O Flower of Scotland, When will we see Your like again, That fought and died for, Your wee bit Hill and Glen, And stood against him, Proud Edward's Army, And sent him homeward, Tae think again. The Hills are bare now, And Autumn leaves lie thick and still, O'er land that is lost now, Which those so dearly held, That stood against him, Proud Edward's Army, And sent him homeward, Tae think again.

Saint Andrew was born in Bethsaida of Galilee. He was one of the twelve Christian Apostles of Jesus Christ. He was a fisherman, like his father and his brother, Saint Simon Peter, who was also a Disciple of Jesus. Much of the information about St Andrew is recorded from legends and stories.

Scotland and Scottish people around the world celebrate Saint Andrew on November 30. Saint Andrew is the Patron Saint of Scotland, and even its flag is Saint Andrew’s cross. The most suprising thing is that it is thought that in life Saint Andrew had never been to Scotland or any country within the UK.
