No offense intended, I'm just hornswaggled that anybody in the world
hasn't heard _Scotland the Brave_ 50 gazillion times over. And just be
aware that the members of the Scottish Highland Society probably *have*
heard it *at least* 50 gazillion times! At least. Really. 8-) I know
that I probably hear the song/tune at least 4 or 5 times a day at every
Scottish games that I've ever attended.

And I definately agree with a previous poster who said that the current
contender for a new Scottish Anthem is _Flower of Scotland_. In my
opinion, a much more beautiful and moving song, both musically and
lyrically, than _Scotland the Brave_.

Cheers,
