Make "Flower of Scotland" the Official Anthem of Scotland


Make "Flower of Scotland" the Official Anthem of Scotland
The Issue
I am deeply concerned about recent developments that suggest the UK Government may be considering banning "Flower of Scotland" under new anti-terrorism legislation. This song is not just a melody to us, it's a symbol of our national identity and pride. It has been played at sporting events and public gatherings for years, uniting us in spirit and sentiment.
The "Flower of Scotland" resonates with our history, reminding us of our ancestors' bravery against Edward II's forces at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. It is more than just a song; it is an embodiment of Scottish resilience and determination.
Scotland is one among few countries without an official national anthem recognized by its government. According to a survey conducted by The Times in 2006, 41% Scots favoured "Flower Of Scotland" as their anthem (source: The Times). This clearly shows that this song holds a special place in the hearts of many Scots.
It's time we officially recognize this emblematic tune as our national anthem to preserve our cultural heritage and strengthen our national identity amidst these challenging times. Let’s stand together against any attempt to undermine what unites us as Scots! Please sign this petition urging the Scottish Parliament to make "Flower Of Scotland" the official anthem for Scotland.
