    National anthems in general are cringey. If your going to do one at least be over the top about it. It should be able to accompany a menacing military parade with ease :56:

    They kinda did, even if Scotland was still independent...

    Absolutely love it.

    Always makes me feel so proud to be Scottish.

    The only down side is most of the time everyone ends up singing out of time haha

    I used to like it when it came out, and first became well known.....but i have grown to hate it.
    I love some anthems, like some of those mentioned, but i dont see FOS an an anthem type song.Its like a hymn of sorts.

    I used to prefer Scotland the Brave, but few people could reach the high notes!

    I like Rowan Tree myself.
