National Anthem

• O Flower of Scotland, When will we seeYour like
  again, That fought and died for, Your wee bit
  Hill and Glen,And stood against him, Proud
  Edward's Army, And sent him homeward,Tae think
  again.The Hills are bare now, And Autumn
  leaves lie thick and still, O'er land that is
  lost now,Which those so dearly held, That stood
  against him,Proud Edward's Army, And sent him
  homeward,Tae think again.Those days are past
  now, And in the pastthey must remain, But we can
  still rise now,And be the nation again, That
  stood against him,Proud Edward's Army, And sent
  him homeward,Tae think again.

Short History of Scotland

• On Thursday, December 18, 1997, Scottish
  Secretary Donald Dewar launched one of the most
  far-reaching changes to the British constitution
  by presenting a Bill to implement Scotland's
  first parliament in 300 years. The exuberant
  Secretary stated that the Bill was a more radical
  piece of legislation than dreamed of only one
  year before. The Scottish Parliament is expected
  to be fully operational by the year 2000, and the
  Bill itself should receive the Royal Assent
  during the second half of 1998 in time for
  elections to be held in the first half of the
  following year. Sovereignty would continue to
  rest ultimately with Westminster the Queen would
  remain head of state for the whole United KIngdom
  and the Government in London would remain
  responsible for key "reserved" matters, including
  foreign policy, defense and national security.
  Thus, a powerful body of Scottish representatives
  would get together in a Parliament of their own
  for the first time since the Union with England
  and the abolition of the Scottish Parliament in
  1707.
