    Scotland the Brave is known to be Scotlands Anthem. It is a well known tune that first appeared in 1911. The lyrics were written later by Cliff Hanley for singer Robert Wilson in 1951.
    Battle of Stirling Bridge was once a Piobracht tune called "Cronan Na Callach".

    Does anyone else get goosebumps and the hair on the back of their neck standing up when they hear this? So haunting, so beautiful. I'm an old guy but just for fun I have a wake boat with an awesome stereo and I love to play this as I cruise down the lake to my fishing spot. Lol, I'm sure everyone thinks I am crazy.

    I was an exchange student back in the early 90's studying at Glasgow Polytechnic (I understand it's a full University now). Didn't have the first bloody clue what I was getting myself into but, regardless of what genetic disposition I have, I came home a Scotsman. Even went out and bought a Kilt (Black Stewart) for formal occasions after returning home. Whenever I found a street musician in a park, I'd park my hind-parts there and use their music to study to. When they (or I) were done, I always made sure to throw a few Quid in their collection "box". There was a pub on Sauchiehall street near Queen's Street Station that I wish I could remember the name of but I can't for the life of me that I spent loads of time at watching SPL on the Tele on weekends. Even took in an Old Firm match at Ibrox. Watching videos like this brings back so many memories of that wonderful place that I always considered a second home, even though I've not been there for many years. Nearing 50, going back is one of the few things I have on my bucket list.

      Starcloak Starside Its all peatland. The peatland in ireland and scotland is blanket bog and raised bog and its formed by high rainfall and the bedrock ,whereas tundra is formed by permafrost.The net result is the same the formation of peat which is a waterlogged acid ,partially decomposed soil and the plants that grow on all three types of peatland are more or less the same resulting in the landscapes looking very similar,even though they are the results of different climatic and geographic situations.
