The most moving renditions of this song, for me at least, have always been when it is sung by 50,000+ Scottish football supporters on the terraces of Hampden Park. The worst renditions are when it is played through the tinny loudspeaker systems of Scottish National Party organisers combing the streets in vans on election day. Some would like F.O.S. to be Scotland's national anthem - others, particularly socialists, would prefer Hamish Henderson's Freedom Come All Ye. Almost everyone is agreed that Scotland The Brave stinks as an anthem.
