Highland Cathedral

Highland Cathedral
The melody for Highland Cathedral was originally written as a pipe-tune by two Germans, Michael Korb and Ulrich Roever. Moira Kerr has added her own words to this well-known tune. She has recorded it in her CD album Loch Lomond Hills.

               Highland Cathedral

Land of the thistle and the rowan tree,
Scotland a nation, proud and free.
Under the Saltire, flying high for me,
Leading us onward to victory.

Aiming high for all to see,
Together we stand, with faith in our land.
In times of trial and in victory,
Scotland we will be there.

High in the mountains the die was cast,
By our forefathers in the past.
Vows of unity and peace were made,
In a Highland cathedral, where the pipers played.

Aiming high for all to see,
Together we stand, with faith in our land.
In times of trial and in victory,
Scotland we will be there.

Land of the thistle and the rowan tree,
Scotland a nation, proud and free.
Under the Saltire, flying high for me,
Leading us onward to victory.
