Flag of Scotland
Alba gu bráth - Scotland Until Judgment

Ae Fond Kiss, And Then We Sever

"But to see her was to love her,
Love but her, and love forever.
Had we never lou'd sae kindly,
Had we never lou'd sae blindly,
Never met - or never parted -
We had ne'er been broken hearted"

Robert Burns - 1791
