Scotland the Brave (Bagpipes)

"Scotland the Brave" (Scottish Gaelic: Alba an Aigh) is a patriotic song and one of the main contenders to be considered as a national anthem of Scotland. In June 2006, the song came second to Flower of Scotland in an online poll with more than 10,000 votes to determine the nation's favourite unofficial "anthem". The song is used to represent Scotland in the Commonwealth Games.

Scotland the Brave is also the authorised pipe band march of The British Columbia Dragoons of the Canadian Forces and is played during the Pass in Review at Friday parades at The Citadel. In 2006, it was adopted as the regimental quick march of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.

Scotland the Brave (in schottischem Gälisch Alba an Aigh) ist neben "Flower of Scotland" und "Scots Wha Hae" eine der drei inoffiziellen Nationalhymnen Schottlands. Sie wird als schottische Nationalhymne bei den Commonwealth Games verwendet.

Des weiteren ist sie der autorisierte Pipe Band-Marsch der The British Columbia Dragoons der Kanadischen Streitkräfte und wird während der "Pass in Review" bei Freitagsparaden an der Militärschule "The Citadel" gespielt.

2006 wurde es als schneller Regimentsmarsch des Royal Regiment of Scotland eingeführt.

Scotland the Brave (Alba an Aigh en gaélique écossais) est, avec The Flower of Scotland, l'hymne national écossais.

Scotland the Brave (en gaélico escocés, Alba an Aigh) es una canción patriótica escocesa, y una de las candidatas para ser el himno nacional de Escocia. En junio de 2006, en una encuesta en internet organizada por la Royal Scottish National Orchestra, esta canción quedó segunda, sólo por detrás de Flower of Scotland, como favorita para convertirse en himno oficial. De hecho, Scotland the Brave ya se utiliza para representar a Escocia en los Juegos de la Commonwealth.

«Scotland the Brave» (шотл.(гэльс.): Alba an Aigh) патриотическая песня народа Шотландии; претендует на звание неофициального гимна Шотландии.

Scotland the Brave è considerato uno degli inni non ufficiali della Scozia.

Scotland The Brave is een van drie onofficiële volksliederen van Schotland. De andere zijn Flower of Scotland en Scots Wha Hae.

Scotland the Brave é um dos hinos não-oficiais da Escócia junto com Scots Wha Hae e Flower of Scotland. Geralmente é executada como uma marcha binária 4/4.

Scotland the Brave (Skotsk-gælisk: Alba an Aigh) regnes som en av skottenes nasjonalsanger, og blir blant annet benyttet som nasjonalhymne ved Samveldelekene. I likhet med England har heller ikke Skottland noen offisiell nasjonalsang, men Scotland the Brave benyttes tradisjonelt som nasjonens sang - ofte sammen med Flower of Scotland. Teksten er skrevet ca. 1950 av journalisten Clifford Leonard Clark Hanley (1922 - 1999).

Wow. I'm by no means Scottish ( actually English and French) by my god, when I hear those bagpipes, goosebumps raise and some primordial, beautiful animal emerges from hiding. Maybe I have some hidden celtic blood in me, because this stirs my soul to boiling point. Alba Gu brath indeed.

Nobody here is trying to say we are Scottish nationals. If we're American, we're American. We come here to videos like this to honour our heritage and our ancestors who DID come from Scotland, because Everyone in America came from somewhere else, so we can remember our old world origins and enjoy some class-A bagpiping. No need to get butthurt about a trivial thing, my friend. You should be happy Americans are curious about the world...we tend to sometimes be insular.

That's odd. I have lived my entire life thinking I was Scottish, my mother being born and raised in Scotland but having moved to the United States, and the entire rest of my family still living there. Thank you for informing me otherwise.

It's amazing what you find when you trace your lineage. My brother in law's wife traced her family tree, and traced my husband's, and found that going back hundreds of years, they were related. Same clan.

If you don't know where you've come from, you don't know where you'll go. There's a place in Scotland my husband always wanted to visit, just felt a need to, after hearing just the name. Research showed it was in an area his clan is from.

My grandmother might disagree. Born in Scotland, raised in Ireland. Proud as hell of her heritage. I'm of two clans by blood, by both my grandmothers (One was half-Scottish, and visited family in Scotland), and another two by marriage. Thankfully, none are Campbell or MacDonald, though my ex was MacDonald. Should have listened to my grandmother.

Oh, by the way, I'm in Australia. We're everywhere.

Touch not the cat bot a glove. Si je puis, 'If I can'.

+1 to Josh Nixon's comment. Be glad that the bloody Americans take pride in their ancestry and an interest in Europe.

This always gets my blood pumping

I have never seen so many damn 182scotty182's pretending they're cool because they were born in Scotland or whatever. I was born in America raised in American but my blood is Scottish. That's what makes you Scottish. Simple
