Robert McBeath was my Great Uncle. I remember going to see his VC medal in Fort George as a young teenager. In the course of compiling info on the family tree, my father obtained copies of the Vancouver Police reports and witness statements from the night Robert was killed in exchange for original photographs of Robert.
His widow returned to the Highlands after his death and remarried, she also died a young woman.
Excellent Song Bruce and the Tiller's Folly gang! Beautiful story of Robbie McBeath and the Sutherland Clan. I can't wait to have it on CD! Terry of Maggie's Fury.
Tillers Folly at their best! Watching the video and listening to the song gave me goosebumps down my spine and brought tears to my eyes. The tragedy of war and violence. Beautiful music and heart-tugging lyrics.
wow Bruce and all the boys.. you've really done yourself proud with this one... where can we vote for this as the best song story and historical video ...of the year.. love it .. you remember Bill Campbell of Whiterock.. That's where his Grandparents came from and his Grandad became a Glasgow cop.. my daughter became a Vancouver cop.. so we really feel connected to this one.. ...

in 1919,Rab MacBeath VC transferred from the 5th Bn to the Canadian Battalion of the Seaforth Highlanders, where he was promoted to Sergeant.
The Regimental Association sends a detail including a piper to lay a wreath and play the Lament each November 11th.

Well done Bruce et al. And a special 'shout out' to Liam, your very own young "laddie-o" who did such a fine job on the video.
