<br>
For all intents and purposes, Scotland the Brave is the Scottish anthem, its
air being shared by the Irish tune O'Donnell Ab¨²<br>
<br>
It is also my favourite...<br>
<br>
Englands
anthem is the UK,
reflecting that all other parts are joined to and equal with England,
their parliments joined Englands...<br>
<br>
Personally Id never worry about being in the face of england, as you can see in
the full version of God Save the Queen there are antiScots verses...<br>

used. I even had to complain to our Dept of Ethnic Affairs when it used the term
