  • First, this sounds like every national anthem I've ever heard. Then, why post a version without the words? Just sayin'. Last, and perhaps most important, this song (at least as it stands) is stultifying, not rousing. If you have to lose 'Flower of Scotland' (why?) then why not make the unofficial one official? Of course I mean the Proclaimers' wonderful "500 Miles". From a quick study here at youtube, apparently it's impossible to be too drunk at least to sing the chorus=lager louts at matches!

  • more pipes

  • yea its true this sound like a uvf ceremony tune,, its scotland not protestant freedom!!

  • no likey this...it has too much pomp and ceremony........not stirring at the heart strings enough and actually can you see the boys ar rugby or footie singing this I don't think so..sorry

  • Flower of Scotland is the best anthem in the world and one that every country is envious of, WHY ON EARTH would you want to change it?

  • if we need a new anthem then rabbie`s a man a man would be a great choice

  • PISH !

  • Sounds like a mix of nation once again and rule Britannia... Not gud for hopefully a truly independent country!

  • I am a supporter of Flower of Scotland. I think it's right we have an anthem that celebrates our history. And it's not anti-English: nowhere is there a reference to England or the English, just 'Proud Edward's Army'. It's about the people uniting to fight a tyrant. If it's not anti-German to celebrate the defeat of Hitler, it's not anti-English to celebrate the defeat of Edward. But the big selling point is that everyone already knows Flower of Scotland and will belt it out with passion.

  • @markieboy1983

    Apart from the bit you all yell "England" obviously......

  • Maybe its just me but from about 58 seconds on it sounds like a mix of auld Lang syne and a nation once again .I have to say I am English and removing politics aside I love the Scottish national anthem and the passion the Scots sing it with I personally think its irreplaceable.

  • wtf is this !!

  • very nice like it lovely

  • naw it's a nice music but I like Flower of Scotland more rousing canny see the tartan Army singing this but it'll be good in it's place no an Anthem though.

  • Sounds more like a hymn you would sing in church, i like the passion and excitement of the current one.

  • I'm all for a free Scotland, but, I don't think we should change the anthem. The one we have is great and deals with the life journey from past to present. Move forward move free but never forget your past........

  • INDEPENDENCE for SCOTLAND !

  • @glasgow1234 agreed.

  • Scots wha hae should be our national anthem

  • I think when Scotland becomes independent then we really do have to change our national anthem. Flower of Scotland is singing about the past and is kind of sad, but with independence we will need an upbeat positive anthem. Of course it just has to include bagpipes. I really liked your take on a new anthem but not so keen on the keyboard sounding part. The same tune but with a bit more bagpipes would be brilliant for our new anthem.

  • Not to my taste I'm afraid. . Self indulgent stuff at best. Not a National anthem in the sense that I can imagine a whole nation chanting ...and feeling.

  • for goodness sake, they wouldnt change the national anthem, but its a good tune,

  • write some lyrics for it and then we'll talk

  • im sorry but im all for a republic of scotland and im a proud scot but this tune sounds like it should be played at funerals

  • Here's to the Republic of Scotland 2015-!!!!

  • @davedavid86 Scottish republic? lol the snp back the monarchy.

  • I really like it

  • I thought that flowers of Scotland was the anthem

  • very good

  • Hi Alan,

    Just listened to your anthem, really impressed, clearly you have not lost your touch.

    Best wishes

    Jack Tait

  • Wow, really moved me, great Scottish song! well done.
