https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRYzoHnbi70

This is a "must hear" one <3 .... and Kelly Brown's not bad to look at either ;-)

Thought you'd like this info

HIGHLAND CATHEDRAL. Pipe tune. Although often mistaken for a traditional Scottish tune, it is actually a modern composition by two natives of Berlin, Germany, Michael Korb and Ulrich Roever. The composers were inspired by the story that, under the reign of King James I of Scotland, all the clan chiefs were summoned to a secret meeting at the Highland Cathedral. There they were to pledge an end to clan feuds and infighting and to promise to keep the piece. This they did, but only for such time as the king lived. The piece was intended to mimic the feeling of a national anthem. The tune was chosen by pop singer and actress Madonna as a wedding march at her wedding at Skibo castle in 2001.

Another favourite .... and a fun one to lift our spirits

Here are the Anthems for the Sing-a-Long

SCOTLAND

O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND (Matchday Version)

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

Those days are passed 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


FRANCE

LA MARSEILLAISE
Allons, enfants de la Patrie
Le jour de gloire est arrivé!
Contre nous, de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats?
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras
Égorger nos fils, nos compagnes!
Aux armes, citoyens!
Formez vos bataillons
Marchons, marchons!
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons!

La Marseillaise now ..... it's actually a very bloody (literally) anthem ...

English translation:

Arise, children of the Fatherland
The day of glory has arrived
Against us tyranny's
Bloody banner is raised
Do you hear, in the countryside
The roar of those ferocious soldiers?
They're coming right into your arms
To cut the throats of your sons, your women!
To arms, citizens!
Form your battalions
Let's march, let's march
Let an impure blood
Water our furrows!

:-D :-D :-D :-D
