Sarena Paton - Will Ye No Come Back Again?

[0ZeroKelvin0]

Mad Jack Churchill was a big fan of this one. RIP The only man to ever charge a bunker with a sword screaming "COMANDO!"

[mindofalunitc]

God bless Canada and her splendid armed forces

[FozzieFaeCumbersneky]

Nice one Canada.

[RexKnu]

She has a wonderful voice! I saw her yesterday singing with Fernando Lima here in Argentina! :D

[Scotland428]

Scottish music certainly stirs the soul...God Bless you all

[exopatriot]

I don't have a good ear for distinguishing Scottish accent. This song just brought me to tears.

[Ascaidh]

Honor the men and women that gave all so you can be free.

[PadraikKasier]

Nice, but the Real McKenzies do a much rowdier version.

[lietz13]

Damn right.

[joefury23]

anything with bagpipes makes it 100 times more awesome without.

"should i die, may i hear the sweet wail of bagpipes at my funeral"

[686204]

As these are Canadian Soldiers which have a history of many Scottish regiments due to a strong Scottish ancestry, it is probably their Regimental march being saluted.

[686204]

If you take a closer look you will see that this is the Canadian Military, not the Brits. Canada has a great Scottish history as well as Irish and English and Welsh. For that matter my mother came from Aberdeen. Also the British army of today and for the considerable past included Scottish regiments one of which my grandfather served with the Gorden Highlanders.

[DrinkToIreland]

@686204 my great grandmother from argyle region. My great grandfather on the other side of my dads family was from dundee district

Pal,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I recall, Scotland signed the act of union in 1711. They were not forcibly occupied. And the Stewart kings were VERY MUCH lowlanders, and despised many of their own countrymen. As I recall one of the Jameses had a plantation set up in the Islands with the intention of enslaving and wiping out those pesky highlanders. So before you boil it down into good Scots vs evil English, do some research.

[jef07r]

Yes you are wrong but will be corrected; Scotland was bullied into the Union by the English - See Darien Scheme, Alien Act 1705, Act of Settlement (various years) - and was endorsed by the Scots Parliamentarians (led by the insidious Duke of Queensberry) who had been, in effect, @bought and sold for English Gold against the wishes of the Scottish people. The Act of Union was signed in clandestine circumastances in a cellar opposite the Tron Kirk in 1707.

Always good to research things eh?

[w56p54003]

Hey guys,

She's Canadian! I did a search on her and she is not from England or Scotland, so stop squabbling and give the girl some credit for doing a great job!

[Volkmoidruk]

Is English your second language, or is this a symptom of the UK's school system going down the pan?

[Volkmoidruk]

It's become a traditional farewell for Scottish soldiers going to war, and has lost a lot of the Jacobite connotations.

[sonrouge]

I've only heard part of this song while watching the last of "Gunga Din", yet something about it was just very soul-stirring. Could anyone explain the meaning to me, please?

[malevolentintellect]

i remember that scene - the Black Watch storms the Guru's temple. the song was composed by Lady Elphinstone in the 19th century to express the loss felt by Jacobites after the defeat at Culloden, subsequent repression and highland clearances and the ignominous escape by Bonnie Prince Charlie Stuart (the Young Pretender) from the Western Isles

[Jacobitejames]

Why are so many of my fellow Scots so pig ignorant of their own history!!!! The Jacobites were NOT (REPEAT NOT) Scottish nationalists. They were loyal to the only legal dynasty, the Royal Stuarts, who were a Scottish clan who ruled both Scotland AND England. Edinburgh is named so after King Edwin, a Saxon, Edinburgh was in the Anglo-Saxon part of Scotland. READ A HISTORY BOOK YOU HALF-WITTED, PSEUDO-SCOTTISH FAKE!!!

[malevolentintellect]

exactly Edwin of Northumbria...i was completing my dissertation on the subsequent power centre's and cultural exchange of Northumbria, Mercia and Wessex in Saxon England. People tend to see it as a reprise of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce...it was a competition first between the House of Orange, then the House of Hanover vs. the House of Stuart with the throne of the United Kingdom as the prize.

[Dalriada35]

It's an old traditional Scots song - yes it is about the '45 rebellion - but that was 250 years or more ago. Let it go.

[bondie45]
