Scotland the brave	Lyr Req: Flowers of the Forest ^^^ (14)	RE: Lyr Req: Flowers of the Forest ^^^	22 Sep 01
The Floo'ers of the Forest Hello my name is Tom, and I'm quoting from the sleeve notes of Ronnie Browne's c.d. battle songs and ballads. he says " In the year 1513, 80 Selkirk Souters left the town of Selkirk to join their king at the battle of Flodden. Only one returned alive. He carried with him a captured English standard. He told of the carnage of the battle and in anger twirled the flag around his head and cast it to the ground at his feet. The act of diefiance and the memory of those who fell in the battle,is commeorated to this day in the cermony of Casting of the Colours at the annual Selkirk common riding celebrations." I think that Souters were shoemakers.
