Scots Wha hae wi' Wallace Bled "Scots Wha Hae" (English: Scots Who Have) is a patriotic song of Scotland written using both words of the Scots language and English, which served for centuries as an unofficial national anthem of the country, but has lately been largely supplanted by "Scotland the Brave" and "Flower of Scotland".
The tune to "Hey Tuttie Tatie" has been used as the basis for several other songs, with new lyrics being added. These include "Scots Wha Hae" (1793), "Fill Up Your Bumpers High" (1718) and "Bridekirk's Hunting". The tune was also used in the concert overture Rob Roy by Hector Berlioz, and the Scottish Fantasy by Max Bruch.
The song, first performed in 1967 on BBC television, was deliberately presented in a quasi-archaic style. The lyrics and nature of "Flower of Scotland" split opinion amongst the Scottish public, given its reference to Scottish victory over the English at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 under the direction of Robert the Bruce .
The song "Auld Lang Syne" comes from a Robert Burns poem. Burns was the national poet of Scotland and wrote the poem in 1788, but it wasn't published until 1799—three years after his death.
