Get yourself over here some day once this shite blows over. You'll love a good fortnite going around the North Coast and onto the Western Isles! Or perhaps a bit more urban in Inverness, Edinburgh, Dundee or Glasgow. Many rural towns and historic sites. We practically have ruined castles from agesong gone within the vicinity of most towns and villages.

@@nimrodfly626 We voted for the SNP. Like them or not, that's democracy. Shame about the tories in London whom we did not vote for and haven't voted for in 40 years yet keep ending up getting ruled by.
@@anneanonymous4202 That's pretty neat about your ancestors! Australia was actually a prison, and after a while the folk sent there just decided to stay as the journey was long and pricey . Later on more people left their homes to live there(although there were natives there ofc, Britain colonised Australia is a better word for it) . Meaning your ancestors were either sent there to prison for petty crimes ( like stealing bread) or they came after hearing about how life was better there. You should deffo look into it.

62% here. Was able to trace my ancestors. They immigrated to the US (Colonies at the time) in 1683. Due to my ancestors being land owners, I've been able to trace them back to the early 1200s through land deeds passed from father to son. That's nearly 500 years of Scottish blood running through me. And mighty proud of it. Alba gu brath!

I love how these lyrics describe Italy of this wonderful amazing place of sunshine and leisurely land, and dismisses it all for one's native Scotland. In my own country (America), everyone wants to lie in places like California and Florida, were it is always sunny and warm. I say thanks but no thanks. Give me a state where green mountains rise on the horizon, where rain and mist come often, where the sea bashes against a rocky coastline and the wind is in your face, and where the snow falls heavy in the winter.
Scotland and Wales sound like lovely countries, from all I've read. I imagine that it would be particularly nice to live in a village or a countryside. Here in America, our small towns are often very charming and nice places, where the people are friendlier and there is an abundance of nature.
Where can I find a place with temperatures from 30 to -50, constant winds of 60 miles an hour, hail, meteor showers, and the Aurora Borialis? That's my ideal weather.
I'm only half Scottish, but I feel a connection to Scottish music and culture, this is definitely helping my Scottish music binge! (My dad and his side of the family are from Irvine. I've been there and it was beautiful!)

I don't have any Scottish or Irish blood on me, but I've always been fascinated of Scotland ever since I read the Scottish Chiefs and Kidnapped as a child (and trying to read to myself in a Scottish accent). Its always been a dream of mine to visit this beautiful country and visit all the wonderful places I used to fantasize about when I was a child (Stirling Castle, Loch Ness, the Highlands, Culloden Moor and many more!!).
Im not scottish but i like Scotland people and Netherlands too ! (Scottish and Netherlands girls are very cute) in all people exist beauty of herths souls phhysics .
Truer words have never been spoken. "We are all Scottish when this song is playing." Me too, though Afrikaan to the core. If you Scots need fighters to break from the monarchy, we're game.
No song before this has brought me to tears. Proud I am of the portion of my ancestry that is Scottish. Accept this for what it is, A well written, perfectly performed, beautiful song.
@Orange Flame Scotlands 'anthem' is flower of Scotland because that's what our sports team dons, and its the closest thing to an actual national anthem. So that's why we just say it's our national anthem
Who would have said that Scotland the Brave lyrics had an introduction referred to my country, Italy! I've listened to the bagpipe version of this song since I was a toddler (weird parents) and I'm so proud and amazed right now. Much love to Scotland!
That is a true anthem for a nation. Filled with love for one's country and pride in one's flag. Long live Scotland. The shining crown of beauty and wonder that tops the United Kingdom.
thankyoupourlavideo pretty sure the part about Italy is talking about how soft lands lead to soft people and romantics. Hence the “freedom expires” part. This is supposed to contrast sharply with the part about Scotland since he talks about it being a rough land with bloody tombs and flashing blades that withstands the shocks upon its freedom. Maybe I’m reading too far into it but that seems reasonable?
Scotland is an amazing country, and as the song mentions Italy may be pretty it has nothing on Scotland. the sights make you speechless, nothing compares to the beautiful sight of an endless sea of green covered in morning dew, surrounded by astonishing cliffs and the soothing sound of the sea crashing upon them.
For anyone wondering, the following is the real lyrics to Scotland the Brave 🏴- Hark when the night is falling Hear! hear the pipes are calling, Loudly and proudly calling, Down through the glen. There where the hills are sleeping, Now feel the blood a-leaping, High as the spirits Of the old Highland men. Towering in gallant fame, Scotland my mountain hame, High may your proud standards, Gloriously wave, Land of my high endeavour, Land of the shining rivers, Land of my heart for ever, Scotland the brave. High in the misty Highlands, Out by the purple islands, Brave are the hearts that beat Beneath Scottish skies. Wild are the winds to meet you, Staunch are the friends that greet you, Kind as the love that shines From fair maidens' eyes. Far off in sunlit places, Sad are the Scottish faces, Yearning to feel the kiss Of sweet Scottish rain. Where tropic skies are beaming, Love sets the heart a-dreaming, Longing and dreaming for the homeland again.
As a true patriot American this song brings me to joyful tears. I hope we can all rise to meet this standard. All freedom and joy to Scotland and her children!
As a true United Stater patriot this songs brings me. American is the name of the Inhabitants of the all American continent. Say rather Scotland and his children.
As a true patriot United Stater this song bring me. I disagree with you. Because American is the name of the all American continent , not only the inhabitants of the United States. Say rather Scotland and his children.
Brexit will have consequences like a new scottish referendum since up there most of the people voted to remain and that's a fact. Also literally no one asked you to be sorry, no one even cares about your opinion tbh, it's just funny how you are sad about Scotland possibily leaving UK when you voted for something Scottish People made cristal clear they don't like and that will make them vote again for their independence , it's just simple as that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Internal British politics is nothing to do with you pier, you don’t know anything about Scotland/Britain anyway if your not from there. What would you know hahaha? Stick to your own shit country 👍
People of Scotland. We love you as Turkish people. Your freedom of freedom and boldness have affected us very much. We love you Scotland people. Respect from Turkey.
Fun little fact bout that, Scots, Germans and Scandinavians all come from the same proto-germanic stock if you look far back enough So we share more than the whole.....unsavory relationship lol
I’m a Fraser, and my 8 generation Grandfather is Simon Fraser, of Lovat Scotland. This songs makes my heart swell! Oh the story’s of Clan Fraser and Clan McCleod!
Why are Americans so obsessed with being 2% Scottish? Find it hilarious that most claim to be descendants of the likes of Wallace, Bruce etc just be proud of being what you really are which is American. I was born in Scotland and have lived here all my life as have all my family for as far back as my family tree goes. But if I found that one of my grandparents 100 times removed was Spanish I would never claim to be any stupid % Spanish! Sorry I don’t get it?
@@sharonburns5302 Americans are really mixed. That is why they are looking for an identity, usually the ethnicity of the ancestor that most recently immigrated to America. So they define themselves according to that very ethnicity despite them being something completely different. In America and Canada there is a vibrant Scottish community that teaches Gaelic, scottish customs etc so most Americans are fascinated by that culture preservance due to the fact that most white americans(english ,german) are ethnically invisible, meaning that they failed to preserve their own English (american revolution, denouncing of English identity) and German identities respectively. (complete linguistic assimilation).
@@sharonburns5302 yep, I'm American, We have people from many countries here. My family is a blend of many a nationality, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Germany, etc. True Mongrel dog of a family tree. But being from the "highlands" of the Blue Ridge and Appalachia Mountains in America we share some heritage, dancing styles, fighting styles etc. We can appreciate the concept of standing against all that was thrown at us. But of course we actually won all the fights. ;)
I am not Irish. The irish are wayyy more relaxed and a bit unprofessional (but they are nice people) I am Northern Irish. I am a Protestant and I am proud of our industrial heritage and our hard work ethic. Belfast is a beautiful place and I am proud of it. I understand that some people identify as Irish, and that is perfectly fine. Personally, I am British. I speak English and I am patriotic towards the British Empire. What I hate is the toxicity of people trying to take that away from me. I hate when people try to group me in with the Catholic Irish. I personally believe that our culture is completely different and so is our identity, and people should stop trying to rip that away from me.
I love Scotland so much it hurts! Dad is English Mum is Scottish! In my view the best mixture. I will always love my dad but I will always back the Scottish! 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
I’m American, yet sometimes I get that Scottish accent and people get confused. I also have an Irish, British, etc. You name it... I can do it. But at my high school I was in JROTC and when we marched... We would always play Scotland the Brave because it was our school song. We were the Highlanders and we stood proud when we heard the bagpipes and Scotland the Brave play in the distance. We would always win and when we won... We went home in a Scottish style... We would play Scotland the Brave. When one of our own died, we played the song. It was the best time of my life.
Lived in Texas and New Mexico all my life. Heritage is 3/4 Scot and 1/4 Welsh. I hear Scotland calling me and I must answer. I will be there in person in 2024 but my heart is already there. ❤️
16/7/2022 still wants me to cross over to the dark side and follow scottish freedom. Scotland has been buried for years and needs it's roots too grow once again
Just like Brexit was just sceeding the UK to the USA. Scottish independece will be, just another sham. Just ask Blacrock or Goldman Sachs or the WEF. Blackrock have more assets than the EU and China combined... (Look it up)
Advantage has always been taken of that Scottish bravery by the cunning, political ceatures seated safely in London.... In 1940, when France was collapsing, after the Germans by-passed the much-vaunted Maginot Line and entered via Belgium, a BIG evacuation took place. British, "and" French troops by the thousands made that BIG escape while the Scottish 51st. Highland Division was left behind to fight with very little ammunition or food. The Highland Division consisted of the Cameron Highlanders, Gordon Highlanders, the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, the Highland Light Infantry, the Seaforth Highlanders, the Forty Second Highlanders (The Black Watch) and so on. Scotland wept when the mothers, fathers, younger brothers and sisters learned that their sons and brothers had been killed in action, while Churchill called it the Miracle of Dunkirk. Scotland's bravery has always been taken advantage of by those cunning London creatures. I was a wee boy of seven when the letter came, stating that my oldest brother, John, a Seaforth Highlander had been killed in action. I have now been grateful American Citizen for most of my life, and far away from London.
did u miss the referendum. Scotland voted to stay part of the UK. You could of become a separate nation. plus Scotland has its own parliament as does wales and northern Ireland. England doesn't it has mp's from the other three though.

I would sure hope you don't have scottish or irish blood on you...
LOL!! sorry for that, i meant to say "in", =)
I'm part Welish and Scotish
I have irish and Scottish in me i wish them places as well
Irish and Scottish aswell
Visiting Scotland was like coming home. Love your country! - lots of love from the Netherlands ^^
Im not scottish but i like Scotland people and Netherlands too ! (Scottish and Netherlands girls are very cute) in all people exist beauty of herths souls phhysics .
Kelly, We love the Netherlands too, it's very pretty and the folks are really friendly. Lots of love from Scotland. 💞🏴

As a pure blood Scotsman I'd just like to say no matter where you're from.. Respect. We're all Scottish when this is playing
Truer words have never been spoken. "We are all Scottish when this song is playing." Me too, though Afrikaan to the core. If you Scots need fighters to break from the monarchy, we're game.
I'm not even Scottish (but Baltic) and this still makes me proud somehow
Seeing pride in other cultures is something people can enjoy appreciatively. Its a testament to humanity's unique identities.

Song
Yes. SAOR ALBA GU BRATH
No song before this has brought me to tears.
Proud I am of the portion of my ancestry that is Scottish.
Accept this for what it is, A well written, perfectly performed, beautiful song.
If there ever was a song that should be a National Anthem this is it.
Richard Smith it was the national anthem for Scotland. Until the song O’ Flower of Scotland.
@@kacywatson6314 I like " Scots wha hae " !!
Stv Grampian used to use this song in there Idents.
@Orange Flame Scotlands 'anthem' is flower of Scotland because that's what our sports team dons, and its the closest thing to an actual national anthem. So that's why we just say it's our national anthem
@@OnlyGrafting no, there is actually an anthem. Selected in a referendum.
Who would have said that Scotland the Brave lyrics had an introduction referred to my country, Italy!
I've listened to the bagpipe version of this song since I was a toddler (weird parents) and I'm so proud and amazed right now.
Much love to Scotland!
believe it or not italy and scotland actually have quite a close history - many scots are of italian descent.
I think it's a reference to the Roman Empire
@Keltic D thank you, never heard this version before , its not bad .
@@fpsmaverick_9335 I'm half Scottish half Italian lol
@@glb187 The constant struggle between the Nord and the Med. 😁
That is a true anthem for a nation. Filled with love for one's country and pride in one's flag. Long live Scotland. The shining crown of beauty and wonder that tops the United Kingdom.
I think the part about Italy sounds rather nice, really.
Bepis
same
And acknowledging respect for other previous great nations too.
thankyoupourlavideo pretty sure the part about Italy is talking about how soft lands lead to soft people and romantics. Hence the “freedom expires” part. This is supposed to contrast sharply with the part about Scotland since he talks about it being a rough land with bloody tombs and flashing blades that withstands the shocks upon its freedom. Maybe I’m reading too far into it but that seems reasonable?

I would really like to visit Scotland, land of the brave and proud, land of the free. Best regards from Serbia, friends.
+TheBranchez I have the luck to study here and I can say that is a wonderful naturally place.
they aren't very brave and free anymore...
I don't share your opinion or reasoning, but I heartily respect it
TheBranchez you wouldn’t like Scotland in the winter but follow your dreams and go to Scotland
Serbia is the land of brave a proud as well. Not bowing down to anyone
This reminds me ALOT of southern country music here in America. You can really see how our music came from scottish and irish Heritage
Bluegrass is a Celtic cake with West African frosting, as described by me.
@@flossingjonah9066 i like that description alot Lol
Scotland is an amazing country, and as the song mentions Italy may be pretty it has nothing on Scotland. the sights make you speechless, nothing compares to the beautiful sight of an endless sea of green covered in morning dew, surrounded by astonishing cliffs and the soothing sound of the sea crashing upon them.
For anyone wondering, the following is the real lyrics to Scotland the Brave 🏴-
Hark when the night is falling
Hear! hear the pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling,
Down through the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping,
Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits
Of the old Highland men.
Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards, Gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining rivers,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.
High in the misty Highlands,
Out by the purple islands,
Brave are the hearts that beat
Beneath Scottish skies.
Wild are the winds to meet you,
Staunch are the friends that greet you,
Kind as the love that shines
From fair maidens' eyes.
Far off in sunlit places,
Sad are the Scottish faces,
Yearning to feel the kiss
Of sweet Scottish rain.
Where tropic skies are beaming,
Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
Longing and dreaming for the homeland again.
Yeah, the grass is better than piazza San Marco or the Colosseum
This has nothing to do with Italy
It is in reference to the Roman Empire
Beautiful song ❤, Love Scotland 🏴 from Brazil 🇧🇷.
As a true patriot American this song brings me to joyful tears. I hope we can all rise to meet this standard. All freedom and joy to Scotland and her children!
As a true United Stater patriot this songs brings me. American is the name of the Inhabitants of the all American continent. Say rather Scotland and his children.
As a true patriot United Stater this song bring me. I disagree with you. Because American is the name of the all American continent , not only the inhabitants of the United States. Say rather Scotland and his children.
I was blessed to be born a Scot. Alba gu brath. Will NEVER give up the fight to be free.
I am 0% scottish. But I would give my life to protect your rock. As i would the rock of my nation or small nations. We. Me.
With my last breath I will never stop fighting for this land that is my home and my heart.. alba gu brath .
I am brazilian and I love this Song, Scotland the brave! Respect.
@Rabbit Ik this comment is from 1 year ago,but I will reply to it anyway. It shows that our people respect the country. Don't be salty over that
I wish I were a Scot.
Can't hate this song - greetings to Scotland from Austria's wild mountains!
Ja. Scotland the brave ist ein schottisches Lied. Ich will österreichisch sein.
Sending respect and admiration from England! I don't go to Scotland enough but it's a beautiful country!
@Alex Jones lol, it was a british idea to leave from the EU now they have to deal with the consequences
Brexit will have consequences like a new scottish referendum since up there most of the people voted to remain and that's a fact.
Also literally no one asked you to be sorry, no one even cares about your opinion tbh, it's just funny how you are sad about Scotland possibily leaving UK when you voted for something Scottish People made cristal clear they don't like and that will make them vote again for their independence , it's just simple as that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Internal British politics is nothing to do with you pier, you don’t know anything about Scotland/Britain anyway if your not from there. What would you know hahaha? Stick to your own shit country 👍
@Alex Jones people don't remain in unions because they have existed for a certain amount of time... that isn't a good reason at all...
The brits are fighting again pretty funny
Respect to Scotland from the Switzerland.
Sending proud Gaelic love to all you Scots from this man of Wales! We’ve all stood the shock ;)

Fun little fact bout that, Scots, Germans and Scandinavians all come from the same proto-germanic stock if you look far back enough
So we share more than the whole.....unsavory relationship lol

Why are Americans so obsessed with being 2% Scottish? Find it hilarious that most claim to be descendants of the likes of Wallace, Bruce etc just be proud of being what you really are which is American. I was born in Scotland and have lived here all my life as have all my family for as far back as my family tree goes. But if I found that one of my grandparents 100 times removed was Spanish I would never claim to be any stupid % Spanish! Sorry I don’t get it?
@@sharonburns5302 Americans are really mixed. That is why they are looking for an identity, usually the ethnicity of the ancestor that most recently immigrated to America. So they define themselves according to that very ethnicity despite them being something completely different. In America and Canada there is a vibrant Scottish community that teaches Gaelic, scottish customs etc so most Americans are fascinated by that culture preservance due to the fact that most white americans(english ,german) are ethnically invisible, meaning that they failed to preserve their own English (american revolution, denouncing of English identity) and German identities respectively. (complete linguistic assimilation).
@@sharonburns5302 yep, I'm American, We have people from many countries here. My family is a blend of many a nationality, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Germany, etc. True Mongrel dog of a family tree. But being from the "highlands" of the Blue Ridge and Appalachia Mountains in America we share some heritage, dancing styles, fighting styles etc. We can appreciate the concept of standing against all that was thrown at us. But of course we actually won all the fights. ;)
greetings from Greece! I have huge respect for the scottish people, their tenacity, fearless temperament and culture!!

Greetings to Scotland from Northern Ireland ♥️
Ireland*
whaT
I am not Irish. The irish are wayyy more relaxed and a bit unprofessional (but they are nice people) I am Northern Irish. I am a Protestant and I am proud of our industrial heritage and our hard work ethic. Belfast is a beautiful place and I am proud of it. I understand that some people identify as Irish, and that is perfectly fine. Personally, I am British. I speak English and I am patriotic towards the British Empire. What I hate is the toxicity of people trying to take that away from me. I hate when people try to group me in with the Catholic Irish. I personally believe that our culture is completely different and so is our identity, and people should stop trying to rip that away from me.
I see, but you shouldn’t be proud of colonisation and an island that you don’t even live kn
I am from Northern Ireland as well I'm British and mostly descends of Scottish settlers from the plantation
That kind of strong spirit that withstands the shock. Hell yeah! That gets my respect without question.
Scotland for ever.

25% Scottish 25% English 50% Irish is my blood alcohol level lol
The conversation at the dinner table, I imagine must be interesting.
I’m American, yet sometimes I get that Scottish accent and people get confused. I also have an Irish, British, etc. You name it... I can do it. But at my high school I was in JROTC and when we marched... We would always play Scotland the Brave because it was our school song. We were the Highlanders and we stood proud when we heard the bagpipes and Scotland the Brave play in the distance. We would always win and when we won... We went home in a Scottish style... We would play Scotland the Brave. When one of our own died, we played the song. It was the best time of my life.
From Brazil! I love this song, Brave Scotland people❤
LOVE this song, makes me proud of my Scots heritage!!
Lived in Texas and New Mexico all my life. Heritage is 3/4 Scot and 1/4 Welsh. I hear Scotland calling me and I must answer. I will be there in person in 2024 but my heart is already there. ❤️
16/7/2022 still wants me to cross over to the dark side and follow scottish freedom. Scotland has been buried for years and needs it's roots too grow once again
Just like Brexit was just sceeding the UK to the USA. Scottish independece will be, just another sham. Just ask Blacrock or Goldman Sachs or the WEF. Blackrock have more assets than the EU and China combined... (Look it up)
Scotland is awesome, my favourite nation of the world. Mad respect from Poland ❤️
Advantage has always been taken of that Scottish bravery by the cunning, political ceatures seated safely in London.... In 1940, when France was collapsing, after the Germans by-passed the much-vaunted Maginot Line and entered via Belgium, a BIG evacuation took place. British, "and" French troops by the thousands made that BIG escape while the Scottish 51st. Highland Division was left behind to fight with very little ammunition or food. The Highland Division consisted of the Cameron Highlanders, Gordon Highlanders, the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, the Highland Light Infantry, the Seaforth Highlanders, the Forty Second Highlanders (The Black Watch) and so on. Scotland wept when the mothers, fathers, younger brothers and sisters learned that their sons and brothers had been killed in action, while Churchill called it the Miracle of Dunkirk. Scotland's bravery has always been taken advantage of by those cunning London creatures. I was a wee boy of seven when the letter came, stating that my oldest brother, John, a Seaforth Highlander had been killed in action.
I have now been grateful American Citizen for most of my life, and far away from London.
Respect from Russia!Go to freedom!
John Stots its a loooooooooong story which gose back to roman times and william wallis time there you will find your anser
