Calidonia, by Dougie Mclean is probably my 2nd choice...

Any other contenders for national anthem. There's a lot to consider when choosing. Content obviously (and you don't need to be anti anyone to be nationalistic as was wisely pointed out last night) but also tune I think it should have something that puts fire in your belly.

Yes sorry I was running ahead of myself. Parcel of Rogues is a good choice. I reckon Burns would score highly in choices for national anthems

I think aliso means when us loonies shout "AGAINST WHO!"... a-la

"And stood against him
AGAINST WHO
Proud Edwards army..."

Yes?

And myself, I always prefered Parcel of Rogues... takes more skill to sing... Unless you do Flower like my band does, in a minor key... A much more interesting song that way...

In the official version it's proud edwards army. I'm sure you can guess what they think of proud edward in the unofficial version. If you cant it's spelt like walkers but one of the letters is changed. It's all the same to me I'm irish. As I said I'm just curious.

We had an early Burns night in Dundee last night where only Burns songs were sung. One of the topics that arose was if you could pick from all currently available material what would you choose for the national anthem or are you happy enough with Flower Of Scotland? It can be by anyone from any time.

Just wonderin'
