Towards the end of the 16th Century drums and fifes became a recognised part of the military establishment. All Captains were required to have drummers and fifers in their companies. One of their duties was to ensure that all soldiers in the company recognised their company march. In the had for centuries been the mainstay of martial music, particularly in the Highlands. Contemporary reports from the 1630’s mention a in Hepburn’s Regiment of 36 musicians and refer to “The Scottish March” believed to be the forerunner of ’s Drums.

Throughout history there are many examples of military musicians raising the morale of fighting troops at critical moments in battle. Piper George Findlater on the North West unes and Songs Frontier of in 1897, Bugle Major in in 1899 and Piper at the on the Western Front in 1915, all of whom were awarded the . Indeed up to the beginning of the 20th century musical instruments such as drums, bugles and bagpipes were used to pass commands and orders during battle.

Soldiers have a rich history of writing and singing songs to raise morale and to foster a unit identity distinct from other . This publication is intended to list those marches, tunes, calls and songs relevant to the battalions of The Royal Regiment of Scotland.

5 The Royal Regiment of Scotland - Regimental Marches, Tunes and Songs regimental music

General With such a rich heritage, The Royal Regiment of Scotland has inherited a wealth of Regimental music for both the Pipes and Drums and the .

Music is an essential part of Regimental life. Each battalion of the Regiment has its own Band of Pipes and Drums manned by soldiers who receive their musical training at the Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming in . The Regiment also has its own Military Band formed from soldiers of the Corps of Army Music, and the 6th and 7th Battalions each have a Military Band made up of Territorial Army musicians. These Bands are known as the Band of The Royal Regiment of Scotland, The Lowland Band and The Highland Band of The Royal Regiment of Scotland. These Bands are an intrinsic part of the Regiment’s life and should be a first class advertisement for the Army and the Regiment.

Pipes and Drums The Pipe Bands are known as the Pipes and Drums and are divided into two sections: the Pipers under the Pipe Major and the Drummers under the . Pipers and Drummers are soldiers first and the Pipes and Drums has an operational role in each battalion order of battle. All Drummers should also be trained as buglers. The Drum Major is normally in over-all command of the Pipes and Drums although this can be the Pipe Major on seniority.

The Pipe Majors are responsible for the preservation and maintenance of Scottish and Highland tradition within battalions and for training the Pipers. They have direct access to their Commanding Officers on these matters.

Each battalion appoints a Pipe President who is an officer of field rank and responsible for the

unes and Songs management of the Pipes and Drums.

Military Band The Military Band is as integral a part of the Regiment. Within the Corps of Army Music the Band is the repository for and authority on Scottish music in all its forms. As such it has a crucial responsibility to maintain and build the repertoire of Scottish music, to keep alive the folk/ceilidh band tradition and to promote the work of composers who have served in one or other of the Scottish regiments (eg Alford, Howe, and Lamb etc). The Military Band is commanded by the Director of Music, normally an officer of the rank of captain, supported by a Bandmaster in the rank of WO1. The Territorial Army bands can be commanded by either a commissioned Director of Music or a Class1 Bandmaster, these are invariably ex regular Directors of Music. The Band may be detached on engagements away from the Regiment for long periods. In conflict situations the military band’s primary role is in support of the Army Medical Services (eg in 2003); importantly the Band’s musical contribution supports the moral component of The Royal Regiment of Scotland - Regimental Marches, T fighting power. 6 Regimental musicisgivendueprecedenceonalloccasions. occasions.

BONNIE LASS OF FYVIE There once was a troop of Irish dragoons I never did intend a soldier's lady for to be, Come marching down thru Fyfie, O. A soldier shall never enjoy me-o. And the captain fell in love I never did intend to gae tae a foreign land with a very bonnie lass And I will never marry a soldier-o. And the name she was called was pretty Peggy-o. I'll drink nae more o your claret wine, I'll drink nae more o your glasses-o. There's many a bonnie lass Tomorrow is the day when we maun ride away, in the glen of Auchterless So farewell tae your Fyvie lasses-o. There's many a bonnie lass in Garioch-o There's many a bonnie Jean The colonel he cried, mount, boys, in the streets of Aberdeen mount,boys, mount. But the flower of them all lives in Fyvie, O. The captain, he cried, tarry-o. O tarry yet a while, just another day or twa, O come down the stairs, Pretty Peggy, my dear Til I see if the bonnie lass will marry-o. Come down the stairs, Pretty Peggy-o Come down the stairs, Twas in the early morning, comb back your yellow hair when we marched awa, Bid a long farewell to your mammy-o. And O but the captain he was sorry-o. The drums they did beat a merry brasselgeicht, It's braw, aye it's braw, a captain's lady for to be And the band played the bonnie lass of Fyvie, And it's braw to be a captain's lady-o. O. It's braw to ride around and to follow the camp, Long ere we came to the glen of Auchterlass, And to ride when your captain he is ready-o. We had our captain to carry-o.

unes and Songs And long ere we won O I'll give you ribbons, love, into the streets of Aberdeen and I'll give you rings, We had our captain to bury-o. I'll give you a necklace of amber-o, I'll give you a silken petticoat Green grow the birks on bonnie Ethanside, with flounces to the knee, And low lie the lowlands of Fyvie, O. If you'll convey me doon to your chamber-o. The captain's name was Ned and he died for a maid, What would your mother think He died for the bonny lass of Fyvie, O. if she heard the guineas clink And saw the haut-boys marching all before you O? O little would she think gin she heard the guineas clink, If I followed a soldier laddie-o. The Royal Regiment of Scotland - Regimental Marches, T 26

THE MASSACRE OF GLENCOE

Chorus: Oh cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe, And covers the grave o' Donald, And cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe, And murdered the house o’ MacDonald

They came in the blizzard we offered them heat, A room for the night, dry shoes for their feet, We wined them and dined them, they ate of our meat, And they slept in the house o' MacDonald.

Chorus

They came from Fort William with murder in mind. The Campbells had orders King William had signed, And all through the order the words underlined, That named all the lives o' MacDonald.

Chorus

unes and Songs They came in the night while the men were asleep, That band of Argylls. the snow soft and deep, Like murdering foxes amongst helpless sheep, And slaughtered the house o' MacDonald.

Chorus

Some died in their beds at the hand of the foe, Some fled in the night and were lost in the snow, Some lived to accuse them that struck the first blow, But gone was the House o' MacDonald. The Royal Regiment of Scotland - Regimental Marches, T 28

THE LADIES FROM HELL

Sergeant they've caught me I've fallen The battalions who stand side by side As the gunfire sprayed over the clay. Then victory cannot be denied. Tell my mother and father I love them Your war is over young Private McCrae. Sergeant when this war is over And our Colours fly pinned in the ground. As the dawn breaks we bury our comrades Will the pages of history tell us And the winter snow covers the lair. Of the men who will never be found. Tho the TOS and the may wither But their names will forever live on The badge will bear witness you’re there. And on...... And on...... And on

We salute you goodbye one last time We're the Ladies From Hell Rest in peace we must head for the line. and The Royal Scot's as well With the boys from the Borders so fine. With our rifles in hand The Gordon's Bydand, we explore no mans land The Queen's Own Seaforth man Till the winter and darkness close in. Fusiliers and the Argyll's thin red line In the still of the night we move in for the fight And freedom for our kith and kin. We're the Ladies From Hell and The Royal Scot's as well The Captain says this is the big one With the boys from the Borders so fine.

unes and Songs We attack just before dawn. The Gordon's Bydand, Defeat and destroy is our mission The Queen's Own Seaforth man And remember our lads who have gone. Fusiliers and the Argyll's thin red line

As the night slowly turns into day Terry Moore The whistle blows and the Pipes start to play.
