Culloden Battlefield: A silent walk (for respect) past the sad row of Clan Graves

- For those who haven't visited the tragic field of Culloden, this video provides a glimpse of the disastrous results of the ill-fated Highland Charge by Bonnie Prince Charlie's Jacobite troops towards the British Government Army of King George II.
Unlike other battles in the U.K., the dead are still on this bloody field and many Jacobite Clans who fell here, on 16 April 1746, are marked by the sad row of Clan Graves.

My own tears are not nearly enough to make up for this sad outcome.
What hurts the most is how whole clans disappeared from history in just a few hours.
It hurts like it happened yesterday.
The catholic teuchters came looking for a fight and lost.
clans were not wiped out entirely 🤦♂️
It's a moving experience walking past the graves, people still lay flowers on them.
Very Emotional, you can feel the sadness when you stand here. So many of my family Clan names here. Your sacrifice has not been forgotten ❤️
A Forbes. Check the song...battle of harlaw. Forbes led the Aberdeen gentry vs the highlanders
Do you think its funny? this changed scotlands history forever. its unforgivable. You can fuck right off.
@@samantha-janehood5045 Everything that ever happend every massacre, battle, rape and pillage, ect changed someones history. Your ancestors survived long enough to have children who had children which eventualy led to you, Lucky !
@Simon Robson Idk, why do so many black folk demand reparations for slavery? A fact which isn't nearly ridiculed enough. lol I'm not sure what she means by sacrifice, they fought for the house of Stuart to return to the throne. Lost and Bonnie Douche Charlie fled. A direct ancestor of mine fought at Culloden, of which I am proud, but it was a foolish endeavor in the end and lead to a rather ridiculous and unnecessary attempt at eradicating Scottish culture
Maybe don't be a douche yourself, if you have pride for your ancestors, great, if not, don't mock others for appreciation of their fallen ancestors. Major dick move.
It's not just about the Scots losses they were on both sides ! there were lots of other nationalities involved as well
Just visited Culloden Battlefield yesterday.It was emotional even though I am not scottish.
Thank you so much for this very moving video. One day I will get to pay my respects to all those Clans who gave their lives, especially mine - Clan MacLachlan
Thanks for tuning in and yes, its a very emotive place...
I'm going to get to go this year. And tis nae often I find another MacLachlan in the youtube comments. Fortis et Fidus! Our clansmen were Strong and Faithful to their clan and country, were they not? Life or Death, as the battle cry goes. Unfortunately, my ancestor came over in 1650, so I did not have any family at Culloden to my knowledge.
Thank you for this touching video. I visited Culloden 25 years ago. I could remember the solemn, reverent feeling. You helped remember the details. Thank you!
You are very welcome...its a very emotive place...stay tuned for more uploads... :)
So very sad,knowing so many men lie beneath this sacred ground.Tears in my eyes.
It's sad, no one every really wins in war, deaths on both sides, remember them all.
Indeed...so true!
So true. Still, there are things very much worth fighting for.
the kings or politicians that send men to die do win, materially.
War doesn't show who is wrong or right it. Only shows. who is left
You won, because you are here today in the now. If not for their sacrifice, you may not exist at all. If I could go to Culloden, as a MacKenzie, I would sit at my stone and share a wee dram with them, for that is the ultimate insult to the English; that they did not exterminate our seed.
Very nicely done, respectful & peaceful. Beautiful land & sky.
Thank you! Appreciate you tuning in and watch for more uploads linked to the Jacobite Risings, coming soon!
A tragic and inevitable end to Charles Edwards Stuarts bid for the throne of England. This was Scotlands civil war. Most of the Highlanders in the Jacobite army were tenant farmers forced into service by their Clan chiefs ,the last feudal army in Britain. They were fighting , not for their country , but for an ambitious political adventurer intent on regaining the English throne by using the Scottish Catholics to gain a foothold, and hoping for a general uprising, which failed to materialize. More Scots fought against the Jacobites than for them, not only the Protestant Clans, but a good portion of the government army were Scotmen. So much romantic nonsense is written about the Jacobites and " Bonny" prince Charlie ! After the battle he ran away, back to France and eventually died an alcoholic ,in Rome
Fascinating. Gotta wonder why they needed Charlie at all.
A lot of sad thruths in your comment . 😢
“Bonnie price” Charlie was a coward 3000 men made it to the rendezvous at Ruthven barracks after the battle intent on fighting on only to be told “every man seek his own safety in the best way he can".
He then fucked off to France
When France wanted to support he claim some years later he shat it and refused
It should be remembered that there were more Scots in Cumberlands army than in Charles forces. In many ways this was aScottish civil war. The Scots of the lowlands wanted an end to the clan system. They wanted an end to to the clans raids on the South. They wanted to secure their religion. I don’t think Charlie was so bonnie. He was quick to desert them and afterwords never had a kind word to say about them.
I doubt the lowlanders cared about the clans. However, the idea of an absolutist Stuart monarch was ridiculous and why the Jacobites supported this is mystifying.
Ian Miller the Scots in the English army would have been shot if they refused to fight.
Not according to Murray Pittock of Glasgow university, probably Scotland's best contemporary historian and nor was It a civil war. Three of the fourteen Redcoat regiments were Scottish.
@@Sabhail_ar_Alba There were at least 5 Scottish militas present although they were not involved directly in the battle.
Not true. Scots Hanoverians were on very friendly terms with their Jacobite counterparts and knew that few of them were interested in a rising. But the older chiefs had given a personal oath of allegiance to King James II. Knowing that, the Hanoverians pressed Walpole to take action to ensure the chiefs were released from their oaths (as some already had been) but he screwed up and was regarded as a bigger enemy to Scots Hanoverians than the Jacobites by dropping them into a war that could have been avoided. One thing that has never been known and which I recently stumbled on by accident was that some prominent Jacobites had altered their wills to appoint their Hanoverian friends as executors. The Hanoverian Lord Loudoun accepted the surrender of weapons by my Jacobite family after Culloden and pleaded with his superiors to be merciful as my people had been forced "out" in the '45. He knew this was not true, but he was just trying to pour oil on troubled waters. My 4x great grandfather was a young boy on that occasion and some 30 years later, as an officer in the Scots Guards, when he was killed in the American War of Independence, it was his commanding officer, the same Lord Loudoun, who was first to put his hand in his pocket for the widow's pension
Sad yet moving. Many of my ancestors here.
Mac an Tòisich
James McIntosh was my father's name.
I visited there in Sept 2019 and it was cold and a nasty rain. To think that the Jacobites were hungry, tired from the failed night march the night before, demoralised with knowing that many had gone AWOL and then to see the smaller yet more powerful force ahead of them must have been terrible. About the graves, many of the fallen were just left where they lay and 'dumped' into mass graves. Actual graves are non-existent. What they have done to the battlefield today is incredibly respectful and chillingly terrible at the same time. A worthwhile visit if your in the area.
Wonderful video!
Thanks for tuning in...yes, its a very emotive place with a heavy atmosphere...especially in the rain... :(
I’m from Germany and have visited the site four times already. Always very emotional feelings. One can sense the terrible things that happened there. Beautiful video
Thanks for your comments...we've been to Culloden thousands of times over the years and you can always feel the weight of history there...
Have you been to Clava Cairns, Prisoner Stone in Culloden Woods or by Culloden House. By Culloden House & the Barn Church they had Culloden Stables there but knocked down in the late 80s for posh homes. By Culloden Academy they had an open entrance to Charlie's Cave which the school got the council to cover up. Fine memories from my childhood growing up there in the wilderness.
Our love to Germany . love from Scotland
By The Grace of God The Hanoverians took The Throne rather than self serving Prince Charlie. The Scots were mad to the bone to have given that selfish dandy so much sacrifice.
Beautifully done! You have managed to capture the emotions experienced when there in person.
Thank you so much for your comment, very much appreciated and look forward to bringing you more! Stay tuned...
I visited with my dad a long time ago. Clan MacFie, right flank.
Thanks for doing this and doing it in such a nice , slow, respectful way. From an Australian with Scottish / Cameron blood. Good onya
Thank you for your lovely comments and appreciate you tuning in! All the best from the Northern Hemisphere! :)
Stewart and Cameron's alway close alies mate all the best from Inverness Scottish Highlands ma lad
I'm getting the same kinda feel watching this that I got when I went to Gettysburg...
Loads of folks say that to me when I take them on the field...
Beautifully filmed. I visited Culloden battlefield and it was so very moving. The feeling of loss was palpable.
Thanks so much for your lovely comments and I am fortunate to visit Culloden several times a month...always feel the weight of history bearing down as you traverse the field. Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to post a comment. Have a great day! :)
Whether you agree with what the battle stood for or not, many a brave man died on that sad sad day. God grant them peace.
We were there in June 2017 and found it to be terribly sad. It was very reminiscent of Port Arthur in Tasmania, Australia, Full of ghosts.
Yes, its always a very emotive place and the atmosphere of the past is very palpable indeed. Thanks for your post and have a lovely day! :)
Many ill informed people think that Culloden was a battle between the Scottish and the English, it certainly was not. The conflict was between those who were loyal to the Protestant King of the United Kingdom, i.e Scotland and England and those who wanted the Catholic James as King. Fighting for the Government were The English, Welsh and Scottish, including several Scottish clans.
The Jacobites (meaning the supporters of the Catholic Stewart claim to the throat of the United Kingdom were some Scottish clans, plus English, Irish, Welsh and French Catholics.
The Battle was therefore not, as is wrongly claimed by Scottish Nationalists between The Scottish and the English but between Catholic Jacobites and Protestants Loyalists.
Such an important distinction!
Incredibly moving and sad. Thanks for filming
Thanks for tuning in... :)
They were brave men. they loved their country more than their lives. Much and much respect for them. Scotland should be proud.
Very proud of the Government Scots who fought that day for their country.
Rick dudly shame
why Kenya the jacobites were fighting to put their own king on the throne not freedom
+FireCrackerJim and for that to happen they needed freedom
Kenya__Cameroon77 so its okay for the minority of scots to rebel while the majority didnt support it lol where you from clown i bet you are a yank
Deeply moved ... thank you.
Thanks so much for tuning in! :)
Spooky. I was born exactly to the day 251 years after this battle.
Along with millions of other people nothing spooky about it
My GreatGrandmother was a Fraser. My ancestors fought and died here. So sad.
Well done! That was very moving - thank you.
Thank you too!
They weren't all clansmen, there were lowlanders, irish, french, spanish even some english (the Manchester regiment). At the time they didn't have a clan tartan (that was a Victorian invention) so they couldnt be identified by clan. It was just mass graves and when one was full they dug another. As for the government side they had clans, the Grants, the Munroes, Campbell's and four regiments were scottish. It wasnt even called culloden. It was called Drumossie Moor. Cullodin is the modern name. They tell you about the barbarity of the government soldiers but don't tell you that at the battle of Falkirk the jacobites cut the throats of the government prisoners and wounded. The romantic version has drowned out the gruesome facts of reality.
Well said. Nor is the brutal clan system ever mentioned, many so-called 'jacobites' were forced to fight by their landlords - they were certainly not all willing volunteers.
@@mr31337 - The case in practically every army in Europe at the time.
Alistair2348 funny how a portrait of the chief of Clan Grant exists from around 1688 in full Clan Grant tartan.
The clansmen were identified by their kith and kin.. 3 of the 14 regiments fighting for Cumberland were Scots the Kingston regiment of Nottingham carried out terrible atrocities in the battlefield. Thousands of innocent Highlanders were indiscriminately slaughtered by Cumberlands 'death squads' - men, women and children randomly slaughtered on the Inverness road. Cumberland gave the 'no quarter' command.
@@jimwands so they're full of shit, then? If so where is that info coming from? Tv?
Beautifully done, thank you for this video.
Thank you too!
Nice walk thru, thanks for posting.
Just discovered this,I've always wanted to see the site of Culloden. Very nicely done,It made me really emotional,I would love to go there and see it.Thanks again.
Thanks so much for your lovely comments and welcome to our Channel! We've uploaded a few other Culloden related videos too! :)
Visiting there in August of 2018, I was stricken by how similarly it felt to visiting Gettysburg and Pearl Harbor...absolutely quiet and haunted...an incredible experience, each one...thanks for this wonderful return visit!🙏🌹🏴
Thank you for this tender thoughtful video.☮️🇨🇦
Our pleasure!
Very well filmed, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for tuning in! :)
I've been to Culloden twice, once on a sunny day and once on a dull, gloomy one, and it was certainly an emotional and sombre experience, although as far as I know none of my ancestors lost their lives there, but the whole atmosphere there even when the sun in shining is, for lack of a better description, oppressive and a bit spooky. I've been through Glencoe a few times and got the same feeling there, even although on the first occasion I was too young to have heard about the massacre.
Yes, they're both very emotive places...thanks for tuning in... :)
I haven't been to Culloden but "oppressive" and "spooky" describe Glencoe perfectly.
Thank you for the lovely video. I may never have the privilege to visit but at least I've seen it❤
Thank YOU for watching! so lovely to hear your comments and stay tuned for more uploads coming soon! :)
Visited August 2019. Ancestors (7th great-grandfather and his three sons) died here fighting with the Stewart of Appin Clan. Moved to tears, not only for them but for all who died.
I was there in 2010. Thank you for putting this up
Wow!! There are not enough words!
I was there a couple of years ago, it's a silent place, nobody said a word
Lost ancestors there. Strange series of events occurred along with a wee bit of poor leadership on our side. Sad but true.
Very moving video ,hope to come and pay my respects to these people who didn't die in vain ,glad there is a ceremony here every year ,thanks for sharing ,
And like most battlefields, there are the residual ghosts of those
that fought and died there...Another example, Gettysburg...
Very true.
Thank you for this.
My pleasure!
I'm no expert but it seems that Bonnie Prince Charlie just used them.
They were clansmen so basically they were serfs of their chief to be used at his will.
It doesn't need to be expert for that. He really used them. This is my thought. Whoever create a war is an enemy to him/herself.
You are absolutely right, he did use them. When he first landed, he was told to "go home". Sadly he did not.
War was getting modern, bravery counted for little against canister rounds and Welch archers too..
The Clansmen had to follow their"chief" or whatever. Pawns. Personal property. No choice really, and despite the sacrifice they were turfed out in the Highland Clearances. I have heard it said that losing Culloden was good long term for Scotland. Anyway, Charles Stuart was an idiot.
CUĹLODEN HAS NOT BEEN FORGOTTEN!!!!WE FEEL GREAT RESPECT TO LIONHEAT, BRAVE,HONEST MARVELLOUS PEOPLE OF SCOTTLAND!!LOVE YOU!!!REGARDS, FROM TURKEY,ISTANBUL....
Learning so much 'cause of Outlander.
Scotland's loss was North America's gain as the children of the defeated embarked on ships and sailed West to found a new civilization.
Thank you for the Video. I'm researching my ancestors (HOGUE) I hope to visit someday.
I think my ancestors fought here, Graham of Montrose. Our family doesn't talk much about our ancestors, be nice to know about them.
I don't wanna ruin the environment but I had to say it.
My history was pretty weak, I don't even know if battle of Culloden was in my course or not but Outlander, the series took me here.
I was there on thursday very informative place lots of history
Great 👍
I've walked the route of Pickett's charge at Gettysburg. Must be a similar, haunted feeling.
We've had so many lovely tour guests from America say the same to us...thanks for tuning in and have a lovely day! :)
powerful video ♥️
+vanessa stmv Thank you, it’s a very emotional place and the history weighs down on you...
At Culloden, we had ancestors on both sides of the battlefield. Those who stood with Lachlan and the Jacobite cause . And those who served under Argyll and the British Crown. A sad day, all around. The bitter rift this caused still lingers on, even today.
I walked this path, and cried.
I watched this and i cried i don't know why but i can't help my tears...😭
i have been to the site and it was a strange experience indeed
You may find that the Clan markers are just for show mate....do you really think the Butcher would spend the time sorting them out for burial?...i think not....the battleline is still under a lot of conjecture....this field needs real archaeology
The dream of freedom is not dead, ‘‘tis merely dormant.
What did the field look like at the time? Was it overgrown as seen here or clearer?
Totally wide open with no cover (save for some stone walls) or vegetation at all...there's currently a process to cut back some of the bushes, etc to show visitors what it looked like on the day. Thanks for tuning in...
@@OutlandishJourneys Do you think any of the walls are still there? It was quite long ago but I wouldn't be surprised
Yes, there are still traces of the walls and outlines...if you check out our other Culloden videos you’ll see more of the field and surrounds...
Poor dear men, how did they think they could win? War is always hell, isn't it?
carolyn haney Most of them wouldn't know that. Are you a descendant of a clan? I am a descendant of the Fraser clan
They are not poor. they become legends and that is more than enough.:)

A sad haunted place very much like Verdun.
moving footage. Is there any possibility you would allow us to use some of this in a music video - it has a bit of an outlander theme and a Scottish history influence. Would be happy to email you with more information and to fully credit. Best wishes.
The ground was actually not the best place to have a battle. Would have been better if the Prince's army had fought them in the Highlands, where the Highland charge could have possibly averted a cannonade. Much like Killiecrankie. In addition, his men were hungry, and starved for sleep, after having marched all night to try and catch the redcoats asleep. But by the time they reached the redcoats, there were already awake and stirring. So, that plan was shot. This battle should have never taken place, not at Culloden. The Prince was not a General, and I have read where one of his most trusted Officers, was actually a spy for the English King. Hungry, and tired men, do not fare well in times of war. But, the question is, was the Prince counseled into attacking at Culloden, or was this his plan and his plan alone? Those who bare my surname sleep below the Carin bearing their Clan of Affiliation, Stewart of Appin. And I suppose in the aftermath, those who were not sent to America, or Australia, were later to leave in the wake of the Clearances. We have excelled outside of Scotland's borders, not because we necessarily desired to leave, but because of the blood that flows within our veins...as they say, the blood is strong...
All hats off
Has there been an xray done of the burials?
So so sad for these men and boys.
Yes, modern geophysics surveys have been completed, but the dead will be left in peace, so no excavations...thanks for tuning in! :)
They died for king and country. They believed they could win somehow because they wanted a Catholic Scottish king on the throne. They wanted it so bad that they gave their lives and their all. These men were the bravest of all. R.I.P ye brave warriors. You gave your all now you rest ye now.
amen,SOAR ALBA
Christine his problem was that Scotland was Presbyterian by the time Charlie wanted to be in charge , and the Scots sure as hell were not going to put up with a Catholic on the throne. a wee bit of truth does one no harm .
Christine Only a very few wanted a Catholic on the Throne
@Simon Robson Yes he was a bum but what does that tell you about the chiefs
@Simon Robson You will never change it. Look at what is happening now. America whistles and everyone comes a running
Bonnie Prince Charles used them, abused their loyalty and then left them!
You can almost feel the ghosts sadly watching you
The atmosphere is always heavy there, no matter the weather... :(
Sehr interessant 👍
Thanks for tuning in! :)
The fact of the matter is it was Scottish civil war, between scots wanting to be 8n the union and those who wanted to go back to the past

@@johnmudd6453 So true...for them to allow him to give the go on a location in the open that gave only the greatest advantage to the blokes that had superior fire power...had they insisted on a forested location it would probably have been and entire different situation

"For King and Country" descendant: Clan Cameron, Clan McGregor "despite them", and.... STEWART my son Elijah Merlin David and I will visit this summer
I am glad to be descended from McGregor "despite them". I have always loved that stubbornly triumphant epithet. I wish you a wonderful vacation.
@@anselman3156 I always thought of myself as more a Cameron, but have a certain usual 'look' and had a fiery temper since a child....then I realized, McGregor (like Conor I'm a 1st degree Blackbelt and a 'Warrior')....I'm very similar to the late Diana, very. You are most certainly from the noble 'Men of the Mist', because you are kind and a gentleman.... I'll bet you 'see through' people.... what I'm working on now, is how to 'see' myself...and then there's the strangest thing of all.... our Kin. I wondered often why we have a few Clans over and over in our lineage (Cameron, Stewart, Campbell, MacKenzie) and lucky we don't have 5 legs and 8 eyeballs! But, after marrying my late husband (3 lines of McGregor and maternally Jewish), that we are 'Tribal' and seem to be peculiar unless we marry into our lines....I love being alone, which causes endless issues as many men want to date me and I really don't want to.... I just love to be 'alone' and few understand this.... it must be from the endless land to wander and the solitary beaches in the mist.... I already know you understand- Kin
@@katherinesage You are an excellent mix. Yes, I love the "children of the mist" title, with its suggestion of elusiveness, evading threats etc., and also just the natural beauty of the thing. As a rather solitary person myself, I fully understand the love of solitude. I have been rather overly inclined towards that, and have to push myself at times to socialize. One thing I do is folk singing in a local club (Scottish and Irish songs I can sing unaccompanied largely), and a sharing my poetry in a writers group and open mic. Yes, you guessed it, I celebrate nature and reflect on solitude and enduring values, love, family and spiritual things. My maternal great grandfather wrote poems in the Scots dialect, and I guess I have inherited his poetic mantle ('though not so adept at Scots). Like you, I give attention to understanding myself, and to pondering the fact of being the result of generations of love and nobility, however humble and arduous the life circumstances. By God's providence we've come into existence, unique individuals, but carrying the heritage of our dear forebears. I honor them. Nice to have made your acquaintance, kin. God bless you and yours.
@@anselman3156 be free to 'friend' me on Facebook, I am connected to Clan Cameron and M(a)cGregor there as well. Our Clans are Dalriadic and ancient.... to Kenneth MacAlpin the first King of Scotland and the men crowned at Scone. You would love to read the Kindle "Children of the Mist - the story of the Scottish Highlanders". I love the Isle of Skye and hope to visit this late summer as there is yet another Clan Gathering. Both of my Grandparents came over from Scotland. I am Kin to Rob Roy and my late husband to the White branch that swam out of a lake after getting tossed out by the Stewart King (whom I'm also related to). I, as crazy as it seems, do believe in the faerie realm and love poetry and gardening.... I love reading and songs too... there is little doubt it is in our blood all the way back to a Sheppard boy who was a singer of songs, a warrior and loved to write psalms....
@@katherinesage Thanks for the invitation. I haven't got into the facebook thing yet and not so tech savvy or connected. CZcams is my only venture in this realm, and I've not made much use of it except for such comments as these. I will look into things further. Our family lore was that we were related to Rob Roy, and made visits to his grave at Balquhidder church. Whether by blood or not, I do feel connected to the psalmist shepherd. His words have often become my own. I will check out the book (I am not even on Kindle yet-Mr Technophobe likes the feel of pigment stained woodpulp and turning pages. Smells nicer too, how sensual!). I have enjoyed a couple of visits to Skye and have some treasured photo prints of walks there, including (mist(!) shrouded Old Man of Storr). "Speak" to you later.

WhatWeeSeekSeeksUs)0(
So much rubbish is stated about this event. It was not a fight between Scotland and England. The Jacobites were not fighting for Scottish independence they were rebels fighting the British state of which Scotland was a part. There were more Scots on the government side than on the Jacobite, prince Charles intended to take the throne of Britain in London and reintroduce catholicism. The massacre that followed was the result of the appalling incompetence, stupidity and arrogance of Charles and the man he put in charge. Charles on seeing things were not going well, then decided to ride off with the money.
Not according to Murray Pittock Scotland's best contemporary historian - he's written a book explaining why. Most clansmen weren't even catholic - old Locheil and Cameron's were protestants - but the post battle atrocities committed mainly by the Kingston Regiment of Nottingham were brutal and have been recorded. Hundreds of wounded slain in the post battle bloodbath, hundreds of women and children murdered on the Inverness road, thousands sent to Carlisle for imprisonment, deportation or execution..
@@Sabhail_ar_Alba are there any good videos on this matter you would recommend?
all conveniently forgotten ,and yes the leadership was incompetent but that does not excuse the aftermath of attemted genocide ,as to the comment from me campbell ,what else would you expect from a cam beuill or wry mouth whose ancestors consistentley sold scotland out for english gold
Look up in the sky at 1:51 it looks like a man in highland dress with a hat on .
What a tremendous imagination ,
They invaded another country how did they think it would end.?

Fortis et Fidus
I found a grave for a murtagh fraser. creepy
😱
Eerie
Even Eerier when you realise that birdsong is never heard at Culloden
great video spoiled by the music
The plaque says the Jacobites fought for Scotland
Not true. The Jacobites were unionists who's aim was taking the throne in London and ruling the UK
And Charlie died an old man in his bed.
Subject nation for a reason.
Very moving. I think it.s about time Scotland built an appropriate tribe to all clans involved. Also, I hope the flag in the background is not a Union Jack.
.
Scotland should also memorialize the brave government Scots who defeated Charlie. After all, move Scots fought against Charlie than for him.
I take it you are English & a Royalist & have not a clue RE: Scottish history.
rena mcleod probably just another no voting traitor that guy. All the best from Glasgow Rena 💙
Rick are you on a mad one? “More Scots fought against Charlie than for”
actually they did I wager most of you here are fakes from . america
I thought this was supposed to be a silent walk, so why ruin it with that bloody awful music?
If only they had won... poor scottish highlanders
