Although modern, this anthem commerates the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 when t he Scottish Army under Robert I (the Bruce) King of Scots defeated Edward II (of Canarfon) King of England. This ende d the English rule of Scotland. Ironically in 1603 Elizabeth I, Queen of England, Wales, Ireland and France* died childless an d her second cousin James VI King of Scots ascended to the English throne. Thus marriage achieved what the force of arms co uld not. * English and later British Kings from Edward III to George III adopted the titl e King of France though only one, Henry V was actually crowned in France abd became defacto Kinf of France. Anthem text cour tesy of Andrew Williams's Homepage . O Flower of Scotland, When will we see Your like again, That fought and died for, Your 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 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. Flower of Scotland, When will we see your like again, That fought and died for, Your wee bit Hill and Glen, And stood against him, Proud Edward's Army, And sent him homeward, Tae think again Sent by Carlos André Pereira da Silva Branco
