alternative Scottish anthem, this song took ages to get together, the biggest reward for me is that the song was performed live in a stage show by a group of people with learning difficulties from The Robert Gough centre in Leven Fife,
I bow humble.
Lyrics
Scotland I Love You.
I come from a land where men wear skirts
With nothing underneath
Through hail and snow
Where fierce winds blow
We stand proud and clench our teeth,
From castles in highland glens
To ramshackle wee but n bens
We girn and complain
Because from Aberdeen to Gretna Green
We're never far fi rain.
.
chorus
Scotland I love you
Your haggis and Irn bru
Braveheart be thy motto,
Here I will stay
To my dying day
Unless I win the lotto.
.
Purple heather deck the hills and glens
Rivers run crystal clear
My place of birth
Paradise on earth
Till the blood sucking midges appear,
From handsome parading pipers
To strapping dry stone dykers
There's no disputers
From windy Saltcoats to John o Groats
The women wear the trousers.
chorus

bridge
With this wee dram, I raise a hand
Here's to you, my bonnie Scotland
