Scottie Club UK is asking Members to help choose a song that will become their united tune for 2025!
“ScottieVision” will put Scotties on the map. We will run an inaugural pilot vote via WhatsApp polling on the weekend of Saturday-Sunday 30-31 August, 2025. It will be totally FREE to vote but only Scottie Club UK Members on 30 August 2025 will be eligible to vote.
The contest will open at 0700 BST on 30 August and the winner will be announced right after polling ends on WhatsApp Convo at 1900 BST on 31 August.
There will be a choice between two songs crafted for us by band “Aroo”.
Members will have to decide which one they want crowned as the club’s song.
Why are we doing this? To raise awarenesss about our beloved Scottish Terriers which can lead to more investment in healthcare for this breed of dog, as well as to celebrate the milestone that Scottie Club UK is now a national network with an expanding number of Meeting Marshals bringing Scotties’ owners together for Walkabouts with their Very Important Pooches throughout the UK!
In the best traditions of that famous European music festival, you can already hear the songs through August, so that we can all get behind both amazing versions.
And if you play the songs and your Scotties react by singing along, please do share your videos with us on WhatsApp so that we can distribute them on YouTube, social media and on ScottieClub.UK website!

The band performing, Aroo, is the same for both tunes and the lyrics, penned by George Matlock, are also the same.
So you are literally voting for a song, not the visual experience of the performers or whom the performers represent (no politics here they are all Scottish, Welsh, English and Northern Irish performers!).
You can also hear the songs presented by George Matlock on Scottie Radio UK on Spotify or your favourite podcast app.
If the pilot is a success, expect a larger contest next May as we go head-to-head with Eurovision!
“Scottie Pride”
Music: Aroo. Lyrics: George Matlock
Little legs with a hearty stride,
A rugged coat, a noble pride,
Eyes so bright, full of cheer,
Scottie love is always near.
From the valleys to the hills afar,
They’re our champions, our shining star,
Loyal hearts, brave and true,
Forever Scottie, through and through!
Scottie Club UK, we’re shining bright,
Celebrating every fluffy fight,
Loyal, brave, and full of cheer,
Scottie love, so crystal clear!
Scottie Club UK, we’re shining bright,
Celebrating every fluffy fight,
Loyal, brave, and oh so true,
Scottie pride in all we do!
With a waddle and a sassy bark,
They light up every park,
Guardians bold, with charm to spare,
A Scottish Terrier’s love is rare.
From the Highland glen to city’s roar,
They bring us joy and so much more,
With spirited zest and a nose to the ground,
Scottie friends are truly profound!
Scottie Club UK, we’re shining bright,
Celebrating every fluffy fight,
Loyal, brave, and full of cheer,
Scottie love, so crystal clear!
Scottie Club UK, we’re shining bright,
Celebrating every fluffy fight,
Loyal, brave, and oh so true,
Scottie pride in all we do!
Join our ranks, and feel the pride,
With Scotties by your side,
A family bond, so warm and strong,
Where Scottie hearts belong.
From show rings to countryside,
Their elegance and courageous stride,
Every tail wag, every bark,
Makes our world a little spark.
In every cuddle, every hug,
They’re symbols of our Scottish love,
A breed so noble, full of grace,
In our hearts they hold a special place.
Scottie Club UK, we’re shining bright,
Celebrating every fluffy fight,
Loyal, brave, and full of cheer,
Scottie love, so crystal clear!
Scottie Club UK, we’re shining bright,
Celebrating every fluffy fight,
Loyal, brave, and oh so true,
Scottie pride in all we do!
So here’s to Scotties everywhere,
With every wag and tender stare,
Join the club, and spread the cheer,
Scottie pride year after year!

.
🐾 Looking forward to the 30th August 2025 to vote🎤, I’m sure TED will have his say 📢.
Fab Max. This will be a tough contest. Not 30 songs which need two hours of voting, but a battle between two brilliant songs. That makes this a cliffhanger! Thank you Aroo for landing these great versions. Hope you like the lyrics. Took me a wee while to come up with this text 😆
Well George, myself and John said it must have taken quite a while to come up with those lyrics 😀, we do LOVE our Scotties ♥️.
Fantastic 💙, both excellent, 2nd one shades it just, for us 👌, well done all
Fab feedback Nigel. Great to see its not a hamdunk easy decision. I reckon this will be very close. The voting begins 7am on 30 August on whatsapp Convo and for those members who opted out of Convo we will allow them to vote too via whatsapp Alerts.
The result will be known after 7pm on 31 August. Please everyone remember to vote! Every vote coultd count. And yes if you are a member of both whatsapp channels you are rewarded with placing 2 votes 🗳 this weekend!
