On Burns Day -
Fareweel to a' our Scottish fame,
Fareweel our ancient glory,
Fareweel ev'n to the Scottish name,
Sae fam'd in martial story.
Now Sark rins o'er the Solway sands,
And Tweed rins to the ocean,
To mark where England's province stands -
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation.

And they claim that stupid looking steeple thing is the Wallace Monument. Not! Are they claiming that all of Scotland is hovered over by a colossal windmill? ANY actual artist, even the worst, would have done better. Concept art requires an artist.
