This is Phil Coulter\'s version of the beautiful Scottish tune \'Highland Cathedral.The picture at 2:27 is of pipers from the Pipes&Drums of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, SCOTS DG, (my uncle\'s Regiment, WO2 D. Bennett), taken at the Edinbrugh Tattoo.Highland Cathedral is a popular bagpipe tune written by German musicians Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb in a Scottish style. It has been proposed as the Scottish national anthem to replace unofficial anthems Scotland the Brave and/or Flower of Scotland.\n\nIt is considered a Scottish equivalent of the English hymn, \"Abide with Me\", for national sporting events and as a hymn on the eve of battle.\n\nLand of my fathers, we will always beFaithful and loyal to our own country.In times of danger we will set you free,Lead you to glory and to victory.Hail, Caledonia, to our ancient prayer,\nIn this Highland Cathedral let our standards bear,\nJoining together with one dream to share,\nGod bless the people of this land so fair.\n\n\nGone is the past, let us start anew,\nLet this hope of peace always remain.\nSpirit of Scotia be strong and true,\nThen our children will smile again, again, again, again.\n\n\nRise, Caledonia, let your voices ring\nIn this Highland Cathedral of our God and King.\nWhom joy and liberty to all will bring.\nCome let your heart with love and courage sing.\n\n\nThis version was sung at the memorial service for Scottish rally legendColin McRae and his son after their tragic helicopter accident in September 2007.
