Verse 2 Enthroned on the peak of her own highland mountains, The spirit of Scotia reigns fearless and free. Her green tartan waving o'er blue rock and fountain, And proudly she sings, looking over the sea.

Firm as my native rock I have withstood the shock, Of England, of Denmark, of Rome and the world. C Verse 3

Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombs, Deepeyed in gore is the green tartan's wave.
