I came across this online:
In 2007 in the run up to the Scottish General Elections, an alternative verstion "Scotland the brave 2007" became popular on YouTube

Scotland the Brave 2007
by Alan Smart
Land of the purple heather
Land of some shocking weather
Land of Elvis Presley's mother
Scotland the brave
Land of some high endeavours
Harry Potter, Ewan McGregor
Land of Sir Sean forever
Scotland the brave
Land o' tech computer dolls
Royal bank and Shopping Malls
Burger Kings but nae Polaris
Moscow, Houston, Texas, Paris
Hip hop, bhangla, Gaelic classes
River city, free bus passes
Rabbie Burns and bonnie lassies
Scotland the brave
Land of Mary and Prince Charlie
Adam Smith and Mick McGahey
Referendums, oor ain Parly
Scotland the brave
Land where the Poll Tax ended
Land where Dennis wis suspended
Land where Bairns they were offended
Scotland the brave
Land where the fox runs safe
Folk look forward tae old age
Our students get cash tae get clever
Warrant sales are gone forever
Liz McColgan, Henrik Larsson,
Andy Murray, Highland Dancin'
Murrayfield, the roar of Hampden
Scotland the brave
Land of all creeds and colours
Polish, English, Moslem brothers
Land where we live together
Scotland the brave
Where gay folks are defended
noo that the Clause has ended
John Knox was fair offended
Scotland the brave
James Connolly and John McLean
Still standing up for hungry weans
Annie Lennox, William Wallace
Joining in the freedom chorus
Land of the purple heather
Land of the shining rivers
Land of my heart forever
Scotland the brave
land of the purple heather
land of the shining rivers
land of my heart forever
Scotland - the brave
