Hi, i´m from Mexico and i´m a history student; because of my studies, i came to get involved and enchanted with scottish culture. Around the world we all people do and think in many diferent ways, but i think love is one of the languages we all could understand. So, i´m curious about love, and music i´ts the best way to express it. so, which song could i heard in scottland to melt my heart?

Officially, Scotland doesn't have it's own National Anthem, but my experience is that if you ask any Scot, you'd almost certainly get "Flower of Scotland" as the answer. It's a relatively new song (written in 1967 by Roy Williamson of the folk group the Corries), so can't really be regarded as traditional, but it certainly seems to get the Scot's going.
