Anyone with an interest in my review of Scotland: The Story of a Nation might also find their interest piqued by the Corries' collection of Scottish ballads Scots Wha Hae, which takes its title from the rather sanguine Robert Burns' poem celebrating the exploits of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. The Corries were noteworthy as one of Scotland's leading folk groups in recent decades, and are known particularly for such songs as Flower of Scotland, which in some quarters has superseded Scots Wha Hae as a de facto national anthem. This album runs the gamut of Scottish history from Wallace's victory at Stirling Bridge to the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie at Culloden, and the hokey nature of the commentary should not obscure the beauty and poignancy of the ballads.
