Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
In Scottish Gaelic: Alba an Ŕigh, “Scotland the Brave” is a<br> Scottish patriotic song. It was one of several songs<br> considered an unofficial national anthem of Scotland.<br> The tune is used for a polka step in the North-West England morris<br> dance tradition and a march in Scotland and Shetland.<br> The oldest appearance of the melody was in a Boys’ Brigade<br> pipe tune book from about 1911 where the title appeared as<br> “Scotland, the Brave!!!”. The tune appears to date from about 1891-5<br> when it was published in Keith Norman Macdonald’s Gesto Collection<br> of Highland Music under the title "Brave Scotland" and/or "Scotland<br> for Ever".<br> There are many recordings including one by Fennig's All-Stars on The Hammered Dulcimer.<br> I play this tune in a medley with:<br> The Boys of Wexford<br> The Flowers of Edinburgh<br> Gary Owen<br> Irish Washerwoman, The<br> All of which are in this section.<br>
