A more on-topic wiki link I happened across.

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?

Daekesh · February 15, 2008, 10:09:38 PM

Britain = England, Scotland and Wales. UK = Britain and Northern Island.

Britain is Great Britain when I don't type the first word.

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_save_the_queenIn 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?

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_save_the_queen"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.
