Brilliant version. It's not just British Labour in Scotland who are the rogues, it is every member of every unionist party in Scotland. We'll soon be free to enjoy this song without pointing to folk.

Well said Joe. I get tired with people who debate economics. I would rather be a free man in a slum than a slave in a mansion.

As true in 2022 as in 1707. As true today as when the bard wrote it. Scotland,the homeland of my ancestors,will stand on it’s own someday.

So many comments have this song and its meaning wrong. Burns is referring to the 31 Members of the SCOTTISH Parliament who sold out to the English in 1707 with The Act Of Union. The " Rogues" received land, money, and other considerations" for their treachery. The Act Of Union ended Scotland's independence. Hence Burn's " a parcel of Rogues in the nation"

I've known this song for decades but have never heard it like this - sung without any instrumental accompaniment & this is brilliant. It's like hearing the song for the first time - marvellous

I hope your compulsory history lessons in Scottish schools will include 'the massacre of Glencoe' also by the Corries, the massacre of Scotts by Scotts, and under the most shameful of circumstances. This is the legacy of folk songs, they cant be stopped, and they remember things, lots of things, so you will have to be very selective in which songs you use to educate your kids, so nothing will have changed.

We still have them - they're called Scottish Labour collectively.

That's just ridiculous. I'm both patriotic, and nationalistic. My country has been denied "nationhood" for the past 300+ years, and it has been my goal to help regain our nation since as far back as I can remember. That doesn't make me racist. It just means I am proud of my Scottish heritage, and believe my country is entitled to be called a nation, like most other countries in the world. We were annexed at a time when ordinary people had no say. Now they do, and we will be a nation again.

@kos You stated in a previous post that many SNP supporters are wrapped up in pointless centuries old feuds and challenged me to make a case for independence without resorting to English bigotry, my point is that most SNP supporters want Scotland to be an independent nation again not based on centuries old feuds like culloden etc but in order that Scotland finally gets a government she votes for and can finally control all her own resources like any other country.

You are so right. That law was pushed through in an underhand way without any of us being considered or even being aware of it!

This is wonderful. I grew up in Glasgow and my parents took us to see The Corries many times. These days I sing shanties and also folk (mainly Scottish) songs. I need to sing this song. It gives me goosebumps. xxx
