Description
Flower of Scotland, composed in 1966 by Roy Williamson (1936-1990) for the Corries folk group, has become the unofficial national anthem of Scotland.
Mainly used as the Scottish anthem at international sporting events, the song was initially introduced in the 1970's by rugby and football fans, who were adverse to the use of God Save The Queen, which is, of course, the official national anthem of the United Kingdom.
It does, however, regularly vie with Scotland The Brave and, to a lesser extent, Scots Wha Hae, as Scotland's anthem, and interestingly, all three songs commemorate the defeat of Edward II at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
This arrangement was originally commissioned by the CWS (Glasgow) Band - now the cooperation band - for their 1990 recording Flower of Scotland (DOY.CD005), directed by Howard Snell.
