In my opinion, this is the most memorable rendition of this song ever. Memorable because of the occasion, but also because of the straight-forward, honest delivery. Since the mid 1980s, I've been fortunate to know Sheena Wellington as a friend and I was delighted when she was chosen to give this performance of the great Robert Burns song, "A Man's A Man For A' That", at the official opening of the Scottish Parliament on 1st July 1999.

Would love this to be our National Anthem,this rendition is wonderful and by a brilliant singer,but it is a song with a rousing chorus that even the worst singer (like myself) can carry

Wow, that is so beautiful. Makes one proud to be off Scottish blood. The day will come when it IS the national anthem.

I'm so glad there is the full version being shown here. I've been wondering why the others missed a verse but they've obviously edited it out. I'll be watching this from now on.

Thanks, Bruce! It's good to have the original on YouTube and I do appreciate you taking pity on my technical ineptness!
