Historians believe that this melody has its roots in Scotland at the time when France and Scotland were fighting against the King of England. It was brought by the Scottish soldiers but was probably transformed a little over time by the French. Today, it is part of the common heritage of Scotland and France.
Possibly. Robert Bruce was Scottish, not English. The legend say this song was palyed at Orleans, by the French and the Scottich troops at Orleans, after the victory against the English.
There again things happen that we are not told about, and yes i have never heard that song played by the British or a Scottish Regiment, you could be right Raymond.
Vive l'écosse et la France, liées par les liens du sang à jamais. Que Dieu garde toutes les âmes de ces 2 grandes nations et paix aux âmes de nos ancêtres communs
