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.

your American with Scottish and Irish ancestry.

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

You should hear us now lol. There's a fire in our bellies and hearts. No matter what proud of our wee country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

I lived on the west coast of Scotland for 6 years all in, 1 year in Gourock, and 5 in Greenock. I adore Scotland. I used to work in the Horseshoe Bar and this was sung every week on karaoke, I love it.

Horseshoe Bar, Glesga?

Steve, that is a Scotland home game at Murrayfield in Edinburgh. If you love the sound of the pipes, have a look at the massed pipe bands at the Braemar Gathering, or the Glengarry Games in Canada, there's bound to be a pipe tune that you'll like, I love the pipes myself. Best Wishes from Wales.

@@amsodoneworkingnow1978 There is no official anthem, as no such decision was ever made by a devolved Scottish government. It is widely accepted however, that FoS is the anthem and is performed at most international sporting events accordingly.

You need to listen to the full anthem love it all xxx

I am Scottish and have been lucky to get to a few International Scottish games. The atmosphere is Brilliant especially when the pipers stop playing and the crowd sing the next verse without music. Awesome 👍

Going to a six nations rugby match is something everyone should experience - the singing of the anthems sends shivers down the spine. For me being Welsh it’s my anthem, but living in Scotland for 40 years with a Scottish husband then it applies equally to this one. Rivalries flare in our household ( in a nice way) when Wales are playing Scotland! Off to see if I can find your video of the Welsh National Anthem reaction .

I couldn't agree with you more! You will never get an anthem sung with such passion than at a 6 Nations game. Welsh for me too but I can't help but sing along to the Scottish anthem 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

One of best National Anthems

Half Acottish and it always makes me proud, It is always better when they have bagpiper on the roof of the stadium. Stunning

It's even better and far more emotional in person. I live within walking distance of Murrayfield and can hear it sung from my house on match days. We are a proud nation.

Scotland the Brave is the best one, to my mind.

I love all the comments here, bringing so many nations together with love and respect.

Flower of Scotland at Murrayfield...would bring tears to a glass eye!

I'm Irish with Scottish Father and grandparents , the Scottish national anthem is the best in my opinion.

I am the opposite, scottish with irish mother and grandparents. I agree but ireland has better rebel songs

Proud to be Scottish

As an Australian with 50% Scottish blood in my veins this always stirs me up. My father wasn’t alive when this song became the national anthem. Am sure he’d love it….being no fan of the ‘southerners’.

I’m a Scot and feel SO proud and privileged to have been born in this wonderful country! This literally made my heart fill with pride (and brought tears to my eyes!). Thank you for sharing and your lovely comments! 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
