Thread Name: 1997 op/ed on possible new Scots anthem
Subject: RE: 1997 op/ed on possible new Scots anthem
"O Canada" has a tune from Quebec, and there are French words (O Canada, terre de nos aieux, = O Canada, land of our forefathers), and also English words, which are NOT a translation. Maybe Scotland could take a hint from this. What about a bilingual anthem, in Gaelic and Scots [NOT English?!!]-- the possibilities are interesting, don;t you think? I must say, we'll have to keep out of it any blood like the French!!
