FOS is the co dependents national anthem - having to define yourself as a nation by a battle fought 700 years ago against your neighbours who you subsequently linked up with to create an empire covering a quarter of the globe seems a little unfortunate. Its such a dirge too
Why does England have an anthem named after the capital of Israel and Palestine?
What was wrong with Scotland the brave and Land of hope and glory - they were at least catchy and triumphal!:D

No Land of our fathers wins out big time!
I think Flower of Scotland could be improved with a couple of changes in the harmonics, in the way the Welsh anthem has been brilliantly arranged.
Jerusalem is of course the New Jerusalem of the second coming not the big City in Israel/Palestine. And it is a great tune as well.
Just waiting to hear 'Danny Boy' and what sort of arrangement they have come up with!
Flower of Scotland is a fantastic anthem. It always puts a tear in my eye when it's played and i'm not even Scottish, I'm Welsh!...and of course the Welsh anthem is best, but FOS is not far behind....it's full of hwyl
