  • chief henchman for the monarch during the suppression of Presbyterians known as the Killing Times. In short he was a marked man as soon as his master was thrown off the throne!

  • @CamzoOBrien Killiecrankee was fought between Scottish armies. There was no other Brits involved. Once James lost his English power base the Scots threw him off the Scottish throne branding him a traitor. Only Claverhouse, who Walter Scott later romanticised as Bonnie Dundee, took up arms for the deposed king, but he could find no support in the Lowlands so went into the Highlands to raise an army there.

  • wow, i can not honestly not tell if this was the original or not, ,,,great job lads, i am looking forward to hearing more of your stuff

  • I have to tell you, most of the music people listen today doesn't have true quality. But the real music that changes people is the one worth listening, the music where someone left piece of his soul, the music that comes straight from the heart.It can be a song of a fisherman and his hard life,about friendship,love... anything where you can feel something special,something that you can't describe,and that,my friend, is the piece of soul someone shared with you through this song.It lasts forever.

  • Might be wrong, but I didn't think Burns wrote this song. Can anyone confirm?

  • Indeed he did in so much as he reworked an old Jacobite song into the one we know today. In Burns' time however there were only ever 3 verses: "Where hae ye been.....I foucht at land.....The bauld Pitcur".

    Any others are more modern additions....

  • nice lad! 'ery nice! :)
