The song was written in the mid-1960s by Roy Williamson of the folk band Corries. It was first made public in the 1967 BBC television series. The words refer to the victory of the Scots, led by Robert the Bruce over Edward II at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Although there is no official national anthem for Scotland, Flower of Scotland is one of a number of songs that are used, along with the old Scotland Brave. The song was written and sung in English, usually with the Scottish pronunciation of a few words (e.g. Tae as opposed to To). The popular use of Song has been used as the anthem of the Scotland rugby team, ever since the striker, Billy Steele, encouraged his teammates to land him on the British Lions tour of South Africa in 1974. The song was adopted as the pre-match anthem of the 1990 Five Nations Championship match between Scotland and England, which Scotland won 13-7 and won a Grand Slam tournament. The Scottish Football Association adopted Flower of Scotland as its pre- match national anthem in 1997, although it was first used in 1993. Usually only the first and third verses are sing. The song was sung at the fights of boxer Jim Watt. The song was used as the anthem of Team Scotland's victory at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, replacing Scotland the Brave. This trend continued until the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, where it again became the anthem of team Scotland and was sung after the gold Scotland. He sang four times when the Scotland team won gold medals on the opening day. This use continued at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. The melody was originally written on Northumbria smallpipes, citation is necessary that play in D and have the advantage of keys to the chant to reach a larger range of notes. In July 2006, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted an online poll (published by Reporting Scotland) in which voters could choose the national anthem of one of five candidates. 10,000 people took part in the poll, in which Flower of Scotland emerged victorious with 41% of the vote. Scottish pirate metal band Alestorm performed a live cover of the song and recorded it on their album Captain Morgan's Revenge. In addition, the Canadian Scottish Celtic punk band The Real McKenzies included the song in the album Loch'd and Loaded as well as a staple in their live performance among many other traditional Scottish ballads.

  • United Kingdom National Anthems Comprehension
    United Kingdom National Anthems Comprehension The National Anthem of the United Kingdom is God Save the Queen. It was first performed as a patriotic song in 1745 but only became known as the National Anthem from the beginning of the 19th Century. God Save the Queen represents the whole of the United Kingdom. However, when England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland compete as separate countries in sporting events, they have other national songs. God Save the Queen God save our gracious Queen! Long live our noble Queen! God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen. Since 2010, England has used the song Jerusalem as their national song at the Commonwealth Games after it won a public poll. The composer, teacher and historian of music Hubert Parry set the short poem ‘And did those feet in ancient time’ by William Blake to his own melody. Jerusalem was written in the Victorian times in the middle of the industrial revolution, a time when many factories were being built and cities were crowded. The words of the song remind people of the beauty of nature and the countryside. It is considered to be England's most popular patriotic song.

  • PUBLIC PETITION NO. PE01541 Name Of
    PUBLIC PETITION NO. PE01541 Name of petitioner Chris Cromar Petition title 'Flower of Scotland' to be officially recognised as Scotland's national anthem Petition summary Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to Offically recognise 'Flower of Scotland' as Scotland's national anthem. Action taken to resolve issues of concern before submitting the petition In my time as a Member of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYP) I discussed this issue with many young people who believed that ‘Flower of Scotland’ should be officially recognised as Scotland’s national anthem. Also, I have spoken to friends and family members who already think that ‘Flower of Scotland’ is Scotland’s official national anthem, just like many others across Scotland. I have also looked into the history of the Scottish Parliament’s role in recognising a national anthem for Scotland and realise that there has been much demand for Scotland to have an officially recognised national anthem for many years now. This year’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow showed why ‘Flower of Scotland’ should be recognised as Scotland’s national anthem as the incredible passion of the athletes and spectators singing the song was unbelievable. Also, ‘Flower of Scotland’ is performed with passion before and during football and rugby union matches at Hampden and Murrayfield respectively. I have also looked at many opinions polls regarding an official national anthem for Scotland and these show that ‘Flower of Scotland’ is by far the most popular choice and now is the time to officially recognise it as Scotland’s national anthem. Petition background information ‘Flower of Scotland’ also known as ‘Flùr na h-Alba’ in Scottish Gaelic and ‘Flouer o Scotland’ in Scots is widely recognised as Scotland’s unofficial national anthem.

The United Kingdom is made up of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. All of these countries sing God Save the Queen as their official national anthem.

  • Scotlandthebrave (Pdf)
    Scotland The Brave March Trad. Revised 4/20/2010 Scotland the Brave "Scotland the Brave" (Scottish Gaelic: Alba an Aigh) is a patriotic song and one of the main contenders to be considered as a national anthem of Scotland. In June 2006, the song came second to Flower of Scotland in an online poll with more than 10,000 votes to determine the nation's favorite unofficial "anthem". The song was used to represent Scotland in the Commonwealth Games until it was replaced by Flower of Scotland from the 2010 games in Delhi onwards. Scotland the Brave is also the authorized pipe band march of The British Columbia Dragoons of the Canadian Forces and is played during the Pass in Review at Friday parades at The Citadel. In 2006, it was adopted as the regimental quick march of the Royal Regiment of Scotland. In the 1982, 1986, and in the 1990 FIFA World Cup the Scottish national team used it as its anthem prior to using Flower of Scotland. The tune probably first appeared around the turn of the 20th century, and at that time was sometimes known as Scotland the Brave. However, the lyrics were written around 1950 by the Scottish journalist Cliff Hanley for the singer Robert Wilson in an arrangement by Marion McClurg. Lyrics: Hark! When the night is falling High in the misty Highlands, Hark! Hear the pipes are calling, Out by the purple islands, Loudly and proudly calling, down Brave are the hearts that beat beneath through the glen. Scottish skies. There where the hills are sleeping, Wild are the winds to meet you, Now feel the blood a-leaping, Staunch are the friends that greet you, High as the spirits of the old Highland Kind as the love that shines from fair men.

  • Wake-Up Music; and It Is the Reason That NASA Management Has Neither Attempted to Dictate Its Content Nor Allowed Outside Interests to Influence the Process
    CHRONOLOGY OF WAKEUP CALLS Compiled by Colin Fries, NASA History Division Updated 3/13/2015 The idea for the Wakeup Call chronology arose as a result of my dual interests in the history of music and the space program. I discovered as soon as I began working as an archivist at the NASA History Office that there was no complete list of these calls sent from Mission Control. There have always been inquiries about flown items and mission events as we all know, and those about wakeup calls and music played in space encompassed a steady stream (no pun intended)! And NASA’s Web pages did provide audio for these calls beginning with STS-85 with the note that: “Wakeup calls are a longstanding tradition of the NASA program” -- yet nothing on when it started. One of the most frequent inquiries was and still is – What was the first wakeup call? (I later learned that it was “Hello Dolly” sent during Gemini 6). So with the blessing of the history staff I began compiling a chronology using the sources in the NASA Historical Reference Collection here at NASA Headquarters. The Space Shuttle portion of the Chronology proved to be the most challenging since the Johnson Space Center Audio Control Room Recorder Log began with STS-80. In 2005, I was able to visit JSC Public Affairs and make copies from their query books to fill in the gap. Still there were Space Shuttle wakeup calls, even entire missions, that remained elusive. The other sources that I used are listed at the end of this PDF.
