THIS is the moment a Scottish pipe band bought the famous Grand Central Station in New York City to a standstill.
The 48 member band surprised commuters ahead of their appearance in the New York City Tartan Day Parade.
The North Lanarkshire Schools Pipe Band decided to grab their instruments when passing through the iconic train station and ended up gathering a crowd of thousands.
The band uploaded a clip online, which has already been shared over 7,000 times and generated almost half a million views.
Grand Central Station’s manager shut the flash mob down after two songs - Scotland the Brave and Rowan Tree - but waited until the full song was done, assumedly enjoying the show himself.
Pipe Major, Ross Cowan, said: “It’s our first time in New York and we wanted to make the most of it.
"Grand Central Station is one of the busiest spots in Manhattan so we figured what better place to give the locals a taste of Scotland ahead of our appearance at the New York City Tartan Day Parade. We certainly attracted quite the crowd!”
