Ewan, I don't hear much of a resemblance at all.

Could you explain precisely how "Flanders" resembles "Scotland"?

To my ear, "Bonny Glenshee" may be a smidgen closer to "Scotland the Brave," but I can't imagine anyone ever confusing them!

Corrigan's "Irishman's Toast" of ca1910, however, hardly differs from "Scotland the Brave."
