Scotland's National Anthem
.........................................
Flower of Scotland
O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
The Hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves
lie thick and still,
O'er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
Those days are past now,
And in the past
they must remain,
But we can still rise now,
And be the nation again,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

I guess that several sentences have talking about Scotland愀 history.
Please, could you explain it to me? It愀 very important for me to know all
his meaning. I envy all scotish nation for having such a pretty anthem. All
years, I see Five Nations and when all Murrayfield sing it, I cry my heart
out.

The Flower of Scotland is the UNOFFICIAL anthem of Scotland. It
commemorates the Battle of Bannockburn (1314) when the Scottish Army
under Robert the Bruce (Robert I, King of Scots - the Flower of
Scotland) defeated Edward II of England. This ended English rule of
Scotland for a time. It was written by Roy Williamson.
Once you know this, the words make sense.

What do you mean, unofficial? Is there an official anthem, or aren't the
Scots supposed to have one, what with the United Kingdom?
Jigotai
But, why unofficial? They already have their own parlament. They have their
own national teams. They sing their anthem before they play in
internationals soccer or rugby matches...
English people have one: Land of Hope and Glory. Welsh people have another
one: Land of my Fathers. Irish people too: The Soldier愀 Song. And Great
Britain has God Saves the Queen.
Thank you once again.
