The arrangement below of "Scotland the Brave" is for piano solo, but it can also be used to support and accompany singers and other musical instruments. Another folk song strongly associated with Scotland is Auld Lang Syne. "Flower of Scotland" was written by Roy Williamson of the folk duo "The Corries". However the song "Flower of Scotland" has more recently been used as Scotland's Anthem, particularly at International Rugby events. Scotland does not have an official National Anthem, but "Scotland the Brave" was formerly used as an anthem at sporting events where Scotland was represented separately from the rest of the United Kingdom. The lyrics were written in 1950 by Cliff Hanley though the origin of the melody in unknown, it being thought to date back to approximately the year 1900. "Scotland the Brave" is a Patriotic Song in the Folk Song tradition. You won't.Īnd I remember that semester as if it happened yesterday and is happening now.Scotland the Brave - former National Anthem of Scotland Some fear they will be missing something by leaving. I encourage students in college to make this experience of their college career. I tried, by working in another country for six years, but the student experience provides a unique moment in time that can't fully be recreated later. Traveling overseas as a student is an experience that is hard to replicate in another part of your life. In Scotland I discovered soccer, Caravaggio, William Wallace, scotch, hiking, history, music, other people and, most importantly, my self.
I recall the side trips to Orkney, Portree, London, Bath, and Edinburgh equally to the moments on campus as a student studying history and education in another nation. It was absolute magic! All the experiences associated with travel - language, food, smells, conversation, relationships, sounds - were amplified because it was my first experience like this. My first travel overseas was as an undergraduate on a semester study abroad to Stirling University in Scotland.
Hopefully we recognize the importance and value of experiences as we live through them. We tend to remember "firsts" in our lives.
