All the Blue Bonnets Are Over The Border - Les Peterkin
Im a 90 year old and still piping - I like to know of other"OLD" Pipers!! This well known Scottish ballad refers to Bonnie Prince Charlie’s march in to England in 1745. A blue bonnets such as the one I made for the occasion was a traditional piece of highland dress and due to the large highland composition of the Jacobite army. it became associated with their faction. A white cockade was affixed to the blue bonnet and became an official emblem of the Jacobite affiliation. According to tradition, the white cockade originated when Bonnie Prince Charlie plucked a white rose and pinned it to his bonnet. at the time of the rebellion .
