When a Scot who supported the Jacobite cause was asked to toast the king in a public place, he would make sure that he had a glass of water on the table over which he would raise his real drink. By doing this he was in effect toasting the king "o'er the water" (the one in exile) instead of the one actually on the throne. That way, he could not be charged with making a treasonous statement. For you Scottish rebels, I also recommend Connie Dover's version of Lady Keith's Lament, which contains a lot of history and social implications. (The Whigs detested the Jacobites). "Jacobite" originally meant supporter of James ("Jacobite" comes from "Iacobus" which is Latin for both James and Jacob). Bonnie Prince Charlie's grandfather was King James II of England who was overthrown in 1688 and was finally defeated by his own son-in-law, the Dutchman William of Orange in Ireland in 1690 (Battle of the Boyne). Interestingly, before James II became King, he was the Duke of Albany and York, in whose honor New York is named (as well as New York's capital, Albany). The colony's name was renamed from New Amsterdam, after the British defeated the Dutch during the reign of his brother, King Chales II.
+Paul PaulC he was a Catholic, the first Catholic monarch since Bloody Mary. The general public hated him for it and his army refused to serve him when William invaded
+Luke Koziol Tory politicians and lords who believed in the concepts of divine right and absolute monarchy refused to accept the situation. William III was James's son-in-law. He was married to his daughter. Primogeniture dictated that this was unacceptable, as the daughter (Mary II) should be sole ruler, having inherited the crown from her father. The presence of the foreign William on the throne, at a time when Dutchmen were viewed with general dislike in Britain, led to Tory lords supporting James's claim.On the other hand, Whigs hated James for his Catholicism and supported William's claim. Later, they would support the occupation of the throne by the Hanoverians.
It wasn't at the Boyne that James was defeated. The Boyne could have been won by James if he hadn't pulled out, it is believed. The Irish Jacobite's were finally crushed in their homeland following the Battle of Aughrim in 1691, where they lost 7000 men, compared to the Williamite casualties of 500, as the commander didn't share his battle plans with anyone else, and then had his head blown off by a cannonball. This was followed by the treaty of Limerick and the departure of the Irish Jacobite army, following James into exile, where they served in France, wearing long skirted red coats, as they saw themselves as the rightful British army. They joined every Jacobite rising, including the famous '45, where, on Drummossie moor, they held the sunken road and enabled the MacDonald's to escape by holding off the enemy cavalry. They were disbanded following the French Revolution. Would be interesting to see what the world would be like if the Jacobite's held onto the throne...

I let you use my music Dude, but represent my name please! Regards, Arany Zoltán
I'm an old man, Scottish by birth, and proud of my countries heritage. I live the last of my life here in Cordoba Argentina with my Latina wife Susana. When Susie tells people I'm introduced to, John's from Scotland, I'm very welcomed by all, I feel very blessed. Aye Scotland, all us Scots adore you. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm from india, but i love Scotland and for 3 years, during my college life, i had set mobile ringtone of Bagpipes. I just love it. Right now i have set music of Outlander tv series.
@@jarlnils435 As long as you understand it is historical garbage. I mean a "history Professor" pointing to an outcrop of rocks in Scotland and describing how the "British Army" used to ambush Highlanders there in the 17th century. If you don't know ridiculous and ahistoric that is, you need to read more 🙂
a scot here i have had amazing dreams of india and hindu deitys?, no idea why they pop in my sleep time to time. hope i can see india awake one day, i hope you make it to scotland one day. the outlander song you love, the words have been changed for the tv show . the original words are a scottish rebel lullaby song. the skye boat song. the skye boat song is still sang in original words to this day as a way to sing our children to sleep. but the history behind it is hidden. the song speaks of the man who was born to be king of scotland ( lost the battle} but dressed as a woman to retreat to the isle of skye in scotland in a little boat, to escape the enemy to try think of how to win again. the battle of culloden happened after , it was a complicated battle ,between many nations and their politacal and religeous beliefs, not scotland against england. the last battle fought on uk soil. and the jacobites lost. empire of the world was not far behind that loss
@@ronnicholson153 Cause there's still loads of people who will happily fight some ancient dumb mad fight about who is the rightful king. That's what this song is about in a time when there were several uprisings which all got crushed and killed and maimed loads of people achieving nothing. And still prince Charlie went and still some Scots followed and died hopelessly and painfully. Most of which were forced to follow due to serfdom clan system.
@@ronnicholson153 I think what he meant is that this song is an Anti-Jacobite song, but still many people seem to be thinking that this is a Pro-Jacobite song. And it frightens him that so many people don't seem to understand this fact. Correct me if I'm wrong. As for the song: I'm not taking any sides and I didn't even listen to the lyrics (I did read them afterwards of course), but the song itself sounds nice. Maybe a lil' bit too modern rendition for my liking but good nontheless.
I love this version of the famous song (with Burang drumm)... at this point I dont really mind weather it is pro or contra the Jacobites :-) It just makes me so sad that it is cut before the end. Does anybody have a full version or maby know where I could buy it?!
You have no idea of how much I miss Scotland. I'm 19, Italian, and I've been there two summers (no, not just the turists' areas). Can't wait for August.. I'll come back there ♥
Charles Stuart lived abroad because he would have been kill if he returned to England or Scotland. The Stuart family, originally Stewart from The High Stewart of Scotland, were of Scottish heritage and later English heritage when they intermarried. They were ousted under the guise of tyranny when in reality it was due to being Catholic and they had a perfectly good claim to the English throne.
It should be noted the Highlands were mostly Catholic at this time, so to the average Highlander in Charlie they saw the King who was leaglly the rightful king, a Scottish King opposed to one of German decent, and the King who was ordained by God.

This concerns you too. I wasn't raised Roman Catholic for nothing. Marian Jesuit years were skipped. Dad went to see Our Lady in 1989 LONG before the flashing sun effects were posted on youtube.

@@romanrepublic1356 This is Robert Burns (he was never called Rabbie in his lifetime) version of this litany. It is an anti war sentiment not anti or pro jacobite, the original was anti jacobite and had different lyrics.
I agree with you. I'm a MacDougall from Australia (my grandparents migrated from the highlands). The jacobites achieved nothing but to bring persecution and increased poverty to an already impoverished highlands.
@@kincaidwolf5184 the Highlanders were removed by a Scot first. The Plantations to Ireland a Scot king and then the Clearances by the Clan Chiefs who could make more money with sheep than people Not the English at all and be careful about insulting the Lowlanders The Armstrongs the Elliots The Littles the Hepburns the Grahams the Scots Dougla, Kerr all great names in Scots history all lowlanders And it was a highlander James II that murdered the Black Douglas heirs at a dinner. yES GREAT PEOPLE TO BE PROUD OF THOSE sTEWERTS
A big part of being a 'Jacobite' was wanting to anull the 1707 'Act of Union'. Charles Edward Stewart did this in November 1745 in Holyrood Edinburgh as part of the process of reversing what the Hanovarians had done to Great Britain and Ireland.
In 1707 when the Scottish Parliament passed their Act of Union (after the English Act in 1706) Queen Anne was monarch. She was a Stuart. The First Hanoverian monarch in Britain was George I whose reign started in 1714. He was brought in as a constitutional monarch, more figurehead than ruler and certainly not ruler by divine right as James the pretender wished. So, no, the Hanoverians did not enact the Act of Union, and the fact of the Union was not within their power anyway since Parliament had reasserted itself and they were constitutional monarchs.
James II and his progeny were no good. James II was arrogant, thick and cowardly and his line were drunkards. They would not have been good rulers. Scotland suffered terribly for supporting them.
The Stuarts were a useless bunch. James II was arrogant, thick and cowardly, and his line were drunkards, maybe because of their failure to succeed but they would not have been good rulers.
+Sky Capitan It was said to have been written by a Jacobite soldier condemned to death. He would take the "low road" and his soul would return to Scotland before his friends who had been set free and took the "high road".
Eammon Wright I wasn’t meaning to come across as snide, I was trying to open up the conversation, as it had already been established Burns wrote the song....My apologies if it was misconstrued as snidey.
The one and only Kenny Everett i was always taught that it was written by burns, and intended to be against the jacobites, although they took and used the song so it alligns more for. But shrug
I'm an American and I do understand the Scots desire for independance. My question is this. Was the Jacobite cause not for independance from England, but instead to put a Stuart (Prince Charlie) on the throne of Great Britain? I stand to be corrected, but that is my understanding. Thank you.
@@kincaidwolf5184 I listened to one of the Radio 4 "In our time" programmes where they were discussing the Highland clearances, what really happened and towards the end the discussed the role of the imagined history; especially in the US. A couple the academics had worked in the past doing genealogies for Americans and said that they were all convinced of a "romantic" connexion to the clearances and the highlands. One even refused to pay when it was discovered that their family actually came from Motherwell :-D I find the ethno-nationalist stuff unhelpful in understanding the history and culture of Britain.
Why do you like the country, whish forced your ancestors to leave it? Scotland cannot have been the sacred, lovable palce to be, if your ancestors had to go (same goes for Ireland)!
Never heard of the Highland Clearences? The entire Scottish Clan-Culture was cast out, the people were forced by the Lords in order to use their land for their sheep! So the people were forced to leave, you idiot!
sirerot: And how many times did France leave Scotland holding the Bag. Bloody hell we were lured into fighting the English by the French and they failed to turn up. They had weather problems escargot problems frogs legs problems
I'm Welsh and an Unionist. But I also have a bit of rebel in me while dealing with English incomers into my native land. "Oh I don't speak Welsh sorry....." its OK....I have to speak English when I'm over in your country too......"😂
This song was written in the 18th century, so singing/recreating the song is absolutely no problem. So far as this rendition goes you would have to figure out who sang it and figure that part out yourself.
+Irishmankillen666 ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!! Just before the final decision, David Cameron went on a tour of Scotland and miraculously, the No voters got the upper hand! There was definitely cloak and dagger shit going on.
I have always loved the song but its always been a bit painful for me to listen to as my family is from the Macdonald and the Fraser clans who were exiled to Canada or the US. I just found out I am a cousin of the Royal Stuarts and am sad that so many clans had to die out in an war that did not have to occur.

@James Ulery One’s expression of familial pride and the context of the song are two different things... I believe JBC was expressing pride, not mistaking the song as pro-Jacobite. It seems his English isn’t strong, so calm down!
@Injektilo7 I think the other thing to remember about Burns is that he wrote in character. So he wrote this song from basically an anti-Jacobite view but equally he wrote more from a pro-Jacobite view. Sometimes a song is just a song and needn't be taken as someone's actual strong views. Likewise you are right in that many of the Jacobite songs were written from a later romanticised viewpoint by people who were staunchly loyal to the Hanovarian monarchs. I'm thinking in particular of the

A jacobite is anyone (can be English scottish or wales ) who fought to put the Houe of Stewart (along with Catholicism) onto the throne of Great Britian . They against against the Scot and English who were loyal to the government and to the hanoverian kings

Ich hab bisher immer noch nicht verstanden, worum es bei dem Lied geht. Erst kannte ich das Lied durch "Tri Yann" und dachte, es hätte was mit den franz. Jakobinern zu tun, bis ich dann begriff, dass es ein schottisches Lied ist. Aber was bedeutet es?

Confusing Jacobites with Jacobins? Heresy.

To Preston then they came, brave Gard'ner murd'red then.
A Traitor did command, as we doubt.
To England then they went, as bold, as bold,
To England then they went, as bold;
To England then they went, and Carlisle they ta'en't,
The Crown they fain would ha'en't, but behold.
To London as they went, on the Way, on the Way,
To London as they went, on the way,
To London as they went, in a Trap did there present,
No battle they will stent, for to die.
They turned from that Place, and they ran, and they ran,
They turned from that Place, and they ran;
They turned from that Place as the Fox, when Hounds do chace.
They tremble at the Name, CUMBERLAN'.
To Scotland then they came, when they fly, when they fly,
To Scotland then they came, when they fly,
To Scotland then they came, and they robb'd on every Hand,
By Jacobites Command, where they ly.
When Duke William does command, you must go, you must go;
When Duke William does command, you must go;
When Duke William does command, then you must leave the Land,
Your Conscience in your Hand like a Crow.
Tho' Carlisle ye took by the Way, by the Way;
Tho' Carlisle ye took by the Way;
Tho' Carlisle ye took, short Space ye did it Brook,
These Rebels got a Rope on a Day.
The Pope and Prelacy, where they came, where they came,
The Pope and Prelacy, where they came;
The Pope and Prelacy, they rul'd with Cruelty,
They ought to hing on high for the same.

You love civil war?

This concerns you too. I wasn't raised Roman Catholic for nothing. Marian Jesuit years were skipped. Dad went to see Our Lady in 1989 LONG before the flashing sun effects were posted on youtube. I also saw a video with a startling image of Our Lady holding baby Jesus. I don't believe in atheists. My heritage is my history.

You guys realise this song is ANTI-Jacobite, right?
its not anti-jacobite
David Kruger ye jacobites by name, your faults I will proclaim, your doctrines I will blame....that sounds pretty anti jacobite to me
David Kruger
It's anti-Jacobite as fuck.
Did you even read the lyrics? Or listen to it?
Okey okey, plz dont beat me
It was written as anti Jacobite, but the Jacobite sympathizers adopted it to spite the anti Jacobite crowd. Owned it to piss them off.
I just want to recommend now, Magnus Magnussons "Scotland, The Story of a Nation," no doubt people can learn the histories of Scotland through its pages. (and will see why Scotland was separate and probably should be separate today.)
I'm english and i love this. I'm also off my head.

It's an anti jacobite song so it makes sense you like it.
@@romanrepublic1356 This is Robert Burns (he was never called Rabbie in his lifetime) version of this litany. It is an anti war sentiment not anti or pro jacobite, the original was anti jacobite and had different lyrics.

I agree with you. I'm a MacDougall from Australia (my grandparents migrated from the highlands). The jacobites achieved nothing but to bring persecution and increased poverty to an already impoverished highlands.
To be fair Charles Edward Stuart was rightful to the throne I don't like royalty much it has divided scots through class and religion

A big part of being a 'Jacobite' was wanting to anull the 1707 'Act of Union'. Charles Edward Stewart did this in November 1745 in Holyrood Edinburgh as part of the process of reversing what the Hanovarians had done to Great Britain and Ireland.
In 1707 when the Scottish Parliament passed their Act of Union (after the English Act in 1706) Queen Anne was monarch. She was a Stuart.
The First Hanoverian monarch in Britain was George I whose reign started in 1714. He was brought in as a constitutional monarch, more figurehead than ruler and certainly not ruler by divine right as James the pretender wished.
So, no, the Hanoverians did not enact the Act of Union, and the fact of the Union was not within their power anyway since Parliament had reasserted itself and they were constitutional monarchs.
Irish by heritage but I praise God for all people of Irish, Scottish, any Celtic culture.
Justin Williams What part of Ireland?
Holy fuck I’ve been trying to remember the name of this song for years. I’m so glad I found it
Ye "Williamites" by Name!..Ya damn scallywags! Up The Jacobites!! On To Victory!!
James II and his progeny were no good. James II was arrogant, thick and cowardly and his line were drunkards. They would not have been good rulers. Scotland suffered terribly for supporting them.
I have two great Grandfathers that were Jacobite rebels.
One of them sent to America in 1715 sold into the slave trade at 12 years of age.
good to know
I also am American by birth but can trace my lineage back to James Stewart IV King of Scots. I am a 16th great grand daughter and am PROUD to say so!
A Great song by Brother Burns;) Always been a favourite of mine.👍
Absolut Klasse
celta música fantastica molt melòdica.
To the true King over the water!
he was the true king, but was catholic, and so couldn't rule england
This is an anti jacobite song.
The Stuarts were a useless bunch. James II was arrogant, thick and cowardly, and his line were drunkards, maybe because of their failure to succeed but they would not have been good rulers.

I've heard the anti-Jacobite version, but out of curiosity what are some pro-Jacobite songs? are there pro-Jacobite versions of this? Very curious.
Loch Lomond is pro-Jacobite?

It was said to have been written by a Jacobite soldier condemned to death. He would take the "low road" and his soul would return to Scotland before his friends who had been set free and took the "high road".
burns is slaughtering the jacobites in this song... wow there are a lot of people on here who don’t have a clue about Scottish history 😆
C Lonie yes! And your point is?
Eammon Wright I wasn’t meaning to come across as snide, I was trying to open up the conversation, as it had already been established Burns wrote the song....My apologies if it was misconstrued as snidey.
The one and only Kenny Everett i was always taught that it was written by burns, and intended to be against the jacobites, although they took and used the song so it alligns more for. But shrug
Echo Mun aligns more with the Jacobite movement?
Echo Mun to be honest I’m struggling to understand your point in whole....
I remember this on Scottish Music Hall years ago...
Please recognize the musician, Arany Zoltán.
I'm an American and I do understand the Scots desire for independance. My question is this. Was the Jacobite cause not for independance from England, but instead to put a Stuart (Prince Charlie) on the throne of Great Britain? I stand to be corrected, but that is my understanding. Thank you.
Hasty and brash was young Charles, but he gave us our hour of everlasting glory!

@@kincaidwolf5184 Especially the ones who think Scotland and Ireland are basically the same people and place.
@@kincaidwolf5184 I listened to one of the Radio 4 "In our time" programmes where they were discussing the Highland clearances, what really happened and towards the end the discussed the role of the imagined history; especially in the US. A couple the academics had worked in the past doing genealogies for Americans and said that they were all convinced of a "romantic" connexion to the clearances and the highlands. One even refused to pay when it was discovered that their family actually came from Motherwell :-D
I find the ethno-nationalist stuff unhelpful in understanding the history and culture of Britain.

Why do you like the country, whish forced your ancestors to leave it? Scotland cannot have been the sacred, lovable palce to be, if your ancestors had to go (same goes for Ireland)!
Jack McMillan A shit ton of Scots and Irish immigrated to the United States.

burns was a strong protestant but a Jacobite through and through. He believed in Scotland not a religion, not an english rule.
My ancestors on both sides had to leave Scotland after the Jacobite rebellion. They came to North Carolina and here we are today.
Lots of Scots, and Ulster Scots (Scots Irish) pioneers settled in the Carolinas..
I know this may be obvious but it sounds a lock like billy Bragg thaterits (I know I can’t spell). Probably the inspiration for the song?

@James Ulery One’s expression of familial pride and the context of the song are two different things... I believe JBC was expressing pride, not mistaking the song as pro-Jacobite. It seems his English isn’t strong, so calm down!

I thought they just called them cunts these days
hut ab der geht gut ab Europe is starting to turn Christian again bout time aswell after the pope called Europe a desert of godlessness
@hut ab der geht gut ab no no we are protestant and this song is about killing Jacobite Catholics
@Injektilo7 I think the other thing to remember about Burns is that he wrote in character. So he wrote this song from basically an anti-Jacobite view but equally he wrote more from a pro-Jacobite view. Sometimes a song is just a song and needn't be taken as someone's actual strong views. Likewise you are right in that many of the Jacobite songs were written from a later romanticised viewpoint by people who were staunchly loyal to the Hanovarian monarchs. I'm thinking in particular of the

What is Jacobite's? Are they Scottish warriors or Scottish people who turned against there own fought for the English.
A jacobite is anyone (can be English scottish or wales ) who fought to put the Houe of Stewart (along with Catholicism) onto the throne of Great Britian . They against against the Scot and English who were loyal to the government and to the hanoverian kings
