A couple of recent oints are getting you guys in the right direction.......... Composer is one Flower of Scotland is another.
Flower of Scotland was composed in the late sixties or early seventies by a Scottish folk band "The Corries". It was not an overnight success but has grown to be recognised the World over as it has been adopted at various sporting and social events. It is only loosely based on the fact that we have effectively been unable to be self determinant and is more about vain hope than assured arrogance.
Your identity need not be rooted in the latter Impirical days which have long since gone and for which you do indeed need to be sorry.
Rather how about a decent and lesser ego among your folk fraternity focussing on UNIONs or ROSES or something dignified in your History ...even if you have to go back a few hundred years when you kept yourselves to yourselves... somewhere before Tudors or something.... All they need to do is find something which inspires the majority of ordinary people and aspires to more than having 356% equity on their property.
