This is the problem when it comes to anthems.. we need to drop the chip on our shoulder ancient historical crap of 'flower...'.   Drop the archaic language of Auld Scots, which nobody understands..or twee heather and haggis of Scotland the Brave, and have something that represents a modern and vibrant Scotland in its new multi-cultural form. We need to look forward (even if we are a bit rubbish at football). Kids need to be able to understand any anthem.. esoteric relatively dead language which appeals amongst a limited audience is not the answer, though folk singers may get it and need to preserve their end. It is really difficult to invent something to order.. and get it into consciousness.. the unified viral spread of songs among a mass audience that happened in the days when we all listened to radio, the same TV and theatre, when music itself crossed generations, is so difficult in this fragmented age.
