The Scots song "Is There For Honest Poverty", by Robert Burns, is more commonly known as "A Man's A Man For A' That", and famous for its expression of egalitarian ideas of society, which may be seen as anticipating the ideas of liberalism that arose in the 18th century, and those of socialism which arose in the 19th century.
The song was sung at the opening of the Scottish Parliament, and is sometimes associated with ideas of Scottish independence. It is also known in translations into other European languages, for example the German "Trotz Alledem Und Alledem".
