jamamafegan Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The SFA has opened an online vote for the national anthem. I voted Highland Cathedral. It's an excellent song and would make a perfect anthem IMO. Flower of Scotland is a shite national anthem and should be made redundant after last September. Same goes for Scotland the Brave Slave.

Richie95 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Either Caledonia or Highland Cathedral would do me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Caledonia is a good song but makes no sense as a national anthem it's about someone not living here. Highland cathedral is a nice tune but has no official lyrics, all the versions I have seen are twee shite. A man's a man or freedom call ye.

BFTD Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Sill love Flower of Scotland. Shame the arrangement is such a farce at international matches. A lack of lyrics should be no hindrance for a national anthem, however. There are precedents. An instrumental anthem would also do away with any divisiveness that the lyrics to something like Flower of Scotland presents, albeit perhaps because they aren't quite understanding the meaning.

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Scotland the Brave. Just so we can hear 50,000 folk belt out the Heilan' Granny version every time. Nobody knows the real words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and lyrics have been and could be adapted to the song. Caledonia's a great song but as a national anthem? That would be dreadfully depressing.

Savage Henry Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Highland Cathedral? Caledonia? I'd vote ten times for FoS if those were our only choices. I think all things considered I'd like an anthem with no words. Japan's is an absolute belter. Or we could steal the Soviet one although we'd all need to learn Russian.
