saintnextlifetime Posted September 22, 2020 Report Posted September 22, 2020 Back in the day when the SNP was a party for independence , before the '79 group hijacked it , this song was regarded as the National Anthem and sung as such at Party events . . . .of course the words are credited to one of the most famous Scotsmen of all time. . Here's a wee bit fae Wiki ; "Scots Wha Hae" (English: Scots, Who Have; Scottish Gaelic: Brosnachadh Bhruis) is a patriotic song of Scotland written using both words of the Scots language and English, which served for centuries as an unofficial national anthem of the country, but has lately been largely supplanted by "Scotland the Brave" and "Flower of Scotland".

Slarti Posted September 26, 2020 Report Posted September 26, 2020 You are right , l reckon you would need to be over 12yrs old to know it. .Well, I've played it to my daughter (32) and my niece (19) and both of them say they don't know it. Why do you assume "many of us" would have learned it? Because you did? How many is "many"? Quote
