This is a truly tragic song, and I love it ... this is beautiful. Thank you! I've listened to it a half-dozen times, and it warms and stabs my Scottish heritage's heart
You might like to see Alastair McDonald's own performance of "Culloden's Harvest", which he wrote, and indeed he is very much alive & still performing regularly around Scotland. (The song has a very hauntingly "traditional" feel to it, but actually Alastair wrote it.) Alastair's performance of his "Culloden's Harvest", along with some other terrific songs performed by Alastair, can be viewed via my favourites or through Treblestring & Camfind channels. ENJOY! (He's a great guitarist too.)
The Jacobite artillery has been generally regarded as being ineffective in the battle. Some modern accounts claim that the Jacobite artillery suffered from having cannon with different calibres of shot. In fact, all but one of the Jacobite cannon were 3-pounders.
Their cannons were vastly inferior and less frequent but they did still have a couple (alls fair in love and war I suppose). Anyway I am Scottish so I'm not really trying to argue either way particularly as it was practically a civil battle (if there is such a thing).
At Sean2Ireland , my sentaments exactly. I really can't say it any better.
