Brothers: 2: one related to another by common ties or interests
It works

sorry to be editing rather than adding but might this scan better?
united all as brothers
with our love for this land
i'll have a go at adding one to that, simple and obvious
"from the highlands to the lowlands"
"from port ellon to dunbar"
"united as one scotland"
"tho we be near or far" (sean connery wouldn't scan!!)
chorus
rise up, ye sons and daughters
come raise the standard high
and join as one, in freedoms song
our own, our dear Scotland
that bri-nylon enough for you?
if not, i'm keeping it and making up a tune on the black keys on the piano (try it, you can play any scottish tune you want)

Who is a Scot?
by Gerry Haughey
Who heard the ancient battlecry?
A chieftans bloodied sword held high,
To a cloudy cross in the azure sky,
Who is a Scot?
Who saw proud Wallace's face?
Guardian of our Celtic race,
Slay tyrants with his sword and mace,
Who is a Scot?
Who smelt the blood and sensed the fear?
Who felt The Bruce's spirit near?
At Bannockburn who shed a tear?
Who is a Scot?
Who knew the pride felt at Arbroath?
Which freemen love and tyrants loathe,
To sign the pledge and take the oath.
Who is a Scot?
Who felt the shame and shivered cold?
Their heritage and their freedom sold,
For a wagonload of tainted gold,
Who is a Scot?
Who paid a heavy bloodsoaked toll?
So foreign powers could ne'er control,
My Gaelic heart and Celtic soul,
I am a Scot!

that'll do for me bill, if it just had the word b@st@rds in it, it would be perfect
i am a scot, ya bass
might work
come o'er the border, if your willing
and don't forget your silver shilling
you won't take our cash when we're south
your sick relation, nil by mouth
yet ne'r refuse your share of spoil
ye steal by rape our scottish oil
then questions of the lothian kind
you treat us like we're dull of mind
your welcomes, overstayed i fear
yes, independance soon we'll cheer.
