'Scotland the Brave' - Scottish Patriotic Anthem [OLD RECORDING | LYRICS]

Scotland forever!

Now with English lyrics.

"Preserving history through music."

Pancm Archivum Musicum

The tune was first played probably in the late 19th century. The lyrics commonly used now were written about 1950 by Scottish journalist Clifford Leonard Clark "Cliff" Hanley for singer Robert Wilson as part of an arrangement by Marion McClurg. Another set of lyrics also often heard was sung by Canadian singer John Charles McDermott; they are closely based on the poem "Let Italy Boast" by James Hyslop, which was first published in 1821 in "The Edinburgh Magazine". However, Hyslop intended his poem to be sung to the melody of Sir Walter Scott of Abbotsford, 1st Baronet's "Boat Song" from "The Lady of the Lake" and not "Scotland the Brave".

Scotland is such a beautiful blend of Celtic and Germanic culture. Much love from the other side of the North Sea.

Wow, still get goose-bumps on hearing the 'pipes and that song...

[zytigon]

I see from Wikipedia that these are the1950s lyrics by Cliff Hanley. There are other 1821 lyrics by James Hyslop who intended them to be sung to "boat song" of Sir Walter Scott in connection to "The lady of the lake"
I humbly offer my alternative 2022 version:
High in the foggy highlands
Out by the rain soaked islands
weary are the folks that live
beneath leaden skies
Cold are the winds that meet you
shivering are the friends that greet you
hurrying for the warmth that greets
from house and car again

Far off in sunlit places
Glad are the Scottish faces
rejoicing not to feel the pissing
of cold Scottish rain
where dreich skies are teaming
memories set the heart a dreaming
longing and booking
for warm sunny holidays again
