Talk:Scotland the Brave

message: Authorship
I think at a minimum the article should also mention whomever wrote the lyrics, if known, and the approximate date the lyrics were written.  I also feel one could easily start a list of movies in which the song has a prominent appearance, such as "The Devil's Brigade".  I suppose "Braveheart" will be on the list but I haven't seen it, so I can't say.

can't possibly be sung to the same tune.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.41.203 (talk) 19:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've tried to make it fit in my head and it simply doesn't, as you point out.  In which case, it bears no relavance to Scotland the Brave and shouldn't be on the article page.  I will remove it. Tpacw (talk) 18:45, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

text: It's execrable, but the words can be made to fit the tune.  Why you'd want to, though, is another question. Calum (talk) 09:45, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Impossible song 

message: I've read lyrics that have a fourth verse that goes like this:
Hot as a burning ember,
Flaming in bleak December
Burning within the hearts
Of clansmen afar!
Calling to home and fire,
Calling the sweet desire,
Shining a light that beckons from every star!
They can be found here and here. I don't know how often this verse is heard or used, or if it's part of the original song or anything, but it may be worth noting that it does exist. --Hazey Jane 07:34, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fourth Verse? 

message: I've taken out the "Probably the best known" clause. It's not cited, and seems to me totally untrue. "The Flower of Scotland" is almost undoubtedly the best known candidate for a scottish national anthem, due to it being used universally at football and rugby matches participated in by the scottish national teams. 87.127.77.20 18:01, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, but I bet it is the best known "Bagpipes song" in the world other than Amazing Grace. At least in the US if you said, "That song they always play on the Bagpipes", it's understood that you mean "Scotland the Brave". BillyTFried (talk) 20:04, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm going to try to assimilate the trivia section into the main body as trivia sections are genereally not particularyl good form in an article.  I've removed the following claim as it is useless without more detail ot a link to the film, it nmakes no sense, why was it anachronistic? --Brideshead 19:01, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Because Shackleton was wandering around the Antarctic round about 1912-14, some forty years before the song was written.  Calum (talk) 09:47, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I've taken out the concert information as that's not directly related to the song, but I'm not sure how I go about adding a disambig for the new article I created at Scotland the Brave (concert).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prof Wrong (talk • contribs) 13:01, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Am I the only one who thinks the collapsible lyrics boxes are awkward and aesthetically displeasing?  Why are the lyrics presented this way anyway?  Is there anything wrong with just presenting the lyrics in some consistent form, each set in their own section?  I hate these boxes!  Who's with me?

message: Shouldn't information about the tune and variants be in a side note than in the main article? It says who originally wrote the lyrics to Scotland the Brave, so that's what should be the main focus.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.145.251.34 (talk) 13:23, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

The lyrics appear to be a copyright violation, given that Cliff Hanley only died 12 years ago and the other author may be still alive.  However we still have an encylopedic article without the lyrics. PatGallacher (talk) 09:42, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Possible copyright violation 

message: During the middle 1960s, a disc jockey in my hometown played a song which combined the tune of "Scotland the Brave" with a lyric that contained the phrases, "I want a woman, any kind of a woman" and "a woman with a rose in her hair."  The recording was performed by a large male vocal group (a chorus, as opposed to the quartet that was the Ames Brothers).  Does anyone have any idea of what the title of this lyric, or the performer, might be? StavinChain (talk) 00:27, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Why does the "Scotland The Brave/ Alba an Àigh" thing make itself (and the article itself) get longer? Is this a bug? Please help.
