Thread Name: Thistle of Scotland
Subject: RE: Thistle of Scotland
The poster who said it should be the national anthem bar none said it had no mention of old enemies and battles etc. I think the verse about the thistle ending up growing on invader's graves is more than a tad warlike and jingoistic :-)
