"Scotland the Brave" | Scottish Patriotic Song

"Scotland the Brave" (Scottish Gaelic: Alba an Àigh) is a Scottish patriotic song. It is one of several songs often considered an unofficial Scottish national anthem (others being "Flower of Scotland" and "Scots Wha Hae").
The tune was first played probably in the late 19th century. The lyrics commonly used now were written about 1950 by the Scottish journalist Cliff Hanley for the singer Robert Wilson as part of an arrangement by Marion McClurg.

I have never heard the lyrics to this amazing song, mainly just the bagpipe version

[@rovinggnome143]

There's another version made by John McDermott

[@buckshot9521]

There are multiple sets of lyrics, none of them original to the tune.

[@w.reidripley1968]

It was a pipe tune long before anyone wrote lyrics to it, in the late 1950s. This was done for a TV variety show.

Bring your woolens -- or buy a nice Harris Tweed while you're there. Scotland's chilly enough, and rainy too, to make you appreciate cool-room-temp beer, so you don't get core chilled.

The darker blue looks so good on the scottish flag

[@user-pw6gm1tu6q]

its to dark the real shade is much lighter,and the reason the union jack's scottish bit is darker is because it lasted longer at sea etc the original was lighter but faded quicker,the st andrews cross which is the scottish flag is based on a cloud formation that was seen b4 a battle,so if u imagine a blue sky then that the blue u want

[@CuFhoirthe88]

@@user-pw6gm1tu6q The old flags at some point in ye olden days used a darker dye for whatever reason. It just looks aesthetically better, with the greater contrast between the blue field and the white cross.

My family has been in the U.S. since 1645. We still have the family Bible brought over from Scotland. It's very big and bound is leather covered wood. Almost four centuries and my DNA still shows over 90% Scot with a little Irish and Germanic. Wish I could've seen Scotland before I go. At 72 it's too late.

You've got two commemorative anthems now. To say nothing of a national-booster anthem in 'Land Of My Fathers.' Not the Welsh one, that is very Welsh indeed.
