Scottish heroes, and may their fame live for ever.
Scotland, the birthplace of valor, the country of worth.
The Queen and the Scottish Union.
The nobles of Caledonia and their ladies.
To the memory of Scottish heroines.
The Rose, Thistle, and Shamrock: may they flourish by the common graft of union.
To the memory of Scotland’s heroes.
To the memory of those who have gloriously fallen in the noble struggle for independence.
To the Scots - without them, we'd never have had Scotch whisky!
