Alba gu bràth
Alba gu bràth is a Scottish Gaelic phrase used to express allegiance to Scotland. Idiomatically it translates into English as 'Scotland forever'.
It has also been used on some Scotland Football National team shirts over the past few seasons.
The phrase is parallel to the Irish Erin go bragh, Welsh language slogan Cymru am byth, the Breton Breizh da viken or the Cornish language Kernow bys vyken.In the 1995 film Braveheart, Scottish patriot and national hero William Wallace shouts "Alba gu bràth" as he gallops across the front of his assembled Scottish troops just prior to the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
