the jacobite cause showed that the clans could unit under the one banner, through out our history we have fought among ourselves until it came to the defence of our country, that proves that scotland is one of the most patriotic countries in the world. No matter what,the patriots of this country will do anything and lay down there lives for the land they love!

Man, that is a BIG bodhrán!

@ColdMattyCross And this song has nothing to do with the Jacobites anyway. It is taken from a Scott novel set in the mid 16thC and the song actually is about Borderers going over the border into England in the name of the Scottish Queen! They seem in this video to have changed it to King for some unknown reason!

hail the jacobites.

@UrFavWorstNightmare I'm afraid thats just nonsense. The Highland clans fought on both sides at Culloden. There were Jacobite clans and Hanoverian clans. The Jacobite cause incidentally had nothing to do with the defence of our country, it was a fight over who would rule britain from London.

Teviotdale is the best!!!

@rbmMan2 and her husband the Presbyterian regime was restored in Scotland and in turn the non-juring Episcopalians were then oppressed. each side were as bad as each other. In Ireland and England the Jacobites were synomonous with Catholicism but not so in Scotland. Catholics came out yes, but the bulk of the Scottish Jacobites were Episcopalians and came out despite the Pretenders Catholicism - not because of it.

Border Reivers followed no religion,neither did they follow any monarch.Reivers followed one code,that being loyalty to family and friends and everyone else was fair game.Thats why families could put 3000 men in the saddle when needed.They were experts at playing each side against each other and reiving only came to a halt at the union of the crowns when they were hunted down like animals and were either hung or deported.The term "Jethart justice" comes in at this point.

The regimental march of the King's Own Scottish Borderers.

I think you'll find it's a song dedicated to the Scottish Border Reivers. Eskdale and Liddesdale, Ettrick and Teviotdale. The Wild Border Men who preyed on English and Lowland Scots alike - the Borderers suffered a fate worse than the Highlanders (who the Reivers thought of as Irish - not Scots. The Protestant Scots-Irish of the USA are descendents of the Border Reivers.

I hope you're going to approve my comments, because it was a bit of a waste of time to write them, if you're not going to.

@UrFavWorstNightmare Perhaps that's a factor in what makes Scottish men so sexy; from my reading (more extensive than my real travels) & limited travels to ten countries, I've seen NO equal to Scottish men
