This is the National Anthem of Scotland sung by a duo called The Corries. Read the lyrics below.
What do you think of it? Do you like it?
The video is from a memorable rugby match in 1990. It was the deciding match between Scotland and England.
The arrogant English didn't think us Scots had a chance of winning. We soon showed them and they went back to their country with their tail between their legs.
When will they ever learn?!
I love the bit when the rugby players start singing the anthem to the sound of the bagpipes. I always get goosebumps.
The national flower of Scotland is the thistle. Why is an ugly person referred to as "cardo" when it actually is a beautiful flower?!
Flower of Scotland - Scotland's National Anthem
O flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again
That fought and died for
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae (to) think again
The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er (over) land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
