In June 2006 the Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted an online opinion poll on their website, asking visitors to choose a favourite to be Scotland's national anthem. To date (2020) no official action has been taken, as the issue of a national anthem is not considered to be a political priority. There is no 'official' Scottish national anthem, however in 2004, lawyers for the devolved Scottish Parliament advised that it was within the legal competence of the Scottish Parliament to choose a national anthem for Scotland. Flower of Scotland was subsequently adopted by Scotland for use at FIFA-sponsored events, after its usage by the Scottish rugby union team. Scotland the Brave was played before matches involving the Scotland national football team at the 1982, 1986, and 1990 FIFA World Cups. In 2006, it was adopted as the regimental quick march of the Royal Regiment of Scotland. Scotland the Brave is also the authorised pipe band march of the British Columbia Dragoons of the Canadian Armed Forces, and also is played during the Pass in Review at Friday parades at The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, and the Virginia Military Institute. The lyrics commonly used now were written about 1950 by Scottish journalist Clifford Leonard Clark "Cliff" Hanley for singer Robert Wilson as part of an arrangement by Marion McClurg.Īnother set of lyrics also often heard were sung by Canadian singer John Charles McDermott they are closely based on the poem "Let Italy Boast" by James Hyslop, which was first published in 1821 in "The Edinburgh Magazine".
