    I like how the bag pipes stopped playing yet the crowed continued to sing - awesome. Oh by the way I'm an Aussie and it is awesome how the Scottish are so proud of their country.

      I think it depends on the occasion, doesn't it? On some occasions they play only one stanza. But never the scottish. I remember one time, when the fans sang the second stanza and the Irish(I believe) interrupted by starting singing their anthem. Never interrupt the scottish ^^
      Cheers from Germany

    My ancestors moved from Scotland to the US a long time ago, not happy in Virginia, my great great grandfather moved to the wild mountains of Kentucky, because it reminded them of home, my Dad moved to Michigan, but we went to visit often, one night on grandpa's porch, far down the holler, I heard a piper playing, Flower of Scotland, I'll never forget that.

    O Flower of Scotland,
    When will we see
    Your like again,
    That fought and died for,
    Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
    And stood against him,
    Proud Edward's Army,
    And sent him homeward,
    Tae think again.
    The Hills are bare now,
    And Autumn leaves
    lie thick and still,
    O'er land that is lost now,
    Which those so dearly held,
    That stood against him,
    Proud Edward's Army,
    And sent him homeward,
    Tae think again.
    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 him homeward,
    Tae think again.
    O Flower of Scotland,

      I live in Inverness and if you want to go anywhere come here again. There's this one bridge on the river where in the winter you can see snow on the mountains and it's really nice.

    All around the world, the bagpipe is synonymous with Scotland. It is as iconic as shortbread, haggis and the kilt. So what do we do? We pick a national anthem that can't be properly played on the national instrument. They have to change the third last note of the song when it's played on the pipes because it's a funny minor note and consequently the whole tune loses it's punch. Personally I'm with Billy Connolly on what we need for a national anthem. It goes like this 'We come from Gibrovia and we don't give a sh1t' Repeat four times, cheer loudly, fail dismally, get drunk. Good enough?

    • @brhbrh6326
      @brhbrh6326 Рік тому

      Technically it's called a flattened seventh, as the tune is in the mixolydian modal scale. Quite often pipers will play the 3rd last note by going UP to the supertonic, which sounds well with the unison voices. Here the singers followed the pipers and didn't or were unable to suitably flatten the 3rd last note as you correctly noted.
