Guitar: Scotland The Brave

Another request, this one is for Gizzod, a new Scottish friend. "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. In the 1982 and in the 1986 FIFA World Cup, the Scottish national team used it as its anthem.
The tune probably first appeared around the turn of the 20th century, and at that time was sometimes known as Scotland the Brave. However, the lyrics were written around 1950 by the Scottish journalist Cliff Hanley for the singer Robert Wilson in an arrangement by Marion McClurg.

....Good job but question where did you get the lyrics from that is so not right i can send you the right ones if you want

[threelegsoman]

@RomanceofKingdoms The lyrics I sing are those written by Cliff Hanley the journalist who wrote them around 1950 for the singer Robert Wilson in an arrangement by Marion McClurg. These are to my knowledge the first written lyrics for the song. The tune itself has been around for about a hundred years.

@Romanceof Kingdoms How can you say the lyrics are wrong if no one knows wrote it or when?

[athull08]

@RomanceofKingdoms you were probably thinking of "Scotland Forever" by John McDermott, which is a different song with the same tune.
