Sung by the man who wrote it, Never bettered by anyone. Thanks roy and Ronnie legends both.

[@foggydew3614]

Yeah, real legends...I'm not scot but I have goosebumps while listening to songs like this.... ALBA GU BRACH frae Albania

[@sandramorey2529]

A most beautiful song written by the white haired "Corrie" who's name I forgot, but I learned the song and I love it. I'm a Jewish American but I appreciate the beautiful thoughts here.

What the Corries did is this: they made a patriotic song into an international hymn. I know well about Scottish history, fraught with betrayal like no other nation, but despite all the junk, in the end it's their music which really "does it". Chapeau to the Corries! The best ever!

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Most Scottish History is fake or spurious : Culloden / Prince Charlie / the Clearances etc. If Scotland was " betrayed " it was normally by Scots themselves. Scotland as " Victim " is an SNP election ploy . Most effective on foreigners for some reason.

Love love love the Corries, miss Roy's fantastic voice, thank gawd for utube and cd's

[@19Moira]

After all these years it still touches my heart.

[@ryanomahony2060]

LOVE THIS ANTHEM !SUNG BEAUTIFULLY !!

[@CentraljocK]

absolutely no malice or ill-will in this performance. Just a song about a long forgotten battle and a message of hope and maybe a small bit of defiance against future mistakes. perfect.

[@JamesRDavenport]

Unfortunately, I shared this video in a Medieval History group because I THOUGHT some might enjoy a modern song about Bannockburn. You wouldn't believe all the truly-butthurt angry comments from English-born members that post received. Really mean base curr comments against Scottish people. (And I'm of mostly English ancestry.) I mean, really? It happened almost a millennium ago. Why can't we all just appreciate it?

If Scotland Ever gets true independence,this should be their national anthem!

[@markrae1317]

It's an interesting one. Personally, I'd rather have a national anthem that sang about great Scotland is rather than how bad the English are/were... No Scot is really interested in that garbage any more...

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Hmmm.....might be OK for funerals but apart from that...?

I'm a proud Scotsman that was brought up at a time when it was fashionable to believe that we should embrace our own identity. i've got to be honest tho, the older i get the smaller this island becomes and the issues we face as a people becomes far more apparent. We need to stick together more now than we ever did. I'm sure these guys would 100% agree if they were still around in 2024. GB forever!

Can anyone tell me who wrote this awesome song,I'm a true and proud Welshman but this anthem sends a shiver down my spine,god bless you Scots.

[@jockyblade]

Roy Williamson of the corries wrote this song, that's him on the left of this video, unfortunately he died a few years ago of a brain tumor, taken far too young, similar to the unmistakeable Luke Kelly of the dubliners. I just hope for Roy's memory the aye's have it tomorrow (18th September 2014). Alba gu brath

[@eejwelshtaff]

jockyblade Thank you my friend,like you said he was taken far too young.This is a great song, it always sends shivers down my spine when the rugby is on even though I'm a proud Welshman. 'Iechyd Da' to all you Scots.

[@Wa1kerBros4Ever]

+eejwelshtaff Proud Welshman too and I fully agree with you, both our and the Scots anthems have passion and so relevant to each nation. I fill up when I hear either.

Even Scotsmen and women across the pond support Scottish independence and the right of Scotland to rule herself independent of foreign intervention. My family name is Knox of Clan MacFarlane and I although I am a Scottish American, I look forward to the day when I can go to Scotland and show my children their heritage and the history behind it. Now is the time for all Scots to find their nationalistic spirit and come together as one!
