I know there's a million versions of The Flower Of Scotland already posted, but this version will always be my favourite because they sang it so beautifully in this recording, from their hearts.

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.

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.

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.

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!
