FANFARE
'Flower 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, to 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, to think again.
Roy Williamson
 
THE CROWNING GLORY
'Scots Wha Hae'
Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has often led,
Welcome to your gory bed -
Or to victorie!
Robert Burns
