Alba gu bràth (pron: al-op-pa goo bra) means, literally, "Scotland till judgment" or, loosely, "Scotland forever."

The Irish phrase, 'Erin go bragh' is from Scottish Gaelic, and comes originally from a 19th century Scottish song, titled 'Erin go bragh' (Eirinn gu bràth, in Sc. Gaelic).

There is a good article on the history of the phrase at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_Go_Bragh
