Scotland the Brave (Bagpipes)
Scotland the Brave (Scottish Gaelic: Alba an Aigh) is a patriotic song and one of the main contenders to be considered as a national anthem of Scotland. In June 2006, the song came second to Flower of Scotland in an online poll with more than 10,000 votes to determine the nation's favourite unofficial anthem. The song is used to represent Scotland in the Commonwealth Games.
Scotland the Brave is also the authorised pipe band march of The British Columbia Dragoons of the Canadian Forces and is played during the Pass in Review at Friday parades at The Citadel. In 2006, it was adopted as the regimental quick march of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
Scotland the Brave (in schottischem Gälisch Alba an Aigh) ist neben Flower of Scotland und Scots Wha Hae eine der drei inoffiziellen Nationalhymnen Schottlands. Sie wird als schottische Nationalhymne bei den Commonwealth Games verwendet.
Des weiteren ist sie der autorisierte Pipe Band-Marsch der The British Columbia Dragoons der Kanadischen Streitkräfte und wird während der Pass in Review bei Freitagsparaden an der Militärschule The Citadel gespielt.
2006 wurde es als schneller Regimentsmarsch des Royal Regiment of Scotland eingeführt.
Scotland the Brave (Alba an Aigh en gaélique écossais) est, avec The Flower of Scotland, l'hymne national écossais.
Scotland the Brave (en gaélico escocés, Alba an Aigh) es una canción patriótica escocesa, y una de las candidatas para ser el himno nacional de Escocia. En junio de 2006, en una encuesta en internet organizada por la Royal Scottish National Orchestra, esta canción quedó segunda, sólo por detrás de Flower of Scotland, como favorita para convertirse en himno oficial. De hecho, Scotland the Brave ya se utiliza para representar a Escocia en los Juegos de la Commonwealth.
«Scotland the Brave» (шотл.(гэльс.): Alba an Aigh) патриотическая песня народа Шотландии; претендует на звание неофициального гимна Шотландии.
Scotland the Brave è considerato uno degli inni non ufficiali della Scozia.
Scotland The Brave is een van drie onofficiële volksliederen van Schotland. De andere zijn Flower of Scotland en Scots Wha Hae.
Scotland the Brave é um dos hinos não-oficiais da Escócia junto com Scots Wha Hae e Flower of Scotland. Geralmente é executada como uma marcha binária 4/4.
Scotland the Brave (Skotsk-gælisk: Alba an Aigh) regnes som en av skottenes nasjonalsanger, og blir blant annet benyttet som nasjonalhymne ved Samveldelekene. I likhet med England har heller ikke Skottland noen offisiell nasjonalsang, men Scotland the Brave benyttes tradisjonelt som nasjonens sang - ofte sammen med Flower of Scotland. Teksten er skrevet ca. 1950 av journalisten Clifford Leonard Clark Hanley (1922 - 1999).
Scotland the Brave, skotsk sång som brukar framföras på säckpipa.
Sången brukar anses som skottlands nationalsång.

The Tricorn Portsmouth: Supermarket Flythrough v1
The supermarket was one of the more successful parts of the Tricorn, being home to a popular branch of the chain of 'Fine Fare' grocery stores. It benefited from the Tricorn's modern integrated services and conveniences, featuring as it did a first floor delivery area and a mezzanine storage space, with inclined belt conveyors connecting these areas to the shop floor.
The Tricorn on Wikipedia:
For a complete history I would recommend the book 'The Tricorn: The Life and Death of a Sixties Icon' by Celia Clark and Robert Cook:
These flythroughs were created using the original architectural drawings by Owen Luder Architects, kindly provided by the History Centre at the Portsmouth Central Library and as featured in the exhibition 'Tricorn: Controversy in Concrete' at the Portsmouth City Museum (15th March - 29th June 2014).

100-strong guard of honour in the Maori Pioneer Battalion march
History came alive in Gisborne on Saturday when the 100-strong guard of honour in the Maori Pioneer Battalion commemoration marched through the city in a stirring and emotional tribute parade.
It commemorated 100 years to the day that 300 members of the battalion returned to Tairawhiti from World War One and were welcomed by “the Hui Aroha” at the racecourse.
A man standing on the parade route by the police station summed it up simply.
“What a spectacle. It’s just so moving,” he said with tears in his eyes.
Many hundreds of people lined the parade route from Te Poho-o-Rawiri Marae to Kelvin Park, where the crowd swelled to around 2000, including many families, on the lawn outside C Company House.
The event included the second launch of Doctor Monty Soutar’s book on the battalion (see story on page 3).
“This has been a fabulous occasion that gives mana to the book and the other way round,” said Walton Walker, the chairman of parade organisers Nga Tama Toa Trust.
“We are absolutely thrilled. It’s all been quite special. What a magnificent sight.”
The marchers, aged from 12 to 60, were immaculately kitted out in WW1 uniforms, with Lee Enfield rifles at the slope and battalion colours flying. They marched at the quick step to the beat of a single drum.
The crunch of their hobnailed boots echoed as they went by, singing It’s A Long Way to Tipperary in English and Maori.
Doctor Soutar was thrilled with the way the parade went.
“My satisfaction is seeing the pleasure and pride on the faces of these men.”
He paid tribute to the work of drill instructor Rayner Jahnke, who in turn said “the men did themselves and their whanau proud”.
“For men who have only had on average about eight hours practice, they did fantastically well,” Mr Jahnke said.
Gisborne police officer and former Poverty Bay rugby representative Jamie Hutana was a marker in the front rank of the 100.
“It was awesome to be part of it . . . it was special and emotional, knowing the battalion did it 100 years ago.”
Seventeen-year-old Costa Blackman, from Tolaga Bay said it was “an honour and a privilege . . . a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent my tipuna”.
The youngster in the parade, 12-year-old Tumanako McGhie from Gisborne, was beaming when he said: “We were all so keen. It felt really good to be part of it.”
The battalion included Maori, Pakeha and Pacific Islanders, and that was represented in the parade.
Willie Apiata VC followed the marchers in a vintage car, accompanied by the nieces of Moana Ngarimu VC, who carried with them his gallantry medal. It was the first time both awards had been in the same place together.
Defence Minister Ron Mark and Sir Peter Jackson also attended.
Dr Soutar thanked Sir Peter, whose WingNut Films team provided the uniforms at a cost of $250,000.
“Much of that cost came out of Sir Peter’s own pocket,” said Dr Soutar. “Without him and his staff this could not have happened.”
Sir Peter said he was deeply moved by the entire process . . . “the training of these young guys, their marching and the people carrying photographs of their ancestors”.
“Gisborne is probably the only place in the world that could pull this off. It was an incredibly emotional sight.”
Doctor Soutar said the plan for the parade had always been “audacious . . . but we had God on our side with the weather”.
Following the ceremonies, the parade moved back to the marae via the Wi Pere Monument and Heipipi Park, including further haka and waiata.
A wreath was laid at the monument in honour of Wi Pere who was instrumental in the formation of the battalion.

Number in Book: 17
Tune Type: Quick March
Time Signature: 6/8
Made some adjustments to my equipment before shooting. Lighting is better, but the top of my head has been cut off and I'm off centre. I might just about have it all sorted by the time I get to the end of the book!
The connection to Orange and Blue I just read somewhere. I can certainly hear some similarities in the tunes, but I wouldn't say it's immediately obvious that one is just a version of the other.
