Scotland The Brave

Scotland The Brave is a favorite tune with the general public and pipers around the world. I am sure that there are no accomplished pipers who do not know how to play this tune.

Cliff Hanley (1923—1999), a Scottish journalist wrote the lyrics for the tune in 1951. The song was written by Cliff Hanley for Robert Wilson who needed a song to close the act of his performance at a Christmas Scottish review musical show at the Glasgow Empire Theatre. The song soon became popular with Scots people and was quickly adopted as an unofficial national anthem.
