Flower of Scotland | Flouer o Scotland | Flùr na h-Alba

Flower of Scotland is a Scottish song, used frequently at special occasions and sporting events. Although Scotland has no official national anthem, Flower of Scotland is one of a number of songs which unofficially fulfil this role, along with the older Scots Wha Hae, Scotland the Brave and Highland Cathedral. It was written by Roy Williamson of the folk group The Corries, and presented in 1967, and refers to the victory of the Scots, led by Robert the Bruce, over England's Edward II at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Lyrics: O Flower of Scotland When will we see Your like again, That fought and died for Your wee bit hill and glen, And stood against him, Proud Edward's Army And sent him homeward Tae think again. The hills are bare now And autumn leaves lie thick and still O'er land that is lost now, Which those so dearly held, That stood against him Proud Edward's Army And sent him homeward Tae think again. Those days are past now And in the past they must remain But we can still rise now, And be the nation again That stood against him Proud Edward's army And sent him homeward Tae think again. Performed by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.
