Flower of Scotland is the unofficial national anthem for Scotland.
Here are the Lyrics:
O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see,
Yer like again,
That fought and died for,
Yer 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,
Autumn leaves lie
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.
O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Yer like again,
That fought and died for,
Yer wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
As for an MP3 file, I'm afraid there's just like a billion different randoms who have sung it, and I don't really know which would be considered more official than the others. Google "Flower of Scotland MP3", and take your pic of the many, many files ^^

I always guessed it was "Scotland the brave", that song is always played on bagpipes.

Oh how I miss playing my recorder, yes all real men should have played that instrument for at least 6 years!
For the ones that dont know what a recorder is.

Don't forget officially they are part of the United Kingdom and therefore "God Save the Queen" is the offical anthem!
Although, they did spend insane amount of cash on their parliment building....

No, God Save the Queen is England's national anthem. Britain's official anthem is Rule Brittania.
You would probably get stabbed in Glasgow for saying that sort of thing Payu ;P

"On a random 17:00 @ work note"
How does that Prima Noctis work nowadays?
Could an IE officer defile a scottish girl from one of the IE "members" on her wedding night?
Dell?
-
I wish I even knew what prima noctis is... it sounds cool!
And Kawe, 'God Save The Queen' is the United Kingdom's anthem.
i.e. NI, Scotland, Wales & England.
It might just be Great Britain's, but I think NI is included... so, UK.
Rule Britannia is England's national anthem afaik, but it's rarely/never used outside of pompous stuff like the proms, or football.
-
Prima noctis, is obviously latin meaning first night.
Yes that is a 100% guess as my latin is rusty and i dont wanna cheat and google it. Yes NI is included :)

Oh please.
Verse 6 of "God Save the Queen".
6. Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring
May he sedition hush
And like a torrent rush
Rebellious Scots to crush
God save the King
Really... I think it's safe to say that it is not the national anthem of Scotland when it talks about crushing its people. Scotland's is Flower of Scotland, England's is god Save the Queen, Britain has Rule Brittania. Officialdom and the semantics relating to Northern Ireland don't make a country's anthem.
-
I am talking about things like the Olympics, which features 'United Kingdom' rather than 'England' and 'Scotland'.
At such events, we sing God Save The Queen.
I'm sure the Scots just hum along during the nasty bits :P
What is this 'Britain' you keep refering to? England/Scotland/Wales?
-
Britain = England, Scotland and Wales. UK = Britain and Northern Island.

Britain is Great Britain when I don't type the first word.
In sport, "God Save the Queen" is usually used as the English national anthem only; while Scotland and Wales have their own, unofficial anthems.[9] This only occurs in sports in which the four countries compete independently (eg. Football, Rugby, Cricket, etc.). In sports like formula one, or the Olympics, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are usually competing as one nation and therefore "God Save the Queen" is used to represent anyone or any team that comes from Britain.[9]
Either way, to say God Save the Queen is Scotland's national anthem is kind of pushing it. It's UK's national anthem when UK is being counted as a single entity in sporting events, stretching it to say it's Scotland's by proxy seems somehow... flimsy or imposed. Can a national anthem really be a national anthem - given the nature of national anthems - when it's weakly imposed in this manner?
"God Save the Queen" currently acts as the national anthem of the United Kingdom, though it has never been officially implemented by Royal Proclamation or Act of Parliament, but was popularized by tradition alone.
So granted that it's all tradition, people preference and Scotland's people's less than lovely attitude regarding the english, it's fair to say that Scotland's national anthem is not God Save the Queen.
tl;dr - Scotland's national anthem is Flower of Scotland.
Incase that wasn't clear, the national anthem of Scotland is Flower of Scotland. Flower of Scotland is the national anthem of Scotland.
