American Reacts to Flower of Scotland - Scottish National Anthem

In this video I react to the Flower of Scotland which happens to be the unofficial Scottish National Anthem. I absolutely loved hearing the bagpipes start and then the crowd started singing what appeared to be some very powerful words.
It was beautiful to see the Scottish people being so patriotic, with faces painted with the flag of Scotland and even the kids knowing the anthem. It was nice to watch as everyone sang the Flower of Scotland at the top of their lungs.
This was an awesome anthem that showed me a glimpse of the pride the Scottish people have toward their nation. I look forward to checking out other videos like this moving forward.
Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed this reaction please give this video a thumbs up, share your thoughts in the comments and click the subscribe button to follow my journey to learn about my British and Irish ancestry.

Flower Of Scotland is a song that proves the old Scottish proverb of "forgive your enemy, but remember the bastards name" We will leave the past behind us where it belongs, but we will stand up and fight if needed hence the motto of Scotland Nemo Me Impune Lacessit which means "no one attacks me with impunity"(or in modern parlance "Fuck About and Find Out😂) thankfully with the odd bawbag being an exception we Scots get on with everyone.

Steve, that is a Scotland home game at Murrayfield in Edinburgh. If you love the sound of the pipes, have a look at the massed pipe bands at the Braemar Gathering, or the Glengarry Games in Canada, there's bound to be a pipe tune that you'll like, I love the pipes myself. Best Wishes from Wales.

The military tattoo would also be worth a watch. I used to dance at it when i was younger.

[@pauldurkee4764]

@@anneg5720 That must be quite a memory to have participated. I remember watching most years on the TV, with the commentary by the unmistakable voice of Tom Fleming.

[@beadheed1984]

being in the stadium, being part of this is moving. ive never made through the entire song there without tearing up. im tearing up right now just thinking about it. its the 2nd verse when the piper finishes, singing as one. its unbelievable that for so long we were losing a lot of rugby matches because i feel like i could jump over a building i'm so fired up after it.

Going to a six nations rugby match is something everyone should experience - the singing of the anthems sends shivers down the spine. For me being Welsh it’s my anthem, but living in Scotland for 40 years with a Scottish husband then it applies equally to this one. Rivalries flare in our household ( in a nice way) when Wales are playing Scotland! Off to see if I can find your video of the Welsh National Anthem reaction .

[@amandadavies3659]

I couldn't agree with you more! You will never get an anthem sung with such passion than at a 6 Nations game. Welsh for me too but I can't help but sing along to the Scottish anthem 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
