Tattie Bogle	Spot the anachronism (37)	RE: Spot the anachronism	16 Jan 25
There's a very nice song called "Calling Doon the Line" about young lads going off to war in 1917. It mentions that a piper played "Scotland the Brave" as they were waved away on the train. Now, as I understand it, the song lyrics "Scotland the Brave" were written in the 1950s by Cliff Hanley. He did use a traditional Scottish pipe tune, but it wasn't called "Scotland the Brave" before that, so anachronistic or what? I heard the song being sung a few years later, by which time "Scotland the Brave" had been replaced by "a sad lament".
