| | Robert Burns: SCOTS WHA HAE |
 | | In August 1787, Burns visited Bannockburn field near Stirling, the historic spot where in 1314 Robert the Bruce's tiny forces routed the vast army of the invading English king, Edward II. |
 | | Scots, wha hae wi Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led, Welcome to your gory bed Or to victorie! |
 | | Wha for Scotland's King and Law Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Freeman stand, or Freeman fa', Let him follow me! By Oppression's woes and pains, By your sons in servile chains, We will drain your dearest veins, But they shall be free! |
