This modern anthem commemorates the Battle of Bannockburn (1314) when the Scottish Army under King Robert I (The Bruce) defeated King Edward II of England, and ended the English rule of Scotland.
Oh 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.
