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, countering the suggestion that it would be a matter reserved to the Parliament of the United Kingdom.[1] This ruling prompted some interest in the idea, and a petition to the Scottish Parliament's petitions committee supported by the Scottish Green Party was referred without recommendation to the Scottish Executive, but they decided to take no action, considering the issue not to be a political priority.[2][3] There have been subsequent attempts to re-open the debate on a national anthem for Scotland.[4] Current useAt most international sporting events Scotland uses "Flower of Scotland" as its national anthem. These events include matches of the Scottish national football team and the Scottish rugby union team.[5] The song has also been used as the victory anthem of Scotland at the Commonwealth Games since 2010, replacing "Scotland the Brave".[6] Possible candidatesIn 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. With over 10,000 votes cast, Flower of Scotland came first with 41% of the votes, followed by Scotland the Brave with 29%.[7]
Other songs which have been suggested include Robert Burns' Auld Lang Syne,[8] and Hamish Henderson's Freedom Come-All-Ye.[9] Both of these songs, from the 18th and 20th centuries respectively, are written in Lowland Scots. Another suggestion is The Thistle o' Scotland published in 1902. It was originally written in Scottish Gaelic but translated into Lowland Scots.[10] Future discussionDespite coverage by The Scotsman newspaper, the Scottish Parliament has yet to convene any parliamentary debate on the issue, with Holyrood's Enterprise Committee denying a motion from Scottish National Party MSP Michael Matheson on the subject.[11] In an attempt to add breadth to the discussion, Edinburgh musician Bob Murray first presented a one-man show on the subject at The Scottish Storytelling Centre in May 2015, and now performs it from time to time at various venues.[12] References1. ^{{cite news| url=http://news.scotsman.com/scotlandsnationalanthem/Scots-win-right-to-choose.2578828.jp | location=Edinburgh | work=The Scotsman | first=Hamish | last=Macdonell | title=Scots win right to choose own national anthem | date=10 November 2004}} 2. ^{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4036123.stm | work=BBC News | title=Anthem demand falls on deaf ears | date=24 November 2004 | accessdate=19 May 2010}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/business/committees/petitions/or-04/pu04-1802.htm |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-05-09 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605222343/http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/business/committees/petitions/or-04/pu04-1802.htm |archivedate=2011-06-05 |df= }} 4. ^{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4755295.stm | work=BBC News | title=Anthem debate call hits flat note | date=9 May 2006 | accessdate=19 May 2010}} 5. ^BBC News - McConnell calls for anthem debate 6. ^{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/8449939.stm | work=BBC News | title=Games team picks new Scots anthem | date=9 January 2010 | accessdate=19 May 2010}} 7. ^RSNO poll reveals Flower of Scotland as nation’s favourite ‘anthem’ {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090215011908/http://rsno.org.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=119&Itemid=1 |date=2009-02-15 }}, 8. ^{{cite news| url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4156/is_20060702/ai_n16513028/ | work=The Sunday Herald | title=Nation picks Flower Of Scotland as top anthem SONG CONTEST: OLD | first=Paul | last=Dalgarno | date=2 July 2006}} 9. ^{{cite news| url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article1004359.ece | work=The Times | location=London | title=It may be a dirge but its still our anthem say Scottish MPs | first=Shirley | last=English | date=30 October 2003 | accessdate=19 May 2010}} 10. ^A rendition of this song can be heard here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NJ7DRVwoQo. 11. ^"RSNO sounds out a song for Scotland", The Scotsman, 24 May 2006 12. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.bobmurray.scot|title=Bob Murray, Edinburgh|last=Shop|first=Robert Murray Stamp|website=www.bobmurray.scot|access-date=2018-03-11}} External links
