O Flower
of Scotland, When will we see

Your 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 past
they 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.
