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.

I am Zambian, and the flower of Scotland----which I just recently this year came to know of, has become my favourite. Every time I listen to it I am so touched. More so, the parts * we will leave the past behind us where it belongs* and also where it says *that stood against him, proud Edward's army and sent him homeward to think again* .....such a diplomatic reaction to an enemy. After knowing this Anthem, I like Scotland even more now.

[@GS-tj9uf]

People added the lyrics "against who?" after each "that stood against him", and either "f*ck off!" or "b*stard!" following "Proud Edward's army". I guess that's the only "national anthem" (is a song from the Seventies from the scottish folk duo "The Corries") that "addresses" another nation like that (but if you look up history you'll find that they have good reasons to do that! 😜)

My late father in law was Scottish, he would stand and salute to Flower of Scotland, and he loved the bagpipes. He had a piper for his funeral

I think most Scot’s have Irish heritage & vice versa I’m so proud of mines . I remember as a wee girl listening to my Irish granny voice she had a thick Irish accent & I loved the bones of that woman. I’ve no English blood but my son does over 20% & no one knows where it’s come from..

Very proud to be Scottish and love our national anthem the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I get goosebumps whenever I here it

[@keithewright]

In case I missed it, the words are a reference to the First Scottish Wars of Independence and the Battle of Bannockburn which secured Scottish freedom for the next 400 years.

Wee bit hill and Glen you were fantastic Dublin South Ireland great as well. Congratulations and Welcome to Scotland

[@bunkyman8097]

Bagpipes make me cry everytime. I don't care if they play happy birthday I cry. So emotional. Gets me deep.

[@hettyscetty9785]

The Flower of Scotland is talking about the battle of Bannockburn that took place on 23-24 June 1314. Where we went against the English and won.

[@AV-fo5de]

@@amsodoneworkingnow1978 No, it isn't!!

[@neilpeat7096]

@@amsodoneworkingnow1978 Scotland does not have an official national anthem. Our parliament has never formally recognised one over another. At various times Scotland the Brave, Highland Cathedral and Flower of Scotland have been used. Flower of Scotland is used now in nearly every situation. Sporting events, big national events etc. I’d assume because it’s the easiest to sing, and it sounds the best.

Oh man, the only place to hear this is at a rugby match, when the music stops and 80,000 people continue singing is actually spine tingling… and absolutely unforgettable

Football pure can’t sing our N.A. They are never in unison & I cringe when I hear them singing it.

Being Scottish by birth, there's not another National Anthem like it. There is a real story to it. We may be a small country but we're big at heart...always and proud. Yes "WEE" is Scottish for small.

The passion in our singing comes from our forefathers and as OUR anthem states we can forgive but we never forget. Jacob's pillow.

[@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.

[@Gouranga_Man]

Do love it when i hear the addition sang. "Angainst who?" And "Bastard". Its a song that fans the fire of love and pride for my homeland.

hearin the full place sing their hearts out bring a tear to ma eye everytime

[@paullangan193]

Best moment ever was when Scotland played England in England. The English were starting to sing there Anthem "Swing low". Even though there were fewer Scots in the stands the Scots started to sing the flower of Scotland and Drowned out the English. As a Scot that was awesome!!!!
