Lower your flags and march straight back to England, stopping at every home you pass by to beg forgiveness for a hundred years of theft, rape, and murder. Do that and your men shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will die today.
'm not Scottish at all, and I'm not even sure where I heard this song before, but for some reason, while cleaning my kitchen, I started singing the chorus.
i look out my window everyday to a landscape of beauty looking out i can see the clyde and also that nice mist rain we love :)) right over to loch lomond
This song is amazing in hampden park when its full or scotmen singing it! It creates an amazing atmosphere at halftime (Especially when scotland are playing well)
@madfly1088 hey shut up im english and love this song. dont steriotype all englishmen as idiots. i could say a lot of horrid stuff about scots but i wont. if you dont have anything nice to say go away
slightly confused... The song is loch lomond, and most pictures included in that slideshow was not Loch Lomond. St Andrews (my home town) is included and thats about 90 miles from Loch Lomond.
@EpicMilkshake Scotland is not a "free" country. We are part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which is free lol. Still - COME ON SCOTLAND, and MOST of Britain lol.
@EpicMilkshake sorry to say man, but we aint a free country.... yet. look into the scottish parliment at hollyrood, its a sham. i sincerely look forward to the day when we are free though, and i hope and believe it is possible to happen... sooner than later.... afterall, we are scottish! :D
@EpicMilkshake Thank God for Scots! Just about every nation owes some form of gratitude for the contribution of the Scottish people. I'm amazed at it all, and I'm damn happy to say I'm a Scottish American man! America: we have MUCH in common with Scotland and our liberty from England. Scottish American history is pretty fascinating. I cannot wait to go to Scotland and see where my ancestry began. Yea Scotland!
@EpicMilkshake We are under English rule, despite being among the bravest warriors the world has ever seen. Wallace, Bruce and the like were more a man than you or I will ever be. Scotland has been under English rule for 100s of years.
Devolution is not freedom, it's a loose grip on a very tight chain.
@JusAlec If you actually look back in history the last king of england during the england- Scotch war was in-fact a Scott, he kept england and Scotland separate states because he could see racist problems.
So if you think about it Scotland won that long battle not with the sword, but with politics
I've walked along the bonnie banks of Loch Lomod, and it was quite a sight. Some day, when I have the time and money, I hope to buy a cottage in the area. What great history and amazing ambiance. Scotland is such an amazing place. I plan to return soon, so I can hike the West Highland Way and spend more time rambling through Edinburgh.
Es gibt meiner Meinung nach in Europa kein Land, dass eine so faszinierende Landschaft wie Schottland aufweist... Gerade, wenn man auf diese teils rauhe Landschaft steht... Und die Schotten sind auch sehr nette Leute...
I've lived in england, south africa and australia, but there is something magical about the highlands that makes is the only place I ever really wanted to visit. my wifes great grandad was a wallace,so my kids have a connection with scotland,and my best mate is a campbell..so next year we're leaving the aussie sun behind, hiring a couple of campers and doing the full tour...can't wait, it all looks too beautiful
wunderschöne landschaft :) ich würde gerne nach schottland ziehen aber ich glaube ich hätte probleme wegen meines (trotz amerikanischen blutes) fehlerhaften englisch :D grüße an alle :)
I know this song from Cologne. Ist the hymn of the traditionell Footballclub 1. FC Köln ! The cologne ban " Höhner" take the musik und get a cologne text on it. We sing it before every game from the FC, together with 50.000 fans !
I have had the great good fortune of having traveled to Scotland twice in my life (from America). I am a Scotsman by blood and I truly felt I had "come home" when I set foot on Scotish soil. Alba Gu Bragh!!
@aktolman it depends on what generation american you are., if you are the first american born in your family, your scottish blood is thick, its gets thinner every generation that is born and so on. i have nae problem with yanks callin themselves "scottish" if you have 100 percent scots blood. you could be third generation american but if you have 100 percent scottish blood, it means a great grandfather has faught for freedom in this great land.
My heart beats for scotland...........before I die and of course it won´t be a long time ago, I will stay on the banks of the Loch Lomond, I want to see the Isle of Skye and I want to feel the wind in the highlands.........and after I die my soul will be going home........
