  Oh Flower of Scotland
  When will we see
  Your like again,
  That fought and died for
  Your wee bit Hill and Glen
  And stood against him
  Proud Edward's Army,
  And sent him homeward
  Tae think again.
  The Hills are bare now
  And Autumn leaves lie thick and still
  O'er land that is lost now
  Which those so dearly held
  That stood against him
  Proud Edward's Army
  And sent him homeward
  Tae think again.
  Those days are past now
  And in the past they must remain
  But we can still rise now
  And be the nation again
  That stood against him
  Proud Edward's Army
  And sent him homeward,
  Tae think again.

  The fauna of Scotland is generally typical of the north-west European part of the Palearctic ecozone, although several of the country's larger mammals were hunted to extinction in historic times. Scotland's diverse temperate environments support 62 species of wild mammals, including a population of Wild Cats and important numbers of Grey and Harbour Seals.
  Many populations of moorland birds, including Blackcock and the famous Re Grouse, live here, and the country has internationally significant nesting grounds for seabirds such as the Northern Gannet. The Golden Eagle has become a national icon, and White-tailed Eagles and Ospreys have recently re-colonised the land. The Scottish Crossbill is the only endemic vertebrate species in the British Isles.
