"Bruce's address to his Army" by Robert Burns (1793). Scots Musical Museum - Vol.VI No.577. Pub. James Johnson, Edinburgh 1803. Sung by Kirsten Easdale.
Next to Alex Beaton this is the best version I've heard. This woman sings this song like it should be sung - with a sense of power and force. Not like all other verions I've been listening to who sing it like they're afraid to get the words out or sing it like their first love song - good heavens! We're Scottish!!!!
We shall drain our dearest veins but they shall be free. A day until we are pulled from the EU against our democratic will. But Scotland will be back as an independent nation, a European nation. Saor Alba Gu Brath 🏴🇪🇺
So you're quite happy to break away from the UK only to then hand over your independence to the undemocratic EU? And you were not dragged out of the EU against your silly will Scotland had a UK wire vote on EU membership - and fortunately enough people could see through the charade which is the EU and voted to leave - many Scots too. The SNP are not even real nationalists to begin with, they are globalist pseudo nationalists at best and they don't speak for Scotland - only for the SNP and her fanatical followers who don't realise they are being played fools of. And the EU with its puppet parliament will not be here in the 10 or so years along with their wretched single currency. Brexit was the best thing we ever did 🇬🇧
It's highly unlikely. Battle of Bannockburn was in 1306. Bagpipes were not introduced to Scotland until the 1400s. They didn't start playing pipes on the battlefield until 1648.
This is the anthem we should have. Beautifully sung.
To me this should be the Scottish national anthem !
Stunning !
beautiful...Goddess what a voice!
WOW! in tears after that stunning!
If people only realized this is the battle cry desperately needed today.
God bless you, Murielle.
Amazing ,you are an absolute queen 👑
Chilling and warming at the same time. Although only one quarter Scottish, I feel whole when hearing this stirringrendition.
Goosebumps

I've read this melody formed the basis for Land o' the Leal (as sung by Andy M Stuart) and I can see the similarity.
This performance is far too little watched on RUclips. Great one Kirsten Easdale!

The tune was based on a Scottish pipe tune played at Bannockburn, he tutti tati
