♫ Scottish Bagpipes - The Flowers of the Forest ♫

This was written by Jean Elliot on the 18th century and is a reworking of an older song about the non-return of the large number of Scottish soldiers after the Battle of Flodden, when 10,000 are said to have perished along with their king and large numbers of the nobility.

@glasgow1234 It's with big pleasure, my friend. That's not only music. It's culture !

By the way, even the chosen landscapes on your videos, are amazing. You're a real artist.

When I watch them, I just feel I'm transported there:)

Thank you so very much. My family, Greenlaw is of Clan Home/Hume that was on the left flank in the charge. Greenlaw, my home, is about 15 miles norh of Flodden. Many of my family, Greenlaw, likely were some of the flowers, who did not return. Even though I do not know individually who they were, I give my respect and honour to each and every one of them.
