Most people don't know, but this poem convinced Prince Charlie to go Scotland. Aeneas Macdonald one of the Seven Men of Moidart, read to him this poem in France alongside with the Song of the Highland Clans to convince him.
I’m Canadian with some Highland Scottish roots. My MacLellan ancestors came from the Island of South Uist, which is “The Land of Clanranald.” After the defeat at Culloden, Prince Charlie fled back to South Uist and was hidden in a cave. That cave is only 5km from where my MacLellan ancestors were living at the time. Mine left for PEI in 1787, and I’ve seen pictures of their ruined houses on Uist. So much history. I understand there are still a few MacLellans on the Island. I long to go back. I say “back” even though I’ve never been there…
Nah it's going back tae yer ancestral homes. Yer family home. Disphoria exists! Saor Alba agus Canada Gu Bràth! 🏴💙🇨🇦 On another note do you speak/or learning Canadian Gaelic?
@@danielledanielle3566 Oh wow that’s awesome. Distant cousin’s perhaps? I’ve bought all the books I could find about South Uist. I have Angus MacLellan’s book of legends and stories. He mentions the MacLellans that went to Canada. I also have the South Uist song book.
I think this song actually took my breath away, I am truly at a loss for words (and air) listening to this for the first time. One of the few time in my life where I think I felt an actual connection to such a powerful song on a spiritual level
What gets me every time is the beginning; awakening in the first light of morning to happy and joyous news of a savior's arrival, while smiling and laughing as the light of day becomes brighter.
@@Jimmy-x6v Yeah, but that was his nickname because of his virtue and because he treated POW with fairness. He was even respected by the Hannoverians and to this day, it is a tradition that whenever the present Lochiel enters on an official visit to Glasgow, the bells of the Tolbooth are rung to commemorate his forebear, the Gentle Lochiel. The current Lochiel is Donald Andrew John Cameron the 28th Lochiel.
The authenticity is already in the lyrics, it is in an older version of Gaelic, easy to tell due to the accent marks not just pointing left but also right.
Very evocative song! I am of Scottish descent, especially Lamonts of Cowal...persecuted mercilessly by pro-government Campbells for their loyalty to the Stuarts...so I have Jacobite genes for sure. In an ironic way it seems to me that Charlie had the last laugh. The cause was lost but as Burns pointed out, it had a lasting effect on Scottish culture, the horrible aftermath of Culloden marked even the English who had supported "Butcher" Cumberland. The Hanoverian Frederick Prince of Wales (who detested his brother) visited Flora Macdonald under house arrest, wore a (now forbidden) tartan waistcoat (!) and apparently had her freed. The only Hanoverian of the time I have any respect for! It's a shame he died before his monstrous father George II.
Yes, Frederick hated his father and his family. Some people think he was rutting for the Prince Charlie to win. That is how bad his relationship with his family was. His mother famously described him has: "the greatest ass and the greatest liar and the greatest canaille and the greatest beast in the whole world". There was no good will between them he hated his family and they hated him.
Just to illustrate how bad the relationship with his family was his own mother, the queen spread rumors about him. One of those was that he was impotent and that She doubted his children were actually his. And when he died George II said i have lost my eldest son, but i am glad.
Since this was a especial day for the Jacobite. Here is what they celebrated this day 236 years ago. On this day 31 of December, in the year 1787. Robert Burns, Lady Nairn, author of 'Will ye no come back again', (whose father had been Prince Charles' aide de camp); James Murray of Abercairney; the Earl and Countess of Seaforth; the Duke of Perth; Oliphant of Gask (whose father had organized Prince Charlie's coronation in the Abbey of Holyrood House in September 1745); Thriepland of Fingask and Stuart, Lord Provost of Edinburgh, etc. Participated in the celebration of Prince Charlie Birthday in Edinburgh, it must be noted, shared the same table and they all stood and drank 'to the King over the water'. And it was also on that same day that Robert Burns wrote his ode Titled: Birthday Ode For 31st December, 1787.
I'm rewatching Outlander for the ... Well, I lost track, but whenever this song plays on the Outlander episode, I'm filled with sadness. How different Scotland would have been if they had won and Bonny Prince Charlie had been placed on the Scottish throne.
I think i overreacted. I started listening to this song, and now im standing on a cliff with my kilt blowing in the wind whilst holding a sword and reciting a Catholic prayer. I dont even have a kilt...or a sword. ...Or a prayer for that matter, Did i mention i'm Chinese? 🇨🇳🗡🤸🏔🏴
Sin sibh! I am a RUclipsr who makes videos in Scottish Gaelic. I wanted to ask if it was okay to use a clip from this video in my next video. During recording for my next episode of Totally Accurate Battle Simulator's "The Challenge" campaign, I ended up failing on one level for the better part of an hour, so my idea is to take the defeat sounds from that and arrange them like the drumbeats from the beginning of this song before fading into the first couple lines of the song itself. I'll be sure to link your channel and this video in the description! Tapadh leibh!
Latha math! I merely translated the song and arranged the visuals. All credit goes to Griogair Labhruidh for performing the song and Bear McCreary for arranging the music. Feel free to use it, though be wary that the music is copyrighted and it may affect your video’s monetisation.

Did Charlie speak Gaelic?
@@olekcholewa8171 No, he was read a english translation. He was learning Gaelic, before the battle of culloden.
@@lucario2188 Did he finish learning while living in France or Italy?
@@olekcholewa8171 No, because the person that was teaching him(The same person that wrote this song) remained in Scotland.
@@lucario2188 A pity. Did he speak Scots then? Or only English?
One Last gambit. One last try to avenge the Usurpation of 1688. God bless those law souls.

Then you'd be up to Charles the Fourth and have more to keep track of on the history test.

Yes! I cant get enough of Jacobite music!
Lochiel was the Chief of the Clan Cameron. He was nicknamed Gentle Lochiel, because of hia virtue.

I was wondering why they went both way lol
Me too. Ah, spellynge reform...
Something I do not know, not being raised in Nova Scotia: the accents don't seem to affect the vowel sounds at all --- are they grammar?
Speaking of Nova Scotia now -- how do you render 'poutine' in Gàidhlig?

Beautiful 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Since this was a especial day for the Jacobite. Here is what they celebrated this day 236 years ago.
On this day 31 of December, in the year 1787.
Robert Burns, Lady Nairn, author of 'Will ye no come back again', (whose father had been Prince Charles' aide de camp); James Murray of Abercairney; the Earl and Countess of Seaforth; the Duke of Perth; Oliphant of Gask (whose father had organized Prince Charlie's coronation in the Abbey of Holyrood House in September 1745); Thriepland of Fingask and Stuart, Lord Provost of Edinburgh, etc.
Participated in the celebration of Prince Charlie Birthday in Edinburgh, it must be noted, shared the same table and they all stood and drank 'to the King over the water'.
And it was also on that same day that Robert Burns wrote his ode Titled: Birthday Ode For 31st December, 1787.

I'm not Catholic but I am a Jacobite G-d save the true king of Cymru, Eire and Alba
Of all the Isles together, they hold blood from the lands of Scotland, England and Wales. And share Ireland's faith. Unite them. Under Clan Stuart
No king of Ireland but Christ, the 32 county socialist Republic will be established
And Pyrdain
