Scotland will flourish by the sweat of labour
The strength of our will and the force of our mind
Forget the old battles, those days are over
Hatred corrupts and friendship refines

Let the Scots be a nation proud of their heritage
With an eye to the future and a heart to forgive
And let us be rid of those bigots and fools
Who will not let Scotland live and let live

Let us govern over country wisely and fairly
Let each man and woman work with a will
And Scotland will flourish secure in the knowledge
That we reap our own harvest and ring our own till

And let us be known for our kind hospitality
A hand that is open proper to friends
A hard working people, proud and unbending
Scotland will thrive and win out in the end

Scotland will flourish by the sweat of labour
The strength of our will and the force of our mind
Forget the old battles, those days are over
Hatred corrupts and friendship refines

So let us be known for our kind hospitality
A hand that is open proper to friends
A hard working people, proud and unbending
Scotland will thrive and win out in the end


I believe every word of that other than I believe we can, and should do it within the UK.

PS Whilst I believe the term "Geordie" or "Cockney" to be a term of "endearment" I hate being called a "JocK" with a passion   :)

Signed: A member of the most patriotic nation on the planet I know and damned proud of it

Scottish People are Called Jock, since it is a nickname for John and is used to represent everyman. This word was first used in the 18th and 19th century. Scottish people tend to think that this name implies 'God's children'

You don't say - I am indebted to you. I never knew that  :)
