The Hampden Roar Takes the High Road as Scotland prepare for battle
The Tartan Army (the fans who follow the Scotland national football team throughout the world) provided the backing vocals for the new single by renowned Scottish rock band Runrig to raise money for the BBC’s annual Children In Need appeal.
The voices of 50,000 fans rang out across Hampden Park at half time during the Scotland v Ukraine European Soccer Championship qualifier to the emotive and internationally famous sound of “The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond”. There are several videos on youtube.
You can hear a more traditional version of the song here (click on the audio links).
