Vic Smith Origin: Flower of Scotland (Roy Williamson) (104* d) RE: Origin: Flower of Scotland 02 Jan 18


'Freedom Come All Ye' was the one song sung at the ceremonial opening of the Scottish Parliament. It could not be claimed as the national anthem because of various complicated protocol reasons to do with the 'Union', but its presence there seemed to be stating it as the de facto anthem.
Both the words and the melody make it an infinitely better song than 'Flower of Scotland'.
