The Flower of Scotland (Il fiore della Scozia) è uno degli inni nazionali "non ufficiali" della Scozia, che ufficialmente non ne ha nessuno.

The Flower of Scotland, Scotland the Brave (Scozia la coraggiosa) e Scots Wha Hae (Scozzesi Wha Hae) tra gli altri, possono essere usati in occasioni che ne richiedono uno.

Il fiore della Scozia commemora la battaglia di Bannockburn (1314) quando l'armata scozzese comandata da Robert il Bruce (Roberto I, re di Scozia) sconfisse l'armata di Edoardo II, re d'Inghilterra. Fu composto da Roy Williamson nel 1960.

Testo

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.

The Hills are bare now

And Autumn leaves lie thick and still

O'er land that is lost now

Which those so dearly held

That stood against him

Proud Edward's Army

And sent him homeward

Tae think again.

Those days are past 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.
