There is a land far from this distant shore
Where heather grows and Highland eagles soar
There is a land that will live ever more
Deep in my heart, my Bonnie Scotland

Though I serve so far away
I still see your streams, cities and dreams
I can't wait until the day
When I'll come home once more

And so Lord keep me from the harm of war
Through all its dangers and the battle's roar
Keep me safe until I'm home once more
Home to my own in Bonnie Scotland

Highland Cathedral is a popular bagpipe tune written by German musicians Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb in a Scottish style. It has been proposed as the Scottish national anthem to replace unofficial anthems Scotland the Brave and/or Flower of Scotland.The first lyrics below were written by Terry Mechan as a tribute to Scots fighting and serving overseas in Scottish regiments. It is considered a Scottish equivalent of the English hymn, "Abide with Me", for national sporting events and as a hymn on the eve of battle. St Columba Church of Scotland, Glasgow, is known as the Highland Cathedral. In addition to an impressive display of Scottish Clan Crests, it also displays the military insignia of several Highland regiments.
