Police horses training to deal with public disorder
"Hooves on the ground, propellers in the sky" - that's how one officer described the Scottish police's approach to dealing with public order.

After unrest in other parts of the UK over the summer, the spotlight has been on how to deal with protests and unrest.

Police say their approach is changing rapidly - with a combination of drones and horses now likely to be more useful in a riot situation than shields and batons.

The BBC was given exclusive access to the Scottish police's mounted unit training - meeting some experienced horses as well as some newbies just learning the ropes. @bbc.com October 17, 2024

John McDermott- Scotland Forever "Scotland The Brave" 12/30/2013 /@DermottStudio John McDermott Scotland Forever "Scotland the Brave" (LIVE) "a time to remember" DVD (2002) click "Show more" to see lyrics.
Lyrics:

Let Italy boast of her gay gilded waters
Her vines and her bowers and her soft sunny skies
Her sons drinking love from the eyes of her daughters
Where freedom expires amid softness and sighs

Scotland's blue mountains wild where hoary cliffs are piled
Towering in grandeur are dearer tae me
Land of the misty cloud land of the tempest loud
Land of the brave and proud land of the free

Enthroned on the peak of her own highland mountains
Te spirit of Scotia reigns fearless and free
Her green tartan waving o'er blue rock and fountain
And proudly she sings looking over the sea

Here among my mountains wild I have serenely smiled
When armies and empires against me were hurled
Firm as my native rock I have withstood the shock
Of England, of Denmark, of Rome and the world

But see how proudly her war steeds are prancing
Deep groves of steel trodden down in their path
The eyes of my sons like their bright swords are glancing
Triumphantly riding through ruin and death

Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombs
Deepeyed in gore is the green tartan's wave
Shivering are the ranks of steel dire is the horseman's wheel
Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave

Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombs
Deepeyed in gore is the green tartan's wave
Shivering are the ranks of steel dire is the horseman's wheel
Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave
Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave
