SCOTLAND
[Auld Scotland's woods auld Scotland's braes]
1
Auld Scotland's woods auld Scotland's braesWhere dews the sweetest fa'
'Tis nature in her sunday claes
The dearest land o' a'
2
It bangs all lands beneath the sunAll lands ayont the sea
That land o' mists is freedoms ain
To every Scottish e'e

3
The biggen by the mountain sideAboon the rocks sae grand
The mountain fir that waves in pride
Oerleukin half the land
4
The burnie rimpling alangAnd laughing as it rins
Plays Scottish music a the day
Among the broom and w[h]ins
5
O bonny are the highland hillsThat overleuk the sea
The mountain and the siller rills
Nae sweeter land can be
