Radio Scotland's Lesley Riddoch, who hosts a current-affairs talk show, recently opened up her call-in show to a discussion of possible National Anthems for Scotland. Many were in favour of Hamish Henderson's masterful "Freedom Come-All-Ye" (mentioned above) and sang it over the phone with unstinting joy & pride as soon as they were asked. The song has my vote, too-- it is the most forward-looking, historically-aware, musically uplifting, singable, and profoundly poetic piece I've ever heard, and it reaches beyond the boundaries as a celebration of all humanity, not just the "brave victors" or "tragic victims" of Scotland's past.
