At Gordonstoun, which Philip attended as a schoolboy, a 17-year old piper also stood on the roof by the school's flag at half mast and played "Flowers Of The Forest". The piper walks from the North Quire Aisle to The Dean’s Cloister. Saturday 17 April 2021

A little background:
Pipe Major Colour Sargent Peter Grant, 4th Battalion The Highlanders Royal Regiment of Scotland.

The office of Garter Principal King of Arms, part of whose announcement we hear in this video, has existed since 1415. The current holder of the office is Thomas Woodcock.

A lament for the army of James IV, the flower of Scottish manhood, slain with their king on the field of Flodden, September 1513. The composition of this song began with a fragment of a very old ballad. Mrs Patrick Cockburn of Ormiston drew on this fragment to write a full song. Then in the mid 18th century Miss Jane Elliot, daughter of Sir Gilbert Elliot of Minto, Lord Chief Justice Clerk of Scotland, drew on Mrs Cockburn’s work to make this lyric a much finer piece of work.

Others add: the Scottish "Forest" was a district and Royal forest comprising Selkirkshire (alternatively known as Ettrick Forest or the Shire of the Forest), large parts of Peeblesshire and parts of Clydesdale, known for its archers. The archers of Ettrick Forest earned the epithet "Flowers of the Forest" at the Battle of Falkirk in 1298, and formed the bodyguard of King James IV at Flodden (September 1513), where their corpses were found surrounding their dead monarch.

Poet Jean Elliot wrote lyrics for the ancient tune sometime about 1757. Her refrain is haunting, “The Flooers of the Forest are a’ wede awa’ “. Translated from Scots dialect, it means, “The Flowers of the Forest are all wilted away.”

[old poem snippet] "For the dour Scots are the men that God made mad, for all their wars are merry, And all their songs are sad."
