Pity we have sisters also jock - although I reckon something along similar lines

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

It works :mrgreen:

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!

kind of hard to scan that one, i had to stop for a breath at contributed!!!!

by **general jack o'niell** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 6:10 pm

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.

It's hand and hand together - an side by side we stand
we walk an weave our country - this our mothers land
standing shoulder high with others - the brotherhood of man
Scotland stand united - our freedom now at hand

"The brotherhood of man" were they not an English group ?
