I'm Canadian and this song is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I often play it and it sends shivers through me. I can't even imagine how intense it must be for people in Scotland to sing this. :) I love Scotland.
This is f**king BRILLIANT!!! (and I'm English, by the way). Especially the "'gainst who?'!!!" bits in between the lines...love it! Good singing, folks!
Me, a German, watching a German video about one of my favourite bands singing a hymne of my favourite country, Scotland, at a German-Scottish football match in Germany. 🏴❤
I am from Germany but my heart is scottish and Irish. Hope i see many of yours in Holland and in Hampden Park. Coming to scotland for the last two games in the qualifying.
First of all...great respect to your and your people scotland..it´s amazing how proud the people are when the sing their anthem, they really enjoy singing it.... i´m sad that´s not like tihs here in germany... and by the way, your hymn is really good !! go for it scotland
How fantastic of you to deduct that from my post. I'm as happy as the next guy that Scotland won and have a big chance of qualifying, but that doesn't mean I have to take shit from tims.
@mm2862 Your comment made me smile. I think it's fantastic you are "related' to Donnie and that your heritage, like mine-is SCOTTISH! My ancestors , since the 1100's at least, are from Stirlingshire-the county that contains Denny, Stirling, and it's western border is....Loch Lomond! When I hear Donnie sing Loch Lomond, my heart grows large and I melt. Cheers and a Crackin Holiday season to ya!
Also born Swede with Scottish blood in the veins, this song makes the blood boil! Greetings from the northern wastelands to the worlds most beautiful country :D
In fact, we in belgium, with my student association, we sing Flower of Scotland and Wilhelmus (Netherlands) :p Yet, one of my favourite anthems is this one :)
@Edward1312 The Indians were NOT on anyone's side but their own-from the get go. I hope Scotland becomes Free without anyone getting hurt or killed. I also love Donnie Munro-who is singing here people! I am an American (ANTI-Obama) of both Scottish and English decent and it's easy for me to side with Scotland, cause my heart tells me too xxx
great post, agree 100%. i hate it when they stand there looking like their about to be shot by a firing squad. Im sure the players want the fans to be passionate to give them a lift but the fans need to see that the players are up for it too...
Flower of Scotland is undoubtedly the de facto Scottish national anthem, although it might not be the de jure national anthem. Ask the Scots what their national anthem is and there's no denying that the majority of us would say Flower of Scotland.
How sad, to hear such thoughts expressed. I am English, and have lived many happy years in Scotland. The Scots have every right to be proud of their nation. No reasoning Englishman would think otherwise. The hate you perpetuate does nothing other than shame you. The decent people of England, and there are many, are not defined by our government, any more than your governments choices and actions represent your own. Put away the hate, it is the weopen of ignorance.
Here's some Scottish National facts for you.. The Scottish National Anthem (Scotland the Brave and Flower of Scotland) is the only National Anthems in the world that are regularly played and/or sung in other country's by none Scots. Scotland is the only Country that has 2 recognised National Anthems. The Scots are the only Nation that do not stand or be quiet to their National Anthems. Famous Quote "Here's tae us, Whas like us ? Gie few an thur aw deed."
@Rfc1Darryl Cheers to ya! I've been reading most of this feed and my sides hurt from laughing. Darryl, you and other "Scots" in here -make me proud. BTW-William Wallace helped defeate the english on my ancestoral land (Stirling, Falkirk,Denny). Scotland Kicked alotta English "warrior wanna bees". Suck on that, troll. One more thing, my Denny ancestors fought against the English in the REVOLUTIONARY war....Guess who fought next to my Great (times many) grandfather? Fact: a bunch of Scots!!!
He misses out the following verse: "those days are past now, and in the past, they must remain, but we can still rise now, and be the nation again! that stood against him, proud edward's army, and sent hime homeward, tae think again
can you please tell me where on that final we dived? If you remember well, that penalty the french got on the beginning was a dive, and again we scored a disallowed goal... I agree that final was nothing much, as most final in terms of good play. I sent you a message about it...
I know this sounds mad, but I am hoping things stay the same, (I admit that I did say differently a few months ago on this video) because if they re-write the flower of scotland, they would be erasing some of the words that the late Roy Williamson (god rest him) wrote.... What do you think?
My mate is born and bred in Edinburgh, fully paid up member of the TA. Second generation Pakistani, loves are Scotland football and Pakistan cricket. Watches all Scotland home games and some away games too. To say the TA are racist, yeah whatever !
I taught Italy learned your lesson at the world cup 2002 when Italy went 1-0 up and went back to defence and I think Croatia beat yee 2-1 at the end...... But no the world cup final (2006) was a shambles, a disgrace.. The only thing to talk about was Zidane's crest-butting...
top 3 national anthems: 1. Scotland 2. Russia/England 3. Sweden (note: i´d put my own at top if more started ppl sing it, but as it is, no one seems to care... i promise you not even 50% of all the ppl in sweden between the age of 1-20 knows the lyrics!)
I support scotland as-well. I was hoping they would get through to the european championships..... they will definatly going to the world cup anyway. Ya have a kick-ass manager at present.......
No, I just think that it's perfectly possible that Scotland can now govern itself. I don't want us to estrange ourselves from the Irish (north or ROI), Welsh or English and I personally don't intend on doing so. However, the union is past it now, there's no point anymore. We'll both still be in the European Union together.
hey chugger 2 hotty found a comment by you on another flower of scotland video where you say scotland are bigots and they are shamed youre havin a laugh mate
Ireland's call is played at every irish rugby match, thus it must be recognised as a anthem national or otherwise I checked it on the internet and the flower of scotland won the tv vote over scotland the brave in the 70-80s (I think)quote me if I am wrong.....
GSTQ is the anthem for the UK, Land of Hope and Glory is the English National Anthem. Sweet Chariot is not a National Anthem. Irelands call is not a National Anthem. Flower of Scotland is officially recognised as the National Anthem for Scotland and is played at the start of most major evens, however Scotland the Brave is the actual National Anthem of Scotland. Scotland the Brave is played by pipbands all over the world, I guess most don't even know that it's a National Anthem they are playing.
Gives me goosebumps every time I hear that version of Flower of Scotland 🏴 makes you proud to be Scottish
I'm Canadian and this song is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I often play it and it sends shivers through me. I can't even imagine how intense it must be for people in Scotland to sing this. :) I love Scotland.
I am an Indian living in Canada now. but I think the Scots are one of the greatest people on earth. I am proud of you man.
This is f**king BRILLIANT!!! (and I'm English, by the way). Especially the "'gainst who?'!!!" bits in between the lines...love it! Good singing, folks!
As a born Swede but part Scotish I send big greetings from Sweden :)
Bonnie Scotland in my heart!
CHEERS FROM CANADA
beautiful song :)

Flower of Scotland has to be one of the best national anthems in the world.
LOVE DONNIE! (A finer voice you will not find...) From an Englishman, with great respect.
Superb . John from Ireland

that stood against him,
proud edward's army,
and sent hime homeward,

MON THE SCOTLAND

I know this sounds mad, but I am hoping things stay the same, (I admit that I did say differently a few months ago on this video)

@tworedballoons great comment.
proud ..Edwards Army ..
I'm looking for the version in Scots gaelic, Flùir na h-Alba..but no joy.. Great anthem, scottish independence!
what do they scream after the words "and stood against him"?
Some examples of how being part of the UK has been so good for Scotland within the EU would be great.
oh no
But how in Highland Gaelic?
I remember ronny
i was there.
stirring music heres tae us whaws like us etc.,
Donnie!👍👍👍👍
Good luck Scotland!!!!
We Love You!
Israeli supporters
Donnie, the one and only !!!

im F-ing proud of them :D
i love scotland :D(L)
Oh, I never knew that about Irelands Call, my mistake. I guess Ireland has 2 Anthems as well.
GSTQ is the anthem for the UK, Land of Hope and Glory is the English National Anthem. Sweet Chariot is not a National Anthem. Irelands call is not a National Anthem.
Flower of Scotland is officially recognised as the National Anthem for Scotland and is played at the start of most major evens, however Scotland the Brave is the actual National Anthem of Scotland. Scotland the Brave is played by pipbands all over the world, I guess most don't even know that it's a National Anthem they are playing.
Why always this song against Italy? You have many anthem? this is awesome. one of most beatiful in the world.
Yay Donnie! ^_^
who's the one with curly hair...can't remember his name ? He played at West Ham I think.
