Scotland National Anthem please

[Smorisha]

For some wierd reason my sister is searching for a download link of Scottish anthem, so far I have found some crap quality recordings and links to "God save the Queen". My sister is searching for the old Scottish anthem with bagpipe (instrument?!?)
Kawe... anyone??? HEEEEEEEELP!

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

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?

[delling]

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.

[Myogoblin]

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 :)
