Edinburgh Pipe Fest 2005

Edinburgh_Pipe_Fest_2005This is basically one clip which I took from the 2005 Pipe Fest. The problem I had at this time was that to shoot in high quality footage, I only could film 30 seconds or so and then the memory stick ran out so after this, I gradually bought more memory which took a while. The event featured the biggest mass of pipes and drums ever seen anywhere in the world at any one time. It broke the world records as I'm aware. The event took place in Holyrood park, Edinburgh and featured a day of marching and finished when all the pipes played together which was slightly off timing to be honest but the sound and beat of the drum could be heard from a few miles away. To find out more about this event and others similar, check out; http://www.pipefest.com/ This video is 10.8mb so should load after a few minutes

The Third Session of the Parliament

The_Third_Session_of_the_ParliamentIn June 2007, the Scottish Parliament began it's third session and to celebrate the Queen, Parliament and People of Scotland with a day long event beginning with the old Scots tradition of the Riding which in 2007 started at the top of the Royal Mile and continued down the Mile to Holyrood Park, outside the Parliament. The Queen gave an address to members of Parliament which was then followed by a outdoor music concert called 'Picnic in the Parliament' which was a free event attracting many people from Scotland. The day felt very Scottish and I felt proud to be there. I noticed however that the turn out could have been better but most people don't have so much connection with the Queen. I went along to film the event and to celebrate my country of Scotland. This film took a week to edit so I hope you like it as I put quite a bit of effort into this one.
