Legend of Loch Lomond

http://www.janson.com/television/show_program.php?pid=1312
One Scottish soldier wrote the song, Loch Lomond to his sweetheart during the army's retreat from the English in 1745. Today, the song touches the heart of all who hear it, but while many know the song, few know the true story behind it.

Here's my verse:

The white rose is wilted, the Stuart banner fa'n,

And the weary are no longer roamin'.

But the weeping of my dear has never left my ear

Since the day that we marched from Loch Lomond.

Back to scotland and to take the low road means to take the road through the graves, through the sand and soil. The low road is where your soul is trekking back to Scotland.

Now I don't know if that is true but that is what I was told.

There is also a video where the rest can be seen

4 all English:

you have not been good in history. The Scots (as well as Britains, Japanese, Australish, all left drivers) are driving on the right site. Study history books again about the medieval age referring to defending of Ladies by knights. The Ladies have been on the left side, the knight had the sword in the right hand for saving the Lady. The fight had been fought from the left to the right. Bec. of that all continent. europeans r driving on the wrong side.

@runa007able1

Hast wohl in Geschichte nicht aufgepasst. Die Schotten (auch Briten, Japaner, Asutralier, sonstige Linksfahrer) fahren auf der richtigen Seite. Lies mal in Geschichtsbüchern über das Mittelalter nach bzgl. der Verteigung der Ladies durch die Ritter. Die Damen waren auf der linken Seite des Ritters, der mit der rechten Hand das Schwert führte, um die Dame zu schützen. Der Kampf wurde also von links nach rechts geführt. Deswegen fahren wir in D auf der falschen Seite.

@danonutube1 There were hardly any Catholics in Scotland in the 17th and 18thC. Small pockets on the mainland, some of Clad Donald, and several smaller island clans. Approximations have put the Catholic population of Scotland at that time at anywhere from about 2% - 5%. Probably nearer the 2%. Just because Jacobites from Ireland and England tended to be Catholic it doesn't mean Scotland was the same. Different histories! Religious conflict in 17thC Scotland was presbyterian v episcopalian.

@danonutube1 Actually there were Highlanders, Lowlanders and English on both sides in the various Jacobite Risings though by the 45 the English contingent had reduced to a trickle. The Jacobite army only entered England though because the prince had promised them that the English would rise in support! The Pretenders were Catholic but the bulk of the Scots (and bulk of the Highlanders) in the Jacobite Army were Protestant. They were mostly non-juring Episcopalians - that is Scottish Anglicans.

hey !!!!! You got to put the rest of that video up. I was just getting hooked in to the story and ....................cut short. Please put up more.

[runa007able1]

Die singen 1. falsch und fahren 2. auf der falschen Seite !

[danonutube1]

Lol the lowlanders were predominantly Protestant lol not catholic please forgive the typo

[danonutube1]

@cloneoffred you are right in that there was Scotsmen fighting on both sides the highlanders were predominantly catholic and fought for the house of Stewart whilst the lowlanders who were predominantly catholic helped the English fight for the house of hangover like hefferman said
