A Scottish Soldier - Traditional Folk Song Andy Stewart
Музыка
"A Scottish Soldier" is a song written by Andy Stewart using the tune of "The Green Hills of Tyrol", which was transcribed by John MacLeod during the Crimean War from "La Tua Danza Sì Leggiera", a chorus part in the third act of Gioachino Rossini's 1829 opera Guglielmo Tell (William Tell). The song is about a dying Scottish soldier, wishing to return to the hills of his homeland rather than die in the Tyrol. The song was one of two US chart entries by Andy Stewart. "A Scottish Soldier" reached no. 1 in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It spent 36 weeks in the UK Singles Chart in 1961.
Shown with imagery of Scottish units from the Victorian Era, WW1, WW2 up to the modern day with the Royal Regiment of Scotland.

“He’d seen the glory, he told the story of battles glorious and deeds victorious, The bugles cease now, he is at peace now, far from those green hills if Tyrol.” I quoted this phrase in my brothers eulogy. LtCol. Sweeney, USMC. A true warrior and Crimean War aficionado.
Wonderful! I am very happy to be Scots/ Irish. Derek

The Scottish regiments who were in Ireland up until recently were some of the cruelest anti Irish regiments in the British army.
House Scottish veterans, not migrants!
Why've you gone and stuck the butcher's apron over this absolute bop

ha ha. God save the King, Union forever. Scottish service men are loyal to King and country, unlike you.
