have you heard some of the verses which they dont sing? Verses added to the British National Anthem in 1745 during the rise of the Jacobites in Scotland: "O' date=' Lord our God Arise, Scatter our enemies, And make them fail. Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks, On him our hopes are fixed, God Save us all" Lord grant that Marshal Wade May by thy mighty aid Victory bring. May he sedition hush, And like a torrent rush, Rebellious Scots to crush. God save the Queen! "Many people view it as an English anthem and point to anti-Scottish verses " [url']http://website.lineone.net/~scottishfreedom/cultsongs.html that is why some people aint happy with it. my fav runrig song is hearts of olden glory. the live version from stirling makes me get goosebumps. Deacon Blue Dignity. another classic. none of these would be fun for an anthem though. 500 miles would be kinda funny. but things arent as easy to sing as flower of scotland. i dont like how the english use the british one though. they should sing land of hope and glory.
