- The Battle of Culloden (Scottish Gaelic: Blàr Chùil Lodair) (16 April 1746) was the final clash between the French-supported Jacobites and the Hanoverian British Government in the 1745 Jacobite Rising. Culloden dealt the Jacobite cause-to restore the House of Stuart to the throne of the Kingdom of Great Britain-a decisive defeat.
The Jacobites, largely Highland Scots, supported the claim of James Francis Edward Stuart (the "Old Pretender") to the throne. The government army, under the Duke of Cumberland, younger son of the Hanoverian sovereign, King George II, supported his father's cause. It too included Highland Scots, as well as Scottish Lowlanders and English troops.
The aftermath of the battle was brutal and earned the victorious general the nickname "Butcher" Cumberland. Charles Edward Stuart eventually left Britain and went to Rome, never to attempt to take the throne again. Civil penalties were severe with new laws that attacked the Highlanders' clan system. Highland dress was now to be restricted to use by the British Army.
Many brave scotts died in the battle fighting for their land and familys ,i would do exactly the same and im sure any human would.
Isla is one of the finest folk singers. please give the world more
What a great voice,she has lilt in her voice just like the Irish,i play it every time i,m feeling down.Compliment from fellow Scot S/J.
Time is not that, what will be shine - next we will be there - and our Tigers with us!
I am not a Scot but tears are running down on my cheeks. So sad, so beautiful, so proud, so melancholic... Thank you Isla Grant.
💙💙💙🍀🍀🍀💙💙💙😥 - I am Romanian, but full of honor for the heroes of Scotland and Ireland. May God bless Ireland Scotland and Romania
For the brave lads who died at the bottle of culloden moor are remembered in song and poetry.
Love Scots! my trip to Glasgow and Edinburgh was the best!!! from A Norwegian Sailor!!!!!!! Go Scots!!!!!!!!!!!
I am an American, but I have always wanted to see my Grandfather's homeland liberated from the English. His stories about a land I probably will never see still linger in my memories.
the men who died in the 45 would probably roll in their graves for what Scotland is today, and they would be ashamed of what she seeks to become.

It is sad to see any country loose all they once stood for. That is true for the U.S. as well. We will never again see the good old days.
threefeathers Colby I kind of think that for all our blustering about how far we have come as a species the day will come when we will fall. The Dark Ages will come again. People will return to their families, which will grow, we will return to the old ways because that is all we will have. Modern Society is a veneer that is so easily cracked.

We all seem to forget that way back in time, there was a reckoning called Sodom and Gamora. Probably misspelled. But I think thing have nearly gotten as bad as they were then. Hope all is well with youl.
threefeathers Colby I don't think we can count on divine intervention in this case. Either mankind will rise to the challenge, we will learn to be free ourselves and let others be, or (more likely) we will continue the endless dance between the tyrants that are in power, and "freedom" fighters that merely wish to be in charge themselves.
@tiree2007 I have studied History for over 50 of my 61 years. I have found that most history written in books is either written by the victors, or by the vanquished justifying their respective causes. A wise old man once told me; "if you want to learn the true history, read the letters written by those who lived it. For they have no axe to grind, just an honest recounting of events as they lived them because those being written to knew the truth".
Long live Independent Scotland!!!!
vote yes
WUNDERSCHÖNE VIDEO UND LIED DANKE MIT GRÜSSEN FÜR DAS LADEN
the saddest thing is it was more of a civil war, with Scots fighting for German George against Scots fighting for the true king. No one I know that have visited Culloden were affected by it and shed a few tears for those gallent Highlanders and thinking of what came after.
lol true king an italian raised in france lol
Alba Gu Brath! Gley Mhath Oran! Scotland Forever, Very Good Song! Scottish and Proud!
one word to describe it BEAUTIFUL. performed by a STAR
Lovely Post! Thank you. Ian.
Danke , ich bin kluger ( Battle of Gulloden ). Sehr schöne Lied.
Remembering these Scottish heroes today, the 16th of April, and praying for their souls. Do present-day Scots, who are still so ambivalent about our country´s independence, deserve such forebears who died for their beliefs?
I had ancestors there, either they or there sons, records aren't clear, to Williamton NC. I cannot imagine that field of battle and the aftermath with Butcher Cumberland's Pacification of the Highlands. Every I hear this song which I love it gives me the cold chills. Alba gu br'ath
I take it you are in America yourself?
Scots Rule!!!!!!!!!!! Norwegians also!!!!!!!!!!!! 1/5 of US are >from Norwegian Heritage§!!!
Yep, and many of those in the Isle are of Norse, decent also.
Its sad so it is,prob some of my ancestors died on the battlefield..none the less i feel a strong connection tae it.
I was born and raised nearby . How can the planning dept. in Hollyrood understand what they are signing over? My Gran always said that money was the root of all evil. How true.
it is so , so sad!!!! All Highlanders died at that battle.....so sad!!!! So proud people!....gone!...
not all ,and certainly not all gone ,just waiting ,tillidh mi
I'm a MhicDhomnuill ( Macdonald) , My folk were there. The memory dies hard , even today .
@junkman19571 its certainly interesting to note that there is so many English people that moved into Scotland for a better life. They are very much welcomed by the majority of Scots. Its so easy to be critical of each others faults, Scotland will no longer be suppressed by Westminster.Independence is coming soon, time to move on for both countries.
Always been a big fan of Isla.
The glorious 45 was not just a war to restore the house of Stuart it was also a Scottish Civil War as Scots fought on both sides in large numbers
Agreed- History can only be written by the people who participated -l know from experience
Sweet William, hero to all the Scottish highlanders. Benchmark of human rights, well known for his peaceful practices of promoting Highland culture
/s
Bruce MacAllan William was a butcher who tried to stamp out Highland culture.
William the Butcher, slaughtered of men, women and children across the empire. Yet the Orange Order celebrate that pig.
viciouswolf1111 Could've sworn it was only really in Scotland, but yeah.
KamikazethecatII why u flying a union jack then if yer claiming WALLACE a hero?
viciouswolf1111 well said. and also they can march to hell with their daft traitorous sashes and drumbs and saxon flags
.... was ich damit sagen will ... es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit - doch was mag die schon bedeuten? - bis wir in der Lage sind, das durch die Zeit zu schicken, was wir wollen... Also achtsam - es kann sein, daß da etwas im Moor steht, dem ihr in Euren schlimmsten Träumen nicht begegnen wollt....
Nice one;)
England and Scotland were united dynastically under the house of Stuart, when the Stuarts were overthrown in the 1688 Glorious Revolution they attempted to regain the throne of both England and Scotland, which had passed to the House of Hanover. If memory serves me right it was Highlander against Lowlander and Prince Charles himself picked a battlefield that was a death sentence for his men, against the advice of his generals and when the battle turned into a route he took off and never returned
What´s your point? Should we be free or English lapdogs?
If you work hard enough, you can be. The lad is only saying that the aim of Charles wasn't to free Scotland, but to regain rule over it, England, Wales and my native Ireland. It was a civil war for control of a nation, not a fight for "liberty".
I agree..As a cosin of Dev Ireland..to much lies..an my husband father was from Scotland...again to much lies..An how hard it is to find or keep written records
The sad thing is that this song is not even based on Historic FACTS. As others have said, it was not about fighting for "Liberty" Charlie wanted the BRITISH throne for the Stuarts. Many Clansmen were either forced to fight, or did so out of Loyalty to the Clan chief, they werent thinking about Freeing Scotland. For some, it gave them a chance top get some revenge on an enemy clan, like the Campbells.
The History has been so twisted in recent years and it is songs like this one that add to theBS
just wanted to say thank you viviouswolf 1111
brilliant, a son of Alba
Here's to the King Sir, you Ken who I mean Sir....Up the sword and down the drum for the Bonnie Prince!
It wasn't as simple as Highlander against Lowlander, or Catholic against Protestant. When the two armies faced each other at Culloden, it would have been more than likely that people would have seen their own relatives in their enemies ranks.
This war turned brother against brother, father against son. The only deciding demographic here was opinion.
Great song but why a picture from the anglo-zulu war of 1879 at 3:02?
I want to listen to the song
my maiden side is from from the lowlands. Not proud of it. Am proud of the highlanders who died yet again to show us what men are. .
Why is isandlwana shown in the thumbnail and at 3.02??
@thomasthetiger mhh nette theorie.... s.Highland saga...Jamie & Claire
@jedq Most of the clansmen were following tied by loyalties, and land to their Lairds political opinions. This was a shameful part of the collective History of the British Isles, but the common people of these Islands are not at fault for the avarice of our so called betters, of either side. Shame on them!!
Komm mit uns ! Unser Deutsche freundin!
The jacobites were not fighting for scotland, they were fighting to put a catholic back on the throne which would never be accepted by most scots and english, this was a war of succession, i recommend that you pick up and read a history book :)
