Alba gu bràth

Alba gu bràth (pronounced) is a Scottish Gaelic phrase used to express allegiance to Scotland (Alba). Idiomatically it translates into English as 'Scotland forever', though the literal meaning is 'Scotland until judgement' referring to the religious idea of a great judgement at the end of time.
The phrase is parallel to the IrishÉirinn go Brách ('Ireland Forever'), Welsh language slogan Cymru am byth ('Wales forever'), the BretonBreizh da viken ('Brittany forever') or the Cornish languageKernow bys vykken ('Cornwall forever').
