I can see just from the scenery and talk of the highlands how Nana missed Scotland. She came to Sydney Australia 1947 , 9 kids strong woman. Love ya Nana and miss ya. 🍀❤️
I am Scottish and Kenneth Mckellar was a brilliant singer it is a shame that non of the youth of today would respect some of the old Scottish Tenors and Singers.
Gill W I’m a scot and proud of our land ....but hope not to be separated from the rest of uk under Sturgeon!!! She don’t speak for me !! Glad you enjoy our music ....🥰
I want to send a tribute to my neighbour and friend who passed away last year at 84 give or take a few years he was scottish it was an honour to know him his name was William Irving l will never forget him ❤❤❤
As a Yank im saying, this song is so powerful,an intense that i got chills! You can hear his passion,an love for his country,from this man. This Yank says to the great people of SCOTLAND. "SCOTLAND FOREVER"!
@@LiftedBuddha You do realise this was Edward II, who was a wet week-end as far as battles went? Bannockburn was a crap defeat - but in the annals of the Scottish English haggle, just one battle. Had we been able to send James VI back we probably would. Mind you we cut off Charles Stuart's head, and chucked out his son. Bloody good song, though!
I grew up listening to this we immigrated to Canada in the 1950s what a strong tenor this man is gifted with , and honors this breath taking land that was fought and won for it and it's Freedom !!!!
I have similar memories with the big chest style record player that was in the corner. Dad would come home from work and say "I could hear that music at the bottom of the street. . ." Did you get a chance to see him in concert? I saw him on his last tour here in Australia and he sounded as good as (if not better than) the records or any other recordings.
Me too and always loved him. Wrote to him in my twenties and asked home where he might be performing,he said he’d be in Blackpool on a certain dates. I arranged to go there from west wales. I wanted to have his autograph,and asked the security if I could I could see him, he went to ask ,he came back and asked if I wasMrs Rees,you can imagine I proud I was he remembered my letter ,I was asked me to come to his dressing room.,had a chat and autograph. Was I a happy bunny.😊
God be with the days when we could hear this wonderful man singing on New Years Eve,every year on B.B.C. but no more Kenneth. Much love from Ireland Kenneth and may God rest your beautiful soul. I never listen to the B.B.C. any more.
Ah, it makes me feel like walking those green hills of Scotland. I visited once many years ago, and I've always held that land and its people in my heart. There are parts of Marin County (just north of San Francisco) that remind me of Scotland. By no coincidence, the town in that area is called Inverness!
Beautiful anthem -and it stirs my Scots heritage of 160+ years - yet it is amazing that it was written only 50 years ago. Long since my ancestors were forced out ..................
Love Scotland, de moltes parts del món. Diu la cançó o la llegenda que uns danesos van voler asaltar Scotland per la nit i en la foscor van topar amb les punxes del Card. Això va alertar el poble, es van poder defensar i véncer. Per això la Flor d'Scotland és el card, la planta més senzilla i la més potent. Love Scotland desde Catalunya. Quin pais té un himne a una flor? Love Scotland per sempre
I came looking for this singer because he was mentioned in the Hamish Macbeth book # 32. Pixie's channel with David Monteith is the best! Yes! A powerful voice worth listening to.
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, To 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, To 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, To think again. The Hills is bare nou, An Autumn leafs, Lies thick an still, Ower land that is tint nou, That thae sae darlie held, That stuid agin him, Prood Edward's Airmie, An sent him hamewart, Tae think again. 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, To think again.
These days most Scottish folk do not wish for Independence, and believe that unity with the UK will advance Scottish interests more effectively and provides them more of a say in world affairs than being independent would.
The best rendition of this is from the Scottish rugby international that first DARED to allow Scots to think that they might have a mind of their own. Atmospheric in the extreme - watch the eyes of the players, tentative they might have been in this first rendition but the crowd was rollicking and alive !
I did know that, and i'm not the arrogant one, did I once call people names, or mock thier knowable on certain histories no! I just gave my simple option.
I'm English and just want to say, why the f**k didn't you people free yourselves when you had the chance! Well welcome to the sinking ship that is Brexit.
At least your country is still there. I wouldn't mind having been bought and sold with English gold so long as the actual place continued to exist. I could go home ...
I can see just from the scenery and talk of the highlands how Nana missed Scotland. She came to Sydney Australia 1947 , 9 kids strong woman. Love ya Nana and miss ya. 🍀❤️
This makes you wish you were a Scot. What a wonderful voice he had, a great classical tenor. R.I.P. Kenneth McKellar.

Proud Scottish people! Greetings from Croatia! We love you!
I grew up with Kenneth singing on the record player in our living room. Great voice!

I am lucky enough to be born in Glasgow Scotland
Brings back lots of good memories of my mum singing this song but not with out tears and also a lot of pride of who i am and were i came from
God be with the days when we could hear this wonderful man singing on New Years Eve,every year on B.B.C. but no more Kenneth. Much love from Ireland Kenneth and may God rest your beautiful soul. I never listen to the B.B.C. any more.
you make me cry..............and cry...............proudly

I am American, with no Scottish blood, but i will stand for her freedom no matter what!
freedom for Scotland....greets from Poland
Takes me back to childhood , wonderful memories 💚💚

The best recording of "Flower of Scotland" I have ever heard!
After all these years, it still pishes me off how easy these songs are for him. His voice is simply perfect. At least perfect. Is he 80 yet?
Beautiful Scotland of my Fathers birth.
This bloke sings with passion; what a great voice.
A proud Boer this gives goosebumps few anthems has this impact on me
Beautiful anthem. I love Scotland. From Dhaka Bangladesh.
I love this song.

A best Scottish national anthem song in the world. I vote for that. A greeting from Ireland.
what a ROUSING Performance - thank X mr McKellar 🥰🥰🥰
I love very much this traditional song!
Still listening in lockdown 23 January 2021 what a voice
The English spirit of "Fair Play" will ensure that Scotland maintains its eternal "de facto" independence - "or else-----"!!!!
English taxes pay for Scotland to survive, maybe after independance that won't happen.
Awesome , proud and strong voice . Makes ones heart soar high.
Wonderful voice. The epitome of Scotland.
God bless Scotland & Poland
daniel2103ify fuck Poland they stealing our jobs

Good singer and music too
Thank you! I've been making this point for years, I'm glad others know what they're talking about.
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,
To 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,
To 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,
To think again.
The Hills is bare nou,
An Autumn leafs,
Lies thick an still,
Ower land that is tint nou,
That thae sae darlie held,
That stuid agin him,
Prood Edward's Airmie,
An sent him hamewart,
Tae think again.
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,
To think again.
I'm a unionist but I s love this song sa

THE SCOTTISH NATIONAL ANTHEM HOORAH
Scottish Independence 2014!!
Vote yes . Tell all your friends. Good luck.
Well done.
Forever My Flag grow high 🏴
There is a difference between the union on 1602 that created the United kingdom and the Union of 1707 which dissolved the Scottish parliament.
1603 is the union of the crowns. The UK was created in 1707. Probably intentional by England to bankrupt Scotland over colony set up in the Americas.
OOOOOOOOOO FLOOWWW'RRRR AY SCOOOOOTTTLLAAAAAAAND
Kenneth McKellar. There was a voice.
Scotland got the most beautiful national anthem
🏴ALBA GU BRATH 🏴
I did know that, and i'm not the arrogant one, did I once call people names, or mock thier knowable on certain histories no! I just gave my simple option.
