    Stiring Patriotic Clip

    Following the links from The Corries Scotland the Brave on You Tube, I made it to a clip of Flower of Scotland.

    In this clip is a part from a Soccer Match in which Scotland is competing. Check out them singing Flower of Scotland before the match. Gives me chills to see it.

    Can you imagine an American sports team singing the National Anthem with such passion? I've never seen it. Perhaps because we choose to compete only against American Football teams and call them World Champions

    Thank you for sharing that clip. I enjoyed that immensely!
    "A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    Of course you mean Rugby Match
    Great clip, that version of Flower of Scotland has been in my mp3 for a year or so now.

    I have heard the Canadian national anthem thousands of times, but it never quite compares to when the entire crowd at a hockey game sings it. It exceeds all demographics of the people attending and is a crowd becoming one in pride. It's pretty cool.

    Very stirring! Got chills! I had heard that they were to lead the singing at the match, but Roy took a turn for the worst and was not well enough to do it. I can only imagine the impact of the sound of that many people singing it live. The recording doesnt do it justice.

    Lots of good Corries songs on youtube. I found "The Roses O' Prince Charlie" on there. One of my favorites!

    Nothing more stirring than a large group of people gathered and singing your National Anthem. No matter what your Nationality.
