Today's Scotsman reports that Highland Cathedral is being pushed by a poet as the new Scottish Anthem. Flower Of Scotland is a great anthem, but I agree, that it is somewhat backward looking (sorry, Corries). Highland Cathedral is an absolutely incredible tune, which really makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time I hear it, especially when it is played by a full pipe band. If the proposed words are good, it definitely gets my vote.
If you'd like to hear it, you can try this link to my home server, but a) it is not the nicest rip; b) it may not stream so well from my house. I'm trying to buy a better quality version right now. As I was searching I did find this link to a folk version of Highland Cathedral with lyrics which is nice to listen to.
