I am a New Zealander, of Highland clearances descent. The only reason my ancestors came here was because of that. This song pulls me every each way. I can hear the words, and put the vision of New Zealand in its place. It makes the hair on the back of my neck, stand up. I see my great grandparents, sail away, never to return.
I'm French but not entery and more Spanish but i don't know how percents for Each. I stay for holidays in Skye Island and in Highlands and i think that i'm more Scottish than French. I don't explain why but it's real.
This takes my breath away! I didn't realize there were lyrics to Highland Cathedral; they are perfectly suited to the thoughtful melody. Scottish patriotism, music and architecture have a permanent home in my heart.
This version is so beautiful. I didn't realise there were words to this wonderful music. I was married at the end of January when my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumour and this carries such memories, as Highland Cathedral was played as we left the church. Thank you, Andy.
This song was sung today, ANZAC Day in Australia, at Anzac Cove, Turkey, where thousands of Aussies died at Gallipoli. The song really touched my heart for all that they sacrificed for our freedom. I had an Uncle who was there. Thank you Will.
Just found this....and now have words I can relate to...always proud to be Scot.. no w even more so...these words echo the feelings i have of being Scottish...didn't know they existed...especially to the tune my wife walked down the aisle to....Amen
The following are the most popular lyrics. Land of my fathers, we will always be Faithful and loyal to our own country. In times of danger, we will set you free, Lead you to glory and to victory. Hail, Caledonia, to our ancient prayer, in this Highland Cathedral, let our standards bear, Joining together with one dream to share, God bless the people of this land so fair. Gone is the past, let us start anew, Let this hope of peace always remain, Spirit of Scotia, be strong and true, then your children will smile again. Rise Caledonia, let your voices ring in this Highland Cathedral of our God and King, Whom, joy and liberty, to all, will bring, Come, let your heart, with love and courage, sing. Lonely the exile o'er distant seas, the home of their birth, gone from their eyes. Bring back their souls o'er the ocean breeze to the land where their fathers lie. Rise Caledonia, let your voices ring in this Highland Cathedral of our God and King, Whom, joy and liberty, to all, will bring, Come, let your heart, with love and courage, sing.
Proud to be Scottish 🏴🏴🏴 SCOTLAND THE BRAVE, everytime i See people writing that they love my beloved native Land I start crying, SCOTTISH NOT BRITISH 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Scotland my country the best country in the world.I am so proud to have been born there. I love Scotland so much.🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
I am proud we Germans could give something beautiful to Scotland. Hope it will become your Anthem. It just simply fits your Country. Such a beautiful Country. I love Scotland. My best friend is Scottish and I live in the US. I miss Europe so much but I am stuck here in this God forsaken country.
OK, I am Swiss, showing the plus but this is one of the most powerful melodies I know fitting perfectly the pure nature it has written for. Definitely a valuable candidate as the NA for wonderful Scotland. Can listen at it every moment!
I am my country like the flag I fly, And I will love her 'till the day I die, Bound to each other we will always be, I am my country: for eternity! And when my future takes me from my past, And for the shores of home I'd give my last, Stand me in waters in a peaceful sea, That's when I know she belongs to me. Now I shout from the mountains high I belong to her, I belong to her, Let no man ever doubt that I, am hers 'till the day I day So I shout from the mountains high I belong to her, I belong to her, Let no man ever doubt that I, am hers 'till the day I die I am my country like the flag I fly, I will love her to the day I die, Bound to each other we will always be! I am my country for eternity!
This melody was composed in 1982 by germans musicians Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb for a highlands games in Germany, the Music bring to all our tears!!! What a Feeling!! Thanks to the Autors for this wonderful gift ;) The Music bring us a really Union between countries😉
I am so proud of the land of my birth and I will convey my love where I will travel in the world and if I can pass this love on to just one person I am content Long Live Scotland and the Scots
Underbart med en mäktig och helt enkelt ljuvlig Musik ❤Jag vill skicka en riktigt fin hälsning från mitt Land Sverige 🇸🇪och jag älskar mitt land Sverige 🇸🇪❤😊
heard it for the first time from murryfield on tv. Scotland winning and hearing this fantastic song, I'm over the moon. Thanks for posting it and putting brilliant pictures to it. I'm really feeling homesick.
I heard it on radio nan Gàidheal for the first time yesterday - liked it a lot and was overly happy to find it here. Thanks for the beautiful pictures too, it's a great video!
Originally this song was written by a German guy, and the lyrics by an Austrian), but somehow we adopted it, maybe because it suits the pipes so much......
There are no "official" lyrics to this tune. They were added later, some are more well known than others but they are not HIGHLAND CATHEDRAL, highland cathedral is the tune written for the bagpipes when a highland games was being held in some part of germany. As much as i love these lyrics, they were not part of the compostion of this song. Meaning any lyrics you find are just parodies amd remixes per se
This song should certainly be the National Anthem IMO as one of the earlier comments has suggested. I am going to start a campaign to try to make this happen.
I dont wish to bring politics into it,.but everyone has their home nation that they love, some in the comments are Dutch,German,French,Irish,English and Scottish. Mine is Ulster 🇬🇧.
AppetiteForAwesome How could my country rape your culture? Your culture is part of my home country and I would never accept someone raping it. And how is my home country stealing your wealth? The whole country profits from the Union, otherwise it would not exist.
I take the point. I meant to say " Highland Cathedral" to the original words. I got my wires crossed! Of which, the original line was "Land of my fathers" I was inexact! Not sure if I like I am my country, though!

Makes you proud to be Scottish 🏴
Two patriotic lyrics and three hymn lyrics --- and counting.

What a tune if you're listening in 2021 after the year we all have had ,be blessed you have still patriotism in your heart God bless xx
Touching melody, lyrics and a beautiful clear voice. A hymn that honours wonderful Scotland.

eines der schönsten Schottischen Lieder das ich kenne

Thank you for the Inspirational Song. Love Beautiful Scotland!!!!
Thankyou Will - for great memories of NZ - nut now back in Scoland , wher I belong XXX
I am my country like the flag I fly,
And I will love her 'till the day I die,
Bound to each other we will always be,
I am my country: for eternity!
And when my future takes me from my past,
And for the shores of home I'd give my last,
Stand me in waters in a peaceful sea,
That's when I know she belongs to me.
Now I shout from the mountains high
I belong to her,
I belong to her,
Let no man ever doubt that I, am hers 'till the day I day
So I shout from the mountains high
I belong to her,
I belong to her,
Let no man ever doubt that I, am hers 'till the day I die
I am my country like the flag I fly,
I will love her to the day I die,
Bound to each other we will always be!
I am my country for eternity!

I am proud of my country and proud to be Scottish I like the song in tune to Highland Cathedral 😊🏴
Been to the Basel Tattoo last Saturday and saw this song performed live. Had tears in my eyes. Great song.
Sven Emmert I've been there to and it was so beautiful i'm happy i found it... I really love it :)
I am so proud of the land of my birth and I will convey my love where I will travel in the world and if I can pass this love on to just one person I am content Long Live Scotland and the Scots
Lucky you.

God bless New Zealand, Will's birthplace.

This song is so beautiful and this arrangement made me cry. Congratulations for posting the video. Amazing. Hugs from Brazil. 🥰❤🎵🎶
have heard several lyrics to this beautiful music, but this is the best yet.
Gänsehaut...Tränen in den Augen...
Underbart med en mäktig och helt enkelt ljuvlig Musik ❤Jag vill skicka en riktigt fin hälsning från mitt Land Sverige 🇸🇪och jag älskar mitt land Sverige 🇸🇪❤😊
heard it for the first time from murryfield on tv. Scotland winning and hearing this fantastic song, I'm over the moon. Thanks for posting it and putting brilliant pictures to it. I'm really feeling homesick.
Sung by Will Martin, a NZ lad, he's so good. Beautiful song, great pictures.
These words should be in all of our hearts. FREEDOM from the occupying English
Eine wunderschöne Hymne, wäre auch eine schöne neue Nationalhymne für Schottland
Absolutely beautiful 🙏
Just beautiful.
I heard it on radio nan Gàidheal for the first time yesterday - liked it a lot and was overly happy to find it here.
Thanks for the beautiful pictures too, it's a great video!
I yearn to move to Scotland, the land of my ancestors who were Macpherson's, how I long to go to Scotland. I am from the United States.
Me be STYLES.
My favourite !!!
This should be the national anthem of the United Kingdom. Blows 'Save the Queen' away completely.
Not really....
Maybe not United Kingdom but instead Scotland
imagine singing this at a football game though
beautiful country, although I have never been there.
God bless New Zealand, Will's birthplace.
This should be the Scottish national anthem.
I love the voice of Will Martin! He's such a talentet man
Originally this song was written by a German guy, and the lyrics by an Austrian), but somehow we adopted it, maybe because it suits the pipes so much......
sorry...no Austrians participated on this one...Roever and Korb are both Germans.
There are no "official" lyrics to this tune. They were added later, some are more well known than others but they are not HIGHLAND CATHEDRAL, highland cathedral is the tune written for the bagpipes when a highland games was being held in some part of germany. As much as i love these lyrics, they were not part of the compostion of this song. Meaning any lyrics you find are just parodies amd remixes per se
And it suits the pipes because it was literally written for the pipes
this got me all choked up.....should be the national anthem
Nice
This song should certainly be the National Anthem IMO as one of the earlier comments has suggested. I am going to start a campaign to try to make this happen.
I agree Jock & i am English,go for it
But not with these words.I'd rather have the Ben Kelly lyrics.
My country shelters me - gives security - ...if I work and do ...for my country is a part of myself
God made the world in 6 days,&,on the 7th he created Alba Gu Brath
Immense!
Canny beat Scottish songs. Especially bonnie banks of Loch lomond
At the risk of being pedantic, it's CANNAE. Canny has a different meaning all together.
@@Dunsapie you a person it's just corrected a word I spelled wrong. Or being a smart arse 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
well done!
so eine ausdrucksvolle STIMME , ich kriege Tränen in den Augen.
❤ God Bless Scotland
🏴🏴TIL THE DAY I DIE🏴🏴
I know this - to slightly different but equally good words.
❤❤❤
I rather like this non-traditional version of the lyrics too :D
Fantastic proud to be scottish

Come on Scotland this is far better than that derg flower of Scotland !
Both songs express the TRUE SCOTTISH love for OUR COUNTRY
I dont wish to bring politics into it,.but everyone has their home nation that they love, some in the comments are Dutch,German,French,Irish,English and Scottish.

Independence for our nation
Long live Scotland, long live the UK !!!!

+Thomas Hlubek That "home country" you talk about has done nothing but rape our culture and steal our wealth.
AppetiteForAwesome How could my country rape your culture? Your culture is part of my home country and I would never accept someone raping it. And how is my home country stealing your wealth? The whole country profits from the Union, otherwise it would not exist.
Independence is coming 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
I see.
Je ne suis qu'un français je ne comprends rien mais ca me fait dresser les poils sur les bras désolé
This should be the National Anthem. Compete with Russia NZ France Brazil Germany and Italy.
Forgot Wales
Think I prefer "Land of our fathers.." to these words. I don't object to the basic gist of that. Means the same thing.
I take the point. I meant to say " Highland Cathedral" to the original words. I got my wires crossed! Of which, the original line was "Land of my fathers" I was inexact! Not sure if I like I am my country, though!
Long live the United Kingdom and New Zealand!
Long live Scotland and New Zealand
A bit nationalistic, for my liking. but better than our current awful dirge. at least this has beauty to it.
There is NOTHING wrong in being NATIONALISTIC, if only more Scott's were we would be FREE now
long live Northern Ireland - but long live the United Kingdom! :-)
Agree with you 100% !!
Tall & proud brother ✔️
You mean the OCCUPIED North of Ireland
This is horrible. Hahaha, so bad. I can't stand patriotism. The lyrics anyways.
Fuck you Jesse
