WikiProject Scotland To-do:

Authorship

I think at a minimum the article should also mention whomever wrote the lyrics, if known, and the approximate date the lyrics were written. I also feel one could easily start a list of movies in which the song has a prominent appearance, such as "The Devil's Brigade". I suppose "Braveheart" will be on the list but I haven't seen it, so I can't say.

[edit] Impossible song

"There is also an alternate set of lyrics by John McDermott 'Scotland Forever,' sung to the same tune"

can't possibly be sung to the same tune. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.41.203 (talk) 19:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fourth Verse?

I've read lyrics that have a fourth verse that goes like this:

Hot as a burning ember,
 Flaming in bleak December
 Burning within the hearts
 Of clansmen afar!
 Calling to home and fire,
 Calling the sweet desire,
 Shining a light that beckons from every star!

They can be found here and here. I don't know how often this verse is heard or used, or if it's part of the original song or anything, but it may be worth noting that it does exist. --Hazey Jane 07:34, 1 August 2005 (UTC)


[edit] "Probably the best known"?

I've taken out the "Probably the best known" clause. It's not cited, and seems to me totally untrue. "The Flower of Scotland" is almost undoubtedly the best known candidate for a scottish national anthem, due to it being used universally at football and rugby matches participated in by the scottish national teams. 87.127.77.20 18:01, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia-

I'm going to try to assimilate the trivia section into the main body as trivia sections are genereally not particularyl good form in an article. I've removed the following claim as it is useless without more detail ot a link to the film, it nmakes no sense, why was it anachronistic? --Brideshead 19:01, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


I've also removed this upon research.

It doesn't really make sense, also there is no mention if this here - [1] and I can't see how these lyrics would fit the tune. Feel free to retore it if anyone can provide a reference. --Brideshead 19:15, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
