"I knows the King, I knows the Queen
I knows the bleedin' Prince of Wales
Buuuuuut... I don't know no-one who ain't got no Nine Inch Nails."

Pete Stitt's time traveling hit, from Ronnie Browne's autobiography.

Huge thanks to my partner and metamour who annually put up with me trying to sing along to my Corries albums while I wrestle with the chieftain of all puddings in the kitchen. 🖤

"Flower of Scotland" is Scotland's national anthem.

The song was written by Roy Williamson of The Corries, sometime in the mid-1960s. This version of the song is quite different from the more rousing versions performed by the group in later years. Video quality is poor, and there is an abrupt ending, but the different style is fascinating:
