Flower of Scotland.wmv [03:35]
Flower of Scotland (Flùir na h-Alba en gaélique) est l'hymne national officieux de l'Écosse, au même titre que le plus ancien Scotland the Brave. Cette chanson a été composée par Roy Williamson du groupe folklorique "The Corries" en 1974 Ce chant patriotique célèbre à la fois la beauté des paysages de l'Écosse et la victoire des patriotes écossais contre l'invasion anglaise à la fin du xiie siècle et au début du xiiie siècle, au cours de la première guerre d'indépendance de l'Écosse. Menés par Robert the Bruce, les Écossais renvoyèrent chez elle « l'armée du fier Édouard » (proud Edward's army), Édouard II d'Angleterre lors de la bataille de Bannockburn qu'ils remportèrent en 1314, et qui déboucha sur près de quatre siècles d'indépendance. L'expression « Fleur d'Écosse » fait, d'après certains, référence au chardon, l'un des symboles nationaux de l'Écosse, qui orne par exemple les maillots des joueurs de rugby écossais. D'autres estiment que cette expression fait référence à la fine fleur de l'Écosse, c'est-à-dire les meilleurs, les plus braves parmi les Écossais ; ceux qui ont combattu et sont morts, et ont résisté contre le roi Édouard, étant alors désignés par cette expression. Le chardon aux ânes est l'un des symboles nationaux de l'Écosse depuis le règne d'Alexandre III (1249-1286) ; il fut utilisé dès 1470 sur des pièces d'argent frappées sous Jacques III57. La légende veut qu'une armée ennemie ait autrefois tenté d'attaquer les Écossais de nuit. L'un des soldats ...
