Flower of Scotland

And the point of this reference is what, exactly?

Roy Williamson of 60s singalong pop group the Corries made this up. It's about the battle of Culloden, I think.
Those who know a thing ot two about Scots trad/In The Tradition music say fields where people run about chasing balls are quite the place for it.
A truer refection of Scotland's history and heritage, Hamish Henderson's Freedom Come All Ye, is infinitely preferred, were Scotland to opt, dubiously, for a "national" anthem.
