Album Description
The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards is Scotland's senior regiment and her only regular cavalry. The band members, as well as being trained musicians, are all Army soldiers who crew tanks and have served two tours of duty in Iraq. The album, both Scots and classical tunes, is a tribute to the dedication and talent of this group of military pipers. While they are first and foremost soldiers, the music on Spirit of the Glen is a heart-warming and beautiful demonstration of the incredibly powerful and emotive sound of bagpipe music. Some album highlights: the McCartney popularized #1 single, Mull of Kintyre, Amazing Grace 2007, a reworking of Rod Stewarts `Sailing,' and film themes Dances with Wolves & The Last of the Mohicans.

 Verra, Verra, Disappointing January 3, 2009
In buying this album I expected bag pipes - especially with Amazing Grace, a beautiful composition that has been mixed with a contemporary sound, as much of the rest of the pieces. It appears to be extremely difficult in find hauting, soulful, bag pipe music.
 Best yet by the Guards January 1, 2009
I bought my first Guards CD while on a trip to Edinburgh-it came highly recommended by the shop owner, and I was not disappointed in the Parallel Tracks cd. I love bagpipe music and have a lot of celtic rock cd's- but this is one of the best. Would appeal to anyone, however, that isn't a bagpipe fanatic-great to listen to without being "easy listening". Loved the vocal tracks, especially Caledonia. I have to listen to it nearly everyday just to get my day off right. You won't go wrong with any Royal Dragoons CD but this is definitely their best!
Second Cd of the Guards I bought during a Visit to Ayr November 26, 2008
I had heard the Guards many times, of course in more movies then I can count, or can I?, but they are amazing and this was the second one I bought (Auld Lang Syne being the first) and I absolutely was amazed by the breadth and heart in the songs, I as a result have pruchased the dvd to acoompany this cd so I could now watch the Guard perform as well.
If you love bagpipes or just want your heart to soar and your feet to start swinging without you then give this a listen.
Perfection October 30, 2008
Lots of bagpipe music that is on the market is exclusively pipe and drums - not so here. The Guards are backed by an orchestra and are joined by vocals in some of these pieces that make up one of my absolute favorite CDs. I bought this originally wanting to hear the "Last of the Mohicans" theme that I read about through other reviewers. Let me now add my praise to theirs. This theme and the other pieces combine to make a very emotion filled and memorable album. That said, I wouldn't call it music to relax to, but it's an incredible achievement and I'm very happy to have it and look forward to buying more of the Guards music.
 I don't know enough to say much but I did like it September 7, 2008
As a person who knows nothing about instrumental music, especially of the Gaelic variety I can only give my general impressions of the CD. It was enjoyable to listen too, fairly relaxing and not irritating. I realize this is not an impressive review but that's really all I have to say.
Four stars.
