I was watching a parade on TV the other day and there was a Scottish Pipe band playing.  It made me think about the pipes.  When I got to my desk I turned on this song as done by Red Hot Chili Pipers.   It’s not a traditional version but it brought back plenty of memories.

This is a sing along kind of song.  In case you feel the urge here are the lyrics

Flower of Scotland
by Roy Williamson of “The Corries”

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.

0 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.
