Scotland the brave is perhaps the best known Scottish bagpipe song. It is thought that The Black Bear is probably over one hundred years old but the composer of the piece is not known. There are rumours that the origins of the piece stem from a sailor’s hornpipe and rhythmically, there is certainly a gentle swing that could indicate navel connections although I am doubtful. Note that this composition is not for a single pipe but for massed forces accompanied by drums making it a very powerful and evocative piece. This tune is amongst the most famous as it has the enviable reputation for being the fastest regimental march used to signal and accompany soldiers home after exercises or manoeuvres. 6 Great Bagpipe Music Pieces You Should Listen To I am going to take a glance at some of the more celebrated bagpipe pieces for the remainder of the article and hope to offer some places to explore this unique and historic instrument. Many of the well-known bagpipe tunes are heard but not always recognised. Each has very different characteristics and tones worthy of exploration at the reader’s leisure. In terms of British forms of Bagpipe, there are the famous Scottish Highland pipes, the Scottish Lowland Pipes the Irish Union Bagpipe and the Northumbrian Bagpipe.
The range of most pipes is not more than an octave but there are a few types that can reach a two-octave span. This pipe can play a variety of tones as there are usually holes in the pipe with which the performer can create melodies over the drone. The drone provides an accompaniment to the ‘chanter’. Often on the bagpipes, there are drone pipes that are tuned to produce most commonly, the tonic or tonic and dominant notes. These instruments produce their sound from a reed inside one or more pipes with the supply of air coming from the performer who continually fills a bag with breath that when gently squeezed produces the tones. The instruments are known to have been used not only in Europe but in Asia too.
