Through the years, I come to hear this Song. I think it's the most powerful and heartfelt hymn of ALL. My respects to Scotish people. One from Argentina.
Being an Australian of Scottish descent I get quite emotional when I listen to patriotic Scottish songs. My paternal grandparents were McLeods from The Isle of Skye and I guess I must have a lot of Scottish in my soul. Roddy McLeod.
Inherited memories, I believe. The first time that I went to the village from where my immigrant ancestors left, I experienced an uncanny feeling of melancholy and death vu. I just stood in the street and bawled.
I grew up with the Corries. My dad used to play this beautiful, sensitive version of the song (and others) on a casetteplayer on a lazy sundaymorning. Happy to hear it again, instead of many sing-along versions.... Brings back good memories. Thank you! To me the Corries and their music represent the soul of Scotland, a country I feel deeply connected with.

OMG...what idiot gave this song a thumbs down!!! Of all the versions of Flower of Scotland, The Corries is easily the best. The passion in which they sing makes me cry every time. When I hear it in public, I get goosepimples and my heart bursts with pride being Scottish ♡♡
Yo sr d them home keep them a mm grand req 😢😢 and require that they learn and sing and teach their children flower of Scotland and Scotland the brave😊 Nd The brave Scotland
To be sure, one more version posted on the internet won't harm! Greetings from an Irishman living in Wales - love going down to the rugby club to watch the Ireland-Wales game each year. Always followed by the Calcutta Cup: win, lose or draw you should hear us all belting out this tune!
The great Corries - their great song sung in glorious harmony where two voices intertwine to form a golden outpouring, such beauty in their voices singing together; no others have ever achieved this.♡♡♡ ♡ ♡♡♡
Sung by the genius that wrote it the late and truly great Roy Williamson accompanied the equally brilliant Roy Brown. Between them they were The Corries and Scottish folk music has never been the same since Roy passed away and Ronnie retired.
So many comments on how good a ‘version’ this is. This is the ORIGINAL version. Scotland unofficially adopted it as their national anthem over Scotland the Brave. Both songs have their merit but you can see why this was the popular choice!
I really like this version. Its perhaps one of the most chill versions of them all. I must admit, I do love the original 1966 version but this is nice :) Thanks for the upload :)
You don't need to be Scottish to love this song. It is about national pride and acknowledgement of those who have gone before. I love The Corries. Sadly I only got to see them once. When I was a truck driver I resorted my drops so that I could be in Aberdeen on the night they were appearing. Gavin, Ronnie's son is now running The Corries website where you can buy a wide selection of memorabilia.
+Revolver Are Scottish? I'm English born and bred but I feel that my Celtic origins (father from Fermanagh) have made me particularly sensitive to songs and poetry which speaks to the human condition. I proudly wear the 2007 tartan cap created to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the writing of this song. If you haven't already done so do visit the website.
I know hundreds of versions of this Anthem of Scotland. But this is the most beautiful I heard for about forty years! "You can still rise now and be the nation again!" I am a son of Saxonians and Vikings! I will follow Odin and wil meet sometimes all brave Scots in Walhall!
@@thacabbagekid very true, its never been an anti English thing, its the fact that the union is unfair, maybe 1 day we will have independence and not part of the uk, but geologically we shall still be a part of britian and still european
We will stand with you anyway because of the british isles, maybe not as part of the uk, but as part of a great alliance within europe, an independent scotland will still be a part of britain
@@callyflop we don't want a murderer running our country ,or the pervert who taught her every thing (12 women didn't lie) or the pervert who couldn 't leave 16 year old boys alone and get paid for it ,or the one who tells us to lockdown while she goes where she pleases . These are all just tip of the iceberg the rest is kept hidden just now ,it will all come out If you don't like living here, GET OOT take the rest wae yi

@@gallantscotland8590 there's only one kind of protestant, the boy's in the lodge want to meet you so lets set up a meeting, or are you mcleods still running since 1745 get back to skye where yous belong
i love this , but as a scotsman am i not correct in saying the national anthem is still scotland the brave , Even though this is played at sporting events because it helps us with our dream of a free scotland .and not one thats getting dragged into the E.U. by salmond. I WANT INDEPENDENCE but not going from one union to another which is being overlooked. thanx
Independence will happen for Scotland sooner or later & as an Englishman ( Northumberland, so just lol ) I can't wait for England to be independent as well, I don't know what all the fuss is about though, just get on with it !
Sixty years ago, as a D FOURTEEN YEARS OLD, I found a copy of "The Socialist Sunday School Hymn Book" from which I secretly coveted the words of The Red Flag. As an active socialist all my days I sensed, in the mid-1970s, there was a gathering storm which would change the political landscape of Scotland. It has come to pass. Today I still cherish The Red Flag but now do not hesitate to honour and to fly its replacement-the Saltire.
Some interesting comments so far but I always thought William Wallace won a fairly minor skirmish at Sterling Bridge while the Bruce gave the English a fair old belting at Bannockburn. I guess at the end of the day the song is about all the Scottish heroes who fought for their nation. I thought "Braveheart" was a load of crap though!
Beautiful song.... Leys stay in the union as many of us have some Irish English or Welsh ancestry.. I had an Irish grandfather and English grandmother... But I am a Scot . Love all my fellow men as my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ asked us to
Saw the Corries Live in Edinburgh in spring 1974... Loved everything they sung but this song was just the best! Loved that year in Scotland!

O Flower Of Scotland,
When will we see, your like again
That fought and died for
Yer 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 a 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
♡♡♡ ♡ ♡♡♡
The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
For a land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
♡♡♡ ♡ ♡♡♡
Oh Flower Of Scotland,
When will we see, your like again
That fought and died for
Yer wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army

Thank you

Beautiful version, I have just discovered the Corries.
Such beautiful voices, They make me so proud of my
Scottish ancestry.
I wish people would stop slicing onions when I'm listening to this...

Well of course the Corries would sing it the best, it's their song. It was written and first recorded in the late 1960's.
10 dislikes as i write this. From 10 idiots... Or, more likely, 10 englishmen. (Which, I suppose, is the same thing really ;)
@@Albimar17 Send them home again......
Brilliant song, evocative and meaningful but England doesn’t have a monopoly when it comes to idiots.

One of my parents' favourites. They are both gone now but the song remains.

To live for ever as the new Anthem.

From another expatriate Scot. Pure Genious !
Finest rendition of our National Athem.🏴
We will never see there like again

Luckily, being Glaswegian, we were weaned on The Corries, The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, The Dubliners, Guthrie and Dylan. It's in my blood.
The North would stand with Scotland! Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle would stand with the Scots 💪🏻 🇬🇧

Long live Roy and Ronnie ! When will we see yer like again ?????????? Soon, I hope.

I doubt their like will be seen again.
So gentle. I think this is my new favorite version.
He wrote it...the younger one....and is no longer alive.
@mandolinda6 Thanks for this. This is my favourite version too (the version I remember from BBC Scotland as child).
Love Scotland...
One day soon 🏴🏴💙

Not for the no voters. Bit ironic looking at that iconic team singing a pro-independence song and yet voting against it.
And we shall rise again.
O flower of Scotland.
best anthem of all
Stand up fellow Scottish folk
yes yes yes
I wish I could buy this version. Anyone know where it's available online as an mp3?
this version is on I tunes
The people who dislike this must be miserably English
Anglophobia
Does anybody know WHICH Edward is being referenced here?
I believe king Edward 3rd of England but I could be totally wrong
Edward I (Longshanks)
A shout out to Glasgow, after a man called Jim Cowan, joined the army back in the 80s , my name is olly, we will stand against them 😂♥️
They wrote this song and its the best version by a mile
what album or recording is this version from? I LOVE IT
For my mum xx

Cmon the bonnie Scotland
slainte from ireland
I'm like irishborne, I adore the Scottish as well, I wish I had some Scottish inside me, but, unfortunately, I'm true English
Only fair as Roy actually wrote the song!!
William Wallace was'the Flower of Scotland" I, 've read accounts of his execution, and frankly, it would gag a maggot.
No, this song is about Robert The Bruce, and his victory over Edward the second at the battle of Bannockburn.
@@Ropponmatsu2 You are wrong Wallace was The Flower of Scotland.
@@littledikkins2 Too much "Braveheart." It's about Robert the Bruce, in that he WON. It's there in the lyrics.
Robert the Bruce did not win at Bannockburn for people in the youtube comments to confuse him with William Wallace
Some interesting comments so far but I always thought William Wallace won a fairly minor skirmish at Sterling Bridge while the Bruce gave the English a fair old belting at Bannockburn.
