Dark Isle Piper: Flower of Scotland

Flower of Scotland, the unofficial national Anthem of Scotland. Played on the Scottish Highland Bagpipes by Dark Isle Piper. 2017

"This is one of my Favorite tunes to play, and the Thistle is my favorite flower. To have a moment at Kilchurn Castle where my ancestor Sir Colin Campbell built this beautiful structure in 1475 was so breathtaking for me! The history and majesty of this place was captured in this film by my Husband Nick. Thank you for watching."
-Tress, Dark Isle Piper

Lyrics:

O Flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit Hill and Glen
~Chorus
And stood against him
Proud Edwards Army
and sent him Homeward
Tae Think again

The Hills are bare now
and Autumn leaves lie thick and still
Over land that is lost now
which those so dearly held
~Chorus
Those Days are passed now
and in the past they must remain
But we Can still rise now
And be the Nation again
~Chorus

Married I was to the Flower of Scotland. Purist Highland stock of the McBane clan. She bore 4 Beautiful Children, but Drunk I was, when I was. No tears Today as your Pipes sway my sweet forgiven frame and soul.

I'm American, but I have Scottish ancestors not horribly far back, and recently, for my birthday my mom got me a beautiful set of pipes. I love the pipes, and I'm extremely excited.

Your music is wonderful. I could listen all day. Thank you.

Ah, this is the song that made The Corries famous. I think they're as close as anyone has come in the past hundred years to painting the soul of Scotland through music. Somehow, I'd never heard this piece on the pipes before. Beautiful!

Most women have collections of shoes. Scottish women have collections of warm and often waterproof knee-high boots.
