Pete Seeger Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 A Man's a man for A'that. That said I can't imagine belting it round Murrayfield. Highland Cathedral would be an improvement. There is a land far from this distant shoreWhere heather grows and Highland eagles soarThere is a land that will live ever moreDeep in my heart, my Bonnie Scotland Though I serve so far away I still see your streams, cities and dreams I can't wait until the day When I'll come home once moreAnd so Lord keep me from the harm of warThrough all its dangers and the battle's roarKeep me safe until I'm home once moreHome to my own in Bonnie Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 This. Why change it? It's a superb national anthem which is recognised worldwide. A good folk song, but it is a dirge, and not an anthem. GSTQ is slightly better, but is not upbeat, compared to the likes of the French, Herman, U.S, and even Welsh national anthems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboX2 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Flower of Scotland is crap. Such a bad song. Highland Cathedral or Scotland the Brave with new wording OR A mans a man which has superb meaning. As for GSTQ its the British not the English national anthem. The English lack a set anthem of their own. There are calls for it to be Jerusalem or Land of Hope and Glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWJ Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Flower of Scotland is a dirge about a 700 year-old fight and if/when Scotland becomes independent will make no sense. Scotland The Brave is an uplifting song about loving your country and your ambitions for it. A Man's A Man is a good shout too - as is Auld Lang Syne.

loveofthegame Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Caledonia and Loch Lomond are incredible songs, but they are essentially "pop" songs - a national anthem should not be that type of song. Sing them in the stands but they shouldn't be the anthem. Flower of Scotland is just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB52 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 used to love Scotland the Brave as an anthem when it was used at the Commonwealth games, but nobody knew the words, they just clapped along until .....Scotland The Brave. Love Flower of Scotland but can;t sing it anymore after the referendum, agree with some others - A man's a man for a that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWJ Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Loch Lomond is a lovely and very sad song (and I hate how it's been jazzed up in its adoption by the TA.) Don't think the lamenting of a soon-to-be-executed man that he is never going to see his love again is a good basis for an anthem though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
