Scottish Heritage: The Thistle O'Scotland
Suaicheantas Na H-Alba (As sung by
Willie Main)
O, the Thistle o' scotland was famous of auld, Wi' its toorie sae snod
and its
bristles sae bauld; Tis the Badge o' my Country, it's aye dear tae me,
and
thocht o' them baith brings the licht tae ma e'e. It's strength and its
beauty
the storm never harms; It stan's on its guard like a warrior in arms;
Yet its
down is as saft as the gull's on the sea, And its tassle as bricht as
my
Jeanie's blue e'e............
