Scotland the Rave

Entry posted by martin at 10:22  Permanent link to this entry. Right-click and choose 'Bookmark' or 'Add to Favourites'  6 comments

The Scottish Parliament has been given the approval to decide the country's national anthem.

Undoubtedly, this will be a bigger issue than the current debate on banning smoking in public places, but it'll be interesting to see what ends up our national dirge.

If you can think of any songs you would like to hear belted out at Scotland international matches by the Tartan Army, leave a comment.

How about that old Sir Harry Lauder favourite "I'm fu the noo" (but I've somethin' in the bottle for the mornin)

Flower of Scotland seems to have been adopted and is sung with passion and pride. Why not make it official?

Scotland the Brave would be an excellent choice!

Scotland The Brave is the song with the best tune and best lyric. but please no more of the confrontational Flower Of Ssotland.

As a South-African with a Scottish Granfather I am extremely proud of my heritage. I have more or less 10 CD's of the Scottish Dragoon Guards alone. Every time I listen to the Flower of Scotland, I get tears to my eyes. It says everything about Scotland that needs to be said with all the proudness of the Scotts. What better anthem to decsribe this wonderful country, the best in the world!!!!!
