Why is it that my heart stirs
When I hear the bagpipes play?
Why do I feel Scotland is my home when I live so faraway?
Why do I feel a sense of pride when I see theSaltire fly?
Although it may seem strange to you
Perhaps I can tell you why
When you are born of Scottish Blood
Something strange seems to take place
As if a seed is planted within you
Which makes you fiercely proud of your race
This Scottish patriotism never dies .
And in your soul it always remains
Because Scotland is as much a part of you
As the blood flowing through your veins.
