  • Honour is right. there is a referendum coming up. Vote for scottish independence. If You want scotlands independence, you can get it!

    "for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions for, be brought under English rule."

    The Declaration of Arbroath 1320

  • @jackobitepratt ...the heart says 'yes', the imagination says 'yes' ; to see the lion rampant rise again; to see the saltire furling in the breeze above loyal Scotsmen truly stirs the blood......but the head say 'be careful'; will it be President Salmon or will the Stewart descendants return to the throne?; will it be the euro or the Scots pound?...+ a thousand other questions.. not a decision to be made over a few drams..... Independence 'Yes'....maybe.....

  • @Honour42GB our quite right.questions must be asked to ensure we know what we are getting into. But, if Scotland does not take her independence this time, will she get the chance again? Your right. the heart says 'yes'. the imaginations say 'yes'. and the head says, 'be careful, but yes'.

    I doubt that the euro will be succesful in Scotland, but it is important to look at such matters closley. As for President Salmon or the Stewerts, i am not sure. What do you think?

  • @jackobitepratt ..No.1...I fiercely believe that every man has the right to self determination within the rule of law and that governments (as has been said before) should be 'of the people, by the people, for the people'. If Scotland gains independence I see a great advantage to a return of the throne. It raises Scotland from being just another country with a president, who nobody remembers, to being a sovereign state, it brings continuity and tradition.Worth more than it costs.

  • @jackobitepratt ..No 2 Scotland has much to offer and also much to lose. Cutting the ties with the United Kingdom may seem to correct past wrongs, but that blood has been shed and the tears have long since dried. It is time to look to the future. Can Scotland stand alone? I doubt it. Does Scotland want to be like Greece under the heel of Brussels or to become a porn in America's 'New world Order'. If the Bildeberg group gets it's greasy paws on Scotland, then God help you...

  • @jackobitepratt ...No 3.. Maybe a better way to go would be for Scotland to become a separate and independent sovereign nation within Great Britain. This would require a repeal or re-writing of the act of union. Scotland and England cannot and should not ever part, the past is the past and history spurs on great patriotic fervour but surely the future should be side by side,on equal terms, making an even stronger and greater Britain..(this will cause some comments...help!)

  • .....after the battle defeated highlanders, some cleaved and bloody struggling, weary, exhausted and so sad, back to their bothies, only to be pursued by British redcoats throughout the hills and glens. Banned from wearing the plaid, banned from bearing arms and forced to submit allegiance to King George. Then came the highland clearances, that vicious time of evictions & deportations. But now over 250yrs later freedom is within their grasp, if they want it. Scotland can rise again.

  • Why were the Scots hated so?

  • @imagineers0 they wernt ,just the jacobites,highland scots following a catholic prince, who as well as the scots crown,wanted the english crown to,he invaded england to march on london, the lowland scots themselves didnt want a catholic monarch, and fought against the jacobites to.,

  • The majority were certainly not Scots on the Hanoverian side and there were hardly any English on the Jacobite site - only the small Manchester Regiment - those Jacobite English who survived were hanged, drawn and quartered for treason, irrespective of rank. Despite the random butchery and complete destruction of their culture and way of life, that fate was not applied to the ordinary Highlanders.

  • Though there were some Scots in the ranks of the Hanoverian Government forces at Culloden - strict Presbyterian Covenanters and their Campbell allies - Cumberland was rather contemptuous of them - he kept them back from the action. He certainly didn't trust them and didn't like them. In the ethnic cleansing of the Highlands that followed, loyalist clans and rebels suffered alike. The same clearances, prohibitions and deportations applied to them all.

  • The Scots really took a kicking here, there were even scots clans fighting scots, but the wierdest part of the battle was at the end when the English wouldnt let the wounded scots be recovered, then they bayoneted and canoned every scot on the field.............crazy stuff

  • EVER IN HISTORY , YOURS & MINE , MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND,, & IF MY WOLVES COULD HAVE FOUGHT WITH YOURS , YOURS WOULD HAVE WON !!! EVER LOYAL & ALWAYS IN FRIENDSHIP

  • always for my Friend Bonnie Christina !!!

  • Down to London for example, too many Germans there anyhow. 

  • @Avitinyourface Besides the border could be moved South to include a bit of farmland.

  • @Avitinyourface Fish

  • A farquharson and Campbell. My family was on seperate sides of the war. And this song always brings tears

  • @Avitinyourface our oil money pays for it u dingle!!! scotland has 8 % of the u k population but pays over 9% of the tax in the uk. so that tells u who pays for it

  • Hi,no better way to learn about history than from a song,especially if sung with the pain and the passion that are in lyrics that are fact not fiction ,bonus of this song,sung by a Scottish person.

    Thanks candw87 for the share.

  • im english and the scots should of won it was the right cause but wrong leader my hat is off to them highlanders  and what we did after though was horrible the passification was hartless

  • The Black Legion will revenge you!

    

  • I felt one ghost there, but I believe it was a child.

  • makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up

  • I really hate it when black people all work together secretly and smile really big and give you things you never asked for and ask you to do more and more things that you are EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE DOING FOR THEM as they escalate the requests all the way to a RAGING QUIET RAPE.

  • thank god we won that day or we would ALL be undr the tyrrany of ROME

  • @NOVATICANWARS rome has nothing to do with this...........london state is just as bad

  • @3tangle3 Rome did -They're still poking their nose in the Church of England -trying to convert us to Catholicism -The breakaway group from the C o E has formed the Ordinariate of Walsingham -The Pope in his visit last year gave permission for the C o E married Clergy to be ordained into the Catholic Church -where is the celibacy so much practiced by Rome

  • @candw87 ok if you put it that way......celtic form of christianity was so progressive for its day but we have as a collective forgotten :'(

  • @NOVATICANWARS its was the fucking saxons at the synod of whitby that first agreed to rome church led religion back in late 400s!!! replacing the more tolerant and progressive celtic church....the fucking hypocrisy......go read history far far more complex than watching britain gots talent

  • The singers are obviously unaware of the realties of war. Nobody dies with "pride and dignity." Men die many ways - screaming, crying, calling for their mothers - or just drop with a sigh. One guy I remember said, "It hurts real bad, sir." They fall shot to shit, or are torn to bloody ribbons, or minus a limb or their heads. There is no "pride and dignity" in war or death in general, people. Just horror and ugliness.

  • @celt1745

    It's not the physical act that they're describing.....it's the fearless nature in which they faced death.....which for many was guaranteed... would you not want to die fighting for something you believe in?

  • @celt1745 I was in the Royal Artillery from 1937-1947 l saw it all -they pray for the Gorious Dead believe you me there's nothing glorious about getting a bullet in you or giving his life that others might live- he died because he wasn't quick enough to duck when the s---e came over

  • carreeC arent irish and scottish the same kind've the same

  • @ParkMinyoung only gaelic ones......history far more complex.....S scotland spoke language dialect of old welsh......see "yr hen ogledd" strathclyde from old welsh Ystrad clud

  • i reckon you couldnt trust a scotsmans as far you could throw him bunch of back stabbers half of them

  • @gun131313 thing is you little bag of wind your no man enough to throw a hielander anywhere so crawl back up your own arsemaybe that will stop you talking shite

  • Beautiful and emotive song. Culloden was an example of ordinary people losing everything for the sake of the claim of an exiled Stuart.

    What a waste,yet we are still exploited by our masters....even now young men are being sent to die in Afghanistan....WHY?

  • more Scots were in the legal Government army most were Scottish Presbyterians

  • @perthcampsie Aye, but most of those were lowland scots that never knew or even tried to understand the ways and the reasons why the Highlanders were so willing to die, even the dirt-poor farmers, the very young and the very old, for their cause, their way of life.

  • @Inquisitor53 and even today they continue to divide and conquer us. Fools that we are. Time to walk away from the Butcher's Bloody Apron and towards a future for ourselves. Good or bad. At least they will be our mistakes or triumphs.

  • @weegiewarbler Roger that.

  • @Inquisitor53 this sounds like the usual "aul hag wi a casio organ".. but whats really annoying is the implication(in this song/vid ..and also the tripe frequently asserted by Sepratists, that somehow Culloden was Scots v English...Highlanders and Lowlanders on both sides Episcopallians. catholics and Protestants v Protestants and Catholics,both armies fighting to decide who was to be King of GREAT BRITIAN!Commemorate ALL the people,s and religions of Both armies!!

  • It moved me a lot with this video

    The music is very beautiful

    Congratulations video

  • Nádherná písnička  která chytne u srdce Michal

  • @1michal23 i agree

  • I'm nae scottish but wish I were ! This is a really fab sad song

  • SCOTLAND AND NO UNION! ALBA GU BRATH!

  • This is just an experiment in time - at the ground - so please send some more tanks and amoured vehicles. We dont need any support by air, or tanks should be enough for them. What is rolling through the moor, thats just us...

  • sorry, that should be Stuart.

  • @inverkenny Did you do a google search to get your correction?

  • not too sure about this, it's a wee bit overly romantic for me, though Isla is a great singer, they never fought for liberty, they were fighting to put a Stewart back on the throne, something i agree with, but i dont like when people twist things and ultimately distort history, it was a civil war, it was not the wars of Independence, which Scotland won.

  • This song...for me....symbolizes not only the Brave Jacobites....but those who would fight...and have faught for the honor of our lands....and proudly wave our flags....

    stand strong My Cosuins....I salute you....

  • To My English Cousins....and My Irish and Scottish brothers and sisters...I come from a long line of proud Irish-Scots....and this song should resinate even more today....as governments (Particularly here in The US and UK) have now deemed our flags offensive to peoples who have emigarted to our lands.....

    I fear it won't be long before phrses like American, Briton, Scotsman, and Irishman, (and yes Welshman) become extinct.....as when we show pride in our haritage we're called bigoted....

  • @NCBoyJess How true

  • This makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Cumberland was a butcher.

  • Excellent, some of my forebearers were left lying on Culloden, I would love to get a copy of the Bagpipe music sore for this tune.

  • @PiperJim46 My ancesters fought and died -the majority of them were murdered by Cumberlands' shower as they lay wounded on the battlefield

  • Beware the Campbell's, murdered the Mc Donalds and sided with the crown at Culloden sold there country and race for 30 pieces of silver never to be trusted God save Scotland and all true jacobites

  • @liampett Most Scots did not even support the Jacobites in anyway. All the lowlanders were against the highland Jacobites. The British army that fought the Jacobites had 3 Scottish battalions in it (and one Irish).

  • @TheVargr Aye and English,Irish,Welsh and even Scots fought against Wallace and the loyal patriots at Falkirk in 1298.

  • Fantastic song, great sentiment, the music is brilliant. Thank for this super video.

  • Thought you might appreciate also this fine modern classic ("Culloden's Harvest") written by Scottish minstrel Alastair McDonald (though it's often wrongly attributed as "traditional"), and performed here in an impeccably understated way by Alastair himself.

  • i love this song its so sad wat happend to the scotish though im scotish

  • This was another spark for the Scots fight for liberty in the US. Soon, there will be another revolution in the US - Probably again, led by MacGregor Scots - who have been fighting for freedom our whole bloodlines.

    This will be the last war for freedom won on Earth. Because we will have a true king on our side - the only king I will kneel for: Our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ!

  • Let our Clann stand strong for our Lord, Savior, and King.

  • Isla Grant a great musical talent from Scotland.Many of the Scotish and Irish folk songs are about the various fights for freedoms.

  • no comment this is rly sad story and song too i wish i am from scotland or ireland rly love it ..this song means alot to me i am from serbia but in my heart i am them !!thx

  • That was alot like many of the clans. Not all were Blood kin or renters of land. Or Slaves as is commonly taught. There was more to it than that. Then blood joined in as clan-folk were married. And often formed alliances through those marriages. If you are a Celt at heart. Then you are accepted as a Celt in blood. We all came from the same loins anyway.

  • @osrik100 thanks for the comment mate this song makes me cry as i feel this right to the heart for all who died on this battle field cheers respect you u my friend

  • @osrik100 Greeting from Scotland,very nice thank you.

  • I feel this video inspires me alot and it should inspire you as well.I find this video is making me replay it over and over again and listening to the detail written throught the song and explaining how brave these men were for going to battle to save there land.This video should teach people not to be selfish and realize that these men left there children and there spouses at home even knowing that they may never see the next birthday,the next newborn,or the next anniversary.-soldiers,Thank You

  • This is a Salute , to those all that fought at Culloden !!! We dont need to make anymore comments , just Salute & listen ..

  • chords if possible please, where would I get the lyrics also

  • nice vid mate are you scottish

  • Puts a shiver thru your body

  • Hey Rick, if you're up to the task, are you able to figure out the chords to this song sometime.

  • a scottish and german queen.

    Now personally i don't really care but you think on that yourself...does that rankle a bit?

    i bet it does...being ruled by a descendant of Scots and Germans!

    Now that i've joined you horrible lot that post annoying comments i shall take my leave.

    Thank you anyway PnPrecy for a wonderful posting. I thoroughl enjoyed it.

  • now this really annoys me. somebody posts a fantastic video with beautiful music and some viewers resort to sleighting each other on the comments.

    alfred...scotland may ulimately be run from westminster but Gordon Brown, and Blair before him are both Scottish.

    On top of that the Queen whose blue a**e you'd lick if you got the chance is decended from Mary Queen of Scots-and from the Hanovers-a German family.

    aye we may be governed from westminster for now; but you and i are both ruled by

  • As the Grandson and Great Grandson....of a proud Irish-Scot Family...

    This song means alot to me....and anyone who loves freedom....

    Rest well my brothers....

  • oh but we do

  • do you? where is it then?

  • in afghanistan u stupid div

  • oh. you mean the british army, the one controlled by the english government. obviously scotland does have a regiment or two, but i wouldnt call it an army.

  • there are approx 40 or so regiments in the scots army

  • we were forced into it , and at the time england had an army 3 times bigger than our own so we had no hope of winniing a war

  • Though a hundred of us remain alive we will never submit to the English.

    Arbroath 1320.

  • but. if you check, who do you pay taxes too? the ENGLISH government in westminster.

  • You are such a thick twat that you don't realise that the majority of his army was made up of Scots. Culloden was not a Scotland v England battle. Go get an education before commenting on something you clearly don't understand.  Thicko!

  • but in reality who won?

  • The Hanovarians. Who were of German desent.

  • from hanover which at the time was a british province, as a result of the royal family, whose real name is saxe-coburg-gotha, so they were british, thus resulting in the british victory over the scottish rebels.

  • And if you check you will find there was Irish, English and French in the Jacobite army

  • yet they still lost

  • hilarious. you know im right so you resort to insults. how very scottish.

  • Cumberland was inept. He won because of the failings of Charlie not because he was a good leader. If Charlie had listened to Lord Murray then the outcome would have been very different.

    Cumberland went on to lose major battles in Europe after Culloden and was shown to be a bit of a clown.

    He didn't win at Culloden, Charlie lost it.

  • ALBA GU BRATH

  • I'm Irish and not really a monarchist but all hats off to the Highland Jacobites 1746...fab song x

  • @carreeC long live the Stuarts!!!!

  • Very beautiful song, and majestic !

    Norfolk UK

  • Very beautiful video. What is the title of the song and the group? Bravo.

  • Isla Grant chante cette chanson (dans les videos a cotè il y a une video avec la meme chanson)

    Amities!

  • the song is "ghosts of culloden " by isla grant

  • ` The ride belongs to Cherlie!` We could do with another Jacobite rising!

  • indeed we could , it would be good to take sweet revenge for culloden :)

  • great song,makes you proud to be scottish,lovely voice,as well as fantastic pipes,makes the hairs on the back of the neck stand up.

  • I would say something about Scottish ancestry, but that would probably bring gaelicscots out again. lol. Beautiful song though.

  • say something then and get him back out

  • He hasn't been to this video yet.

  • Let's hear what you have to say about Scottish ancestry.

  • I'm an American who is very proud of my Scottish ancestry but there is this one person (gaelicscots) who has something derogatory to say to any American if they so much as write it down so that is why I made that remark to my friend geobell, who lives in Glesga. It is a running joke between the two of us.

  • Okay, thanks. I wish some Scots were as proud of their ancestry as the Americans.

  • I think the Scots should be very proud of who they are, I think there are always some who aren't though, no matter where you're from. Sad but true.

  • The problem was that Bonnie Prince Charlie didn't listen to Lord Murray who recommended that they didn't take on Cumberland at Culloden but to wait for the remainder of his men to arrive and to take them on nearer to Nairn. Culloden was a marsh that didn't suit the Highland Charge.

  • great comment kirty33 lord andrew murray is one of my ancestors...charlie should have taken a bullet

  • Actually you got that wrong, Murray did try to fight the Governement army at Nairn, the night before Culloden. A long 10 mile march through the woods at night. The army was so string out they cancelled the attack and did not arrive back at culloden till morning, tired and exhausted, which was just another nail in the cofin for them, so to speak. Murray then advised a retreat further into the Highlands, which Charlie ignored, though it could be clearly seen that the moor was not the place to be

  • Who is the lady that sings this song?

    Thanks.

    Richard2287

  • Isla Grant.... Scottish through and through

  • they ran a cross marsh ground and die cos of it , and b4 you start with you dont know what your going on about my last name is MacArthur some of the high landers who was at the battle of Culloden we also fought for Robert the Bruce as well.

  • That was in 1314.......they would have to be....very aged to have faught in 1746...

    Now thier decendants...yes....they might have been there....

  • Great song and video! if you are standing there, just to hear the wind.. but you can feel you are not alone.. we never should forget whats happend there, never to forget all this brave and proudly man.

  • Brings a tear to the eye.

  • Simply Great!!!
