Not a national anthem (though it should be) but Finlandia-hymni is hard to beat.

The Scottish national anthem is God Save The Queen. She's our Queen, too - our tax contributions help fund Andrews trips to Pizza Express.
Flower Of Scotland is a folk song by The Corries.
French
Scottish - Flower of Scotland
Ireland - Ireland's call (it's the anthem the rugby team sing)
I am Welsh, and ours is my favourite, but these are my top 3 other nations.
Interesting to hear some of you are not keen on God Save the Queen. I personally find it very dull and uninspiring, both the lyircs but also the tune.

Been to a couple of funerals where Be Still My Soul was sung to the tune of Finlandia by around 400 people - it is quite something videos don't convey.

Don't even know the lyrics to ours beyond a few words...

Can we not come up with something that doesn't have god in it? I've nothing against the tune, I'd rather have secular lyrics though, its 2021 after all.
N Korea and China sound like rip offs of the Russian anthem.
Would you expect anything less both have modelled themselves after Russia after all.
I've gone to watch a Wales six nations matches several times at the millennium stadium. I start singing the anthem but I never make it through the chorus. That crescendo catches in my chest every time.
I do like the russian anthem, similar rousing feel to Wales.

I like the US anthem, The Star Spangled Banner, taken from a poem penned after we invaded Fort McHenry in 1814. Sung solo or en masse the Francis Scott Key anthem has charisma and presence.

Scottish national anthem is Scotland The Brave. At the football and rugby they sing Flower Of Scotland.
It's England that doesn't have a national anthem, GSTQ is meant to be a UK wide anthem although there is little use of it in Scotland other than the OO brigade.

Ok, Rule Britannia it is. Although that would get the anti-empire brigade seriously frothing

England's should be Jerusalem or I Vow to Thee My Country.
