National Anthem: Scotland - Flower of Scotland (Constituent Country of the United Kingdom)

- Flower of Scotland is a Scottish song, used frequently at special occasions and sporting events. Although there is no official national anthem of Scotland, Flower of Scotland is one of a number of songs which fulfil this role, along with the older Scots Wha Hae, and Scotland the Brave, amongst others. It was written by Roy Williamson of the folk group the Corries, and presented in 1967, and refers to the victory of the Scots, led by Robert the Bruce, over England's Edward II at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
In 2004, lawyers for the devolved Scottish Parliament advised that it was within the legal competence of the Scottish Parliament to choose a national anthem for Scotland, countering the suggestion that it would be a matter reserved to the Parliament of the United Kingdom. This ruling prompted some interest in the idea, and a petition to the Scottish Parliament's petitions committee supported by the Scottish Green Party was referred without recommendation to the Scottish Executive who chose to take no action, considering the issue not to be a political priority. There have been subsequent attempts to re-open the debate on a national anthem for Scotland. - เพลง
This is a beautiful anthem. I love you Scotland from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️🏴
Respect from Russia🇷🇺🇮🇪🏴👍
As a french, i join you in your hatred of brits

My ancestors were Scots. I am proud to be of Scottish descent and I love the song and Scotland.
i agree
:)
aye mate
Same my family is a descendant of Scottish royalty
I hope to one day visit the home of some of my ancestors.
For those who don't know, the proud Edward being talked about can either be Edward I or Edward II (alternatively, it's both), kings of England who William Wallace, Robert Bruce, and Andrew Moray led the charges of the Scottish clans against. The song has underlying themes of the bravery of the Scots during the Scottish Wars of Independence.
I feel like the lines "O'er land that is lost now, Which those so dearly held" are referring to the eventual loss of the wars and Scotland joining with England. Or something along those lines.
I was born and have lived in Scotland my entire life, there's nothing quite like our wee nation and I'm proud of that.

My great grandmother was Scottish. Thank you explaining the history.
SCOTLAND!!!! FREEDOM!!!!!!
@@Max_MacAulay so honoured that scotland itself has replied to me
i always thought it was Edward 2nd because of the battle of Bannock burn
@jeanglendinning1860 yeah but there were other battles like the famous battle of stirling bridge which was edward i
I don't even have any kind of relationship with Scotland, I don't have ancestry or relatives there, but this anthem is so beautiful that makes cry from emotion.
Wryff ty alau anwyll gwr gwlad!
I can sleep with ease by listening to it. I have to stand for it, however.☺
I am from scotland I love the music
*happy scottish noises*
Cristian Conde Muñoz my great great grandparents from my dads side are from Scotland, they moved to Argentina had children who then had children themselves and then moved back to Britain but to England now, that’s how I was born. My mum’s family is English so if granny stayed in Argentine or moved to Scotland I wouldn’t be here
What a beautiful song!
I am from Kolkata and my school was established by a Scottish missionary, Rev. Alexander Duff. I have always felt a connection with this beautiful nation. I hope to travel to Scotland someday.
Lots and lots of love from Bengal and India.

I'm brazilian and have no scottish ancestry, but when my scottish friend sang me this anthem I almost cried and I didnt even understand the meaning. Now I do and it's even more beautiful. Freedom for Scotland 🏴
It's very interesting and unique that Scotland has a peaceful and harmonic anthem, in contrast to most countries which have a powerful march or a dynamic orchestral rythm.
Greetings to all Scots from a Greek :)
Yeah, it's very beautiful anthem, it's a real anthem
Respect from Greece
This is just a readaptation, the song is more triumphant actually
Dooggy Sorebumm i think they mean the singing more than the lyrics/context, but to be fair when it’s with a pipe band with bang pipes and drums it can be a bit March-y
@@tacocatt6808 When folk at singing it at the football its not as harmonious.
It’s also ironic because historically Scotland has been feared for their military. In ww1 the British army would choose Scottish soldiers before anyone else because they were intimidating. In Ancient Rome, when the romans tried to take Scotland, the warriors would throw themselves on the spears of the romans to give another warrior the chance to take the soldier from behind.
Long live Scotland a proud and potent nation of brave lads and bonnie lassies. With sincere love and respect from Mongolia!

As an England person, I am so happy that a calm anthem as opposed to a bombastic one is just a short drive from me. Love you Scotland from England
Listen to ,,Scotland the brave" one of the other unofficial Anthems of Scotland. The bagpipes are iconic from that song one with lyrics is better as well
i hate the english
It's way better at the rugby
Well that's because you are a Brit. Free Scotland. Free the occupied six counties in northern iIreland.

This is not an anthem,this is a lullaby.💝
Very hard to not shed a tear or two when hearing the Scottish national song. All the emotions from the pain and suffering by the hands of the English is well woven into the song, as well as the Scottish tenacity to endure it all and grow stronger.. into immortality. This is probably the most beautiful national song ever made.
shut up about [the english[ really, most people I know in england are of scots, irish, welsh ancestry, get over the past you idiot, really, what the f planet are you one, the battle of culloden, christ what a knob, the scottish, are the irish, the only bloody difference is to the southern parts of the uk, which were mainly anglo saxon ffs
@@rosieposie601 you’re an ignorant one aren’t ya.

Ever since I traveled to Scotland, I always felt a strange connection to this beautiful country. For some reason, I felt at home. Beautiful castles, old forests, the amazing landscape provided by the Highlands and the long beaches in the far north. That‘s something no one can ever forget. Love to Scotland from Germany 🏴🤝🇩🇪
Thanks dude I'm Scottish and I love Germany 🤜
I’m a South African and proud Scottish descendant, my mother just walked on me singing along and I was not ashamed because Scotland is where I belong 🇿🇦🏴❤️ when I have kids one day I will tell them the history of Scotland and why they should not be ashamed of where they come from nor while singing along the national anthem of Scotland, Alba gu bràth. 🏴🏴❤️

As a Scots-Irish lad, I wish love and respect to my brothers and sisters with open arms from a proud Texan!
Its very funny and crazy, how someone from a small village in Kenya, east Africa can just fall in love with a country he has never been to...I first learnt of Scotland through the song" the mull of kentyre" the bag pipes played skillfully, beautifully and amazingly. Then later I learnt that that's not the national anthem of Scotland, I searched and came across this rich history telling national anthem, so emotional and too personal...then i watched so many documentaries about the Scotland highlands, the mull of kintyre itself, the culture, education system especially the university of Dundee. Through years I have just loved Scotland, I hope one day I walk on those bare hills, those beautiful romantic valleys, during the winter I walk...this is my dream, I hope it come true, I hope...
I am Scottish / Irish and Serbian . I visited Scotland throughout my childhood to the highlands to see family. It is so unbelievably magical ! X
I too have plans to visit that magical land, it's the first in my bucket list lol
@@ng3057 wow that's so amazing, you're the real daughter of the land lol, I'm told the Scottish people are very loving and generous. That makes me want to meet some people too
@@Plmora yes absolutley visit ! Very kind hearted people !
@@ng3057 I will for sure, while I start my studies at the university of Dundee in Scotland, it's for the same reason I chose the University of Dundee. i have a number of Scottish friends already hope you'll be one of them😊😊😊

Why do I love Scotland so much 😍😶😑😢😭💙🏴💙?
