The Blood Upon the Heather

V6

[Verse 1] The heather is red in the morning sun, The eagle flies high and free, The brave who had fallen are not forgotten, They live on in you and me. [Chorus] Sing high! Sing loud! Let the whole world hear, The voice of the Highlands roar, The brave may fall but their dream lives on, As they open Freedom's door. Raise high the Saltire into the sky, Let it fly from shore to shore, For the blood upon the heather cries, "Scotland forevermore!" [Verse 2] The wind still blows through the Highland hills, The rivers run to the sea, And the voices of those who would not bow Still call for liberty. [Chorus] Sing high! Sing loud! Let the whole world hear, The voice of the Highlands roar, The brave may fall but their dream lives on, As they open Freedom's door. Raise high the Saltire into the sky, Let it fly from shore to shore, For the blood upon the heather cries, "Scotland forevermore!" [Outro] Sing high! Sing loud! Let the whole world hear, The voice of the Highlands roar, The brave may fall but their dream lives on, As they open Freedom's door. Scotland forevermore! ©2026 Trevor Swistchew. All rights reserved.
