GUEST,Scabby Doug (nae cookie) alternatives to scottish national anthem (13) RE: alternatives to scottish national anthem 26 Jun 03


The Freedom Come All Ye is a stunner of a song.

Although I seem to recall Hamish Henderson being opposed to this being referred to as a Scottish national anthem, since that was contrary to the inclusive and internationalist theme of the song.

I like Dougie Maclean's Caledonia, but it's not anthemic - it's gentle and reflective.

Scots Wha Hae is great, but it's not positive enough - it's too anti-English

How about.... "Ye canny shove yer Grannie"?
