Flower of Scotland

Is a strong contender to be Scotlands official national anthem. It also details the history of Scotland and its troubled relationship with England. Scotland is officially part of the United Kingdom, after centuries of struggle against British rule. However, the Scottish Football Association and the national rugby team adopted Flower of Scotland for their opening ceremonies before each game. It is especially significant when Scottish teams play against England, where the national anthem, God Save Our Queen is the ceremonial tune.
