who wrote the words to flower of scotland
Flower of Scotland "Flower of Scotland" (Scots: Flouer o Scotland, Scottish Gaelic: FlÃ¹r na h-Alba) is a Scottish song, used frequently at special occasions and sporting events. Although there is no official national anthem of Scotland, "Flower of Scotland" is one of a number of songs which fulfil this role, along with the older "Scots Wha Hae", and "Scotland the Brave", amongst others.[1][2] Roy Williamson of the folk group the Corries wrote both the lyrics and music for the song.[3] The words refer to the victory of the Scots, led by Robert the Bruce, over England's Edward II at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
