The wee lads and lassies were the pupils of Kingussie Primary School. I pinned the cocades on the Corries (Oh the nerves! I was sure I would stick them!) My isiter is the curly blonde behind Roy :-) Oh the memories. this was the most exciting event in our wee lives.
A fantastic film have always wondered where the kids came from that skipped and sang along the road with the Corrie's and who was the wee lass that hah to pin the emblems on them you were a brave wee lass ROZ thankyou
It really adds something to have the kids singing with them in this. A bit of fun and yet a bit of poignancy. Also, a symbol of the music being kept alive.
That gorgeous instrument that Roy is playing is called a Bandurria. I believe it’s Spanish in origin. It has been beautifully adopted into Scottish music along with the mandolin.
Very difficult to play and normally strummed with chords, rather than used like a mandolin on steroids. In Roy's hands with what I suspect may be a different tuning to the straight fourths used in Spain (like a guitar only instead of B and E for the highest two strings, you get C and F) it sounds lovely. When played en masse by 'sabados' (weekend/festival local instrument and vocal groups) it's very different - and almost impossible to get/keep in tune!
They are skipping in time to the music, or it looks like it anyway. Just realized that when I started to sing the chorus and their skipping was part of what was keeping me in time. That's pretty impressive for their age(s). They will all be grown up by now of course. Not sure if their school taught them or their parents taught them or what, but whoever it was did an excellent job. (So did the kids too of course.)
These children are long grown up by now but this video lives forever. ❤️💙❤️ (Inside our hearts as well as on RUclips. ❤️💙❤️) Follow the laddie with the white cockade. 🌼 Oh, and also. Bravo the Corries. 🏴
the fifer and drummer of the Acton Company, Massachusetts Militia played this tune as they confronted British regulars at the Concord north Bridge. A Jacobite tune to gall the regulars.
This is very much not a Jacobite tune since it predates the revolution of 1688. As a song/lyrics combination, it also dates from some time after 1787 when Rober Burns wrote the lyrics and it was attached to this old tune. So the militia company may well have played the tune. What they certainly didn't do was play something about Jacobites or, 'gall the regulars'.
Hi Fireflyx15 I'm very glad you did post it. My daughter suggested looking for this clip here and I never in my wildest dreams imagined I would find it. So thanks again Oh!.. I have to say, The Corries were just wonderful to us. They sang us all sorts of funny little cheeky songs between takes etc. :-)
@Chomuno The white cockade was a symbol worn on the blue bonnets of the Highlanders as they followed Tearloch/Chairly to his and our fate in the years of 1745 to 1746. (Only worn by the Jacobites who could afford a bonnet. others wore then on shirts or other bits of clothing. ) Many is the day I have flown down this road and others in Kingussie in my uncles wee 3 wheeled car.
In the Jacobite forces of 1745-46, there were deserters from the British Army who continued to wear their uniforms, merely removing the Hanoverian black cockade and replacing it with the white one. The Jacobites' rather poor quartermaster service often had no other uniforms to issue anyway. A number of them were executed after the rebellion was suppressed.
this is awesome!!! you did a great job with it. I love how the audio matches the video.this is going to be one of my favorite videos of all time and I'm sending the link to my folkie friends. thank you!!!
@@fireflyxl5 thanks, that explains a lot, including all those "cozy" concerts you posted. in the 60s it seems that folk music was all over TV in several countries with many performances before small audiences. You've done a great service posting them.
@carole7351 I know what you mean. I'm from Germany, but in the moment I hear the Corries, my heart cries for Caledonia. I'm sure, I lived there in a former live.
@kingussie I have been a Corries fan all my life, so when my son Roy found this story, he showed me, I had to say hi. It's a wonderful story, thanks for sharing it =)
Anyone listening .mah guys need a scottish knighthood.Cos they make me greet every friday when am oan the swalley .Scotlands underestimated mediavel minstrels.
The white cockade was the white rose wore by Charlie the young pretender that he plucked from a bush on a march in Scotland. Not a proper rose but The garden wan. Many many Jacobites mimicked his rose upon their blue bonnets. And of course, Jacobites were not religiously motivated, ye had Catholic and Protestant and everyone inbetween just wanting the stuarts back on their seat.
@alligatorgal Think of the time and place. Kids actually did things like skip along. I think it would have been great if they'd started out with the kids and then gradually adults joined in the group too.
"Scotch" was a term imported from England which became used in Scotland too from the 1700s or so. The native terms 'Scots' or 'Scottish' have long reistablished themselves this side of the Atlantic and because people know the Scots don't particularly like the term "Scotch" it can also be used as a mild derogatory term by non-Scots. Obviously the word remains in use in North America but best not to use it in Scotland itself or you'd be plagued by people saying they are Scottish not Scotch.
Well actually it was. The last speaker of Galloway Gaelic died in the 1800s and until the early years of the last century Gaelic was spoken in parts of Lanarkshire. Many place names throughout the Lowlands can be traced to Gaelic roots.
The words of 'The Red Flag', anthem of the International Labour Movement, which was written by Irish socialist Jim Connell, from Kilskyre, County Meath, was intended to be sung to the air of The White Cockade. Connell wanted it that way, but as time went on people switched it to the air of Tannenbaum. A pity, perhaps.
Matty Watt Well, ye see boyo, that could possibly be due to the fact that I'm Irish. If you read my posts and look closely at my image you'll perceive the rapier like wit and rugged beauty of my countenance that are together the hallmark of my species. Still, not wanting to give offence I plan some more research into the subject this very evening. Who knows; by morning I may very well be spelling it without the E. ;}
You're a wise man. Anyway, I love the Scot's music every bit as much as I love our own. As for the uisce beatha, I'd rather drink it than write about it.
Although most Scottish Jacobites also wanted to end the union and urged Charlie to consolidate in Scotland and take the throne of Scotland alone. The aims of the Scottish, Irish and English Jacobites varies from each other and also from the Stuarts themselves who wanted all three thrones, albeit an end to the Union.
Thank you for your post. No war of independence happened in the 12 and 13 hundreds. You should not refer to the Wallace/ Bruce wars as a war of independence. This refers to colonies fighting for independence. Scotland had been a nation from at least the 800s, the struggle from 1297 was a fight against an illegal and very tenuous occupation - just as the French partisans struggled against an illegal occupation between 1940 and 1944. No one calls this a war of independence. Unionists label it a War of Independence to diminish Scotland, a much more ancient nation than England. I conscientiously referred to the 1745-46 conflict as a war to challenge the British label of 'rebellion' - in fact the Scottish patriots viewed the Hanoverians as rebels as their rule was based on the illegal usurpation of 1688. In 1745/46 Scots patriots invaded England and routed two armies of the line -stunning victories and were ready to renew the fight at Ruthven after the engagement outside Inverness in 1746. Do you really doubt this was a war? I never said it was Scots v English - I acknowledged there were Scots on the British side. Scots fought on both sides just as many Scots also fought against Wallace and Bruce and many French sided with the 3rd Reich. You are very wrong and disrespectful to label patriots as 'idiots' - they gave their life blood for Scotland. Duncan Ban McIntyre found himself on the British side at Falkirk but here is what he wrote some time afterwards: 'For England has command of us; Since she did wholly conquer us; There is anger too and misery In many a man now at this time, Who was in William's (Cumberland) camp before Who's no better that he's won; And if Prince Charles to us returned We would rise and follow him'
So, Kin-oos-sie (you don't pronounce the "g," correct?), that's you, the tallish lass who kept her coat on over her jumper? February! I was there in May, twelve (12) years ago, to visit Ruthven Bks. & it was windy & cold as all get-out. Don't blame you for trying to stay warm. So, did the BBC tell you all to skip along behind the boyz, or did that come naturally? Great video. WAY too short -- they should have let you-all skip along and sing four or five more verses!! Bravo.
As most combatants wore their day clothes, in order to distinguish sides, cockades were displayed. It is a knot of ribbons or other circular or oval-shaped symbol usually pinned to a hat. The white cockade was worn by Scots patriots in War of Independence 1745-46. Scots who stayed loyal to the British Crown wore black cockades in their hats.

@@RetroFlame04 The banjo originates from african slaves in the US and Carribean first documented in the 17th century described as African type instrument
@Jack-fs2im It continues to develop in these regions, especially in North America, but the original banjo comes from West Africa, probably around the Senegambia region and it was brought over during the Atlantic Slave Trade and would continue to adapt and change with the inclusion of the Bass strings and the 5th string. I can't tell with this video, but Ronnie Browne either has a very unique 7-String Banjo or he has D-Tuners on a 5-String Open-Back.

Yes.
Exactly so.
That gorgeous instrument that Roy is playing is called a Bandurria. I believe it’s Spanish in origin. It has been beautifully adopted into Scottish music along with the mandolin.
Very difficult to play and normally strummed with chords, rather than used like a mandolin on steroids. In Roy's hands with what I suspect may be a different tuning to the straight fourths used in Spain (like a guitar only instead of B and E for the highest two strings, you get C and F) it sounds lovely. When played en masse by 'sabados' (weekend/festival local instrument and vocal groups) it's very different - and almost impossible to get/keep in tune!
The Royal house of Stuart, the faithful clans (not all of them sadly) and the 45', what an epic period in the history of Scotland ...
I'd say just the fact the kids know the lyrics shows they had good parents lol
Oh too true. ^_____^
And they even know how to sing. 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
They are skipping in time to the music, or it looks like it anyway.
Just realized that when I started to sing the chorus and their skipping was part of what was keeping me in time.
