Scotland my home



Scotland, My Home

Scotland, my home, where I was born and bred
Where the saltire flies high above my head
Where the bagpipes sound and the kilts are worn
Where the haggis tastes and the whisky warms

Scotland, my home, where the history runs deep
Where the brave and the bold their freedom did keep
Where the clans and the kings their stories did weave
Where the legends and the lore their magic did leave

Scotland, my home, where the culture thrives
Where the poetry and the music their spirit revives
Where the humour and the wit their charm displays
Where the friendship and the kindness their heart conveys

Scotland, my home, where the beauty shines
Where the mountains and the valleys their splendour define
Where the lakes and the islands their serenity show
Where the flowers and the wildlife their colours glow

Scotland, my home, where I belong and love
Ye are the treasure of my life, and the gift from above
I cherish thee more than words can say, and I'll always be loyal to thee
Scotland, my home, ye are the best of me
