Scots Wha Hae

Scots Wha Hae (гэльск. Brosnachadh Bhruis) — патриотическая шотландская песня.

Была написана в 1793 г. Робертом Бёрнсом на мотив народной песни Hey Tuttie Tatie. Хотя в основу текста положены события средневековой битвы при Бэннокберне, она, как полагают, была написана под воздействием радикальных идей, распространённых в Шотландии после Французской революции^[1].

До 2006 года использовалась как неофициальный гимн Шотландии. Затем была вытеснена композициями «Scotland the Brave» и «Flower of Scotland». Является гимном Шотландской национальной партии^{[источник не указан 602 дня]}.
