  • But will no one ever tell me--WHAT IS A DUNIEWASSAL? I keep asking--is it ralated to the English word "Vallal?"  Help!

  • why dont they play these old the celtic themed radio shows :(....fair play not radio 1 but some sort of radio

  • saw the Corries back in the 70's several times in Edinburgh - was surprised to find out that I actually lived not far from where Roy lived out his last years in Forres.

  • @noblefailure Sensible post. You are absolutely right. These songs were actually written as entertainment. This one was written by Sir Walter Scott and although it commemorates an early Jacobite figure the writer was a staunch supported of the British Hanovarian monarchy. It was just entertainment then and is so now too

  • I'm a "Yank" descended from the very Scot Presbyterians with whom Bloody Clavers so ruthlessly dealt, nonetheless I love this song, and I don't think I ought to let events of 300 years passed cause me to like this tune any less. To some folks he was hero and some he was a brigand, but I think whatever side our forefathers were on we can all appreciate a good tune that extols bravery and valour. Thanks for the post Iain 40.

  • @EMesaros it is a Highland gentleman
