Minor issue with subtitles, should be "Claverhouse spoke," not "claver who spoke," as Dundee's family estate and title was Claverhouse

The dialect of 'Bonnie Dundee' seems to give Net lyrics transcribers a great deal of trouble. It's as if they can't make sense of what they're writing. You'd hardly believe how they render 'brave dunewassails' which most notes on the song helpfully describe as clan soldiery.

They might have an easier time of it subtitling 'Killecrankie' accurately.

I am apparently a descendant, though, as a bastard. Supposedly John Graham was quite prolific in his travels.

@@KiernanRenaud That happened a lot. Like the Mckintosh were the wife of the Chief of the Clan, Anne Mckintosh, choose to side with Bonnie Prince Charlie and rallied the Clan to side with the Prince while her husband fought for the goverment has a officer. Eventually her husband was captured by the Jacobite army and the Prince paroled Captain Mackintosh into the custody of his wife, commenting "he could not be in better security, or more honourably treated". She famously greeted him with the words, "Your servant, captain" to which the Prince replied, "your servant, colonel" thereby giving her the nickname by which She would be know for decades to come Colonel Anne.

Well the Jacobites weren't really Scottish they were Catholics and those who believed in the power of the king over parliament.

The second and fourth pictures show the battle of Dunkeld, a Jacobite defeat (a few weeks after the costly triumph at Killiecrankie) and the third is of the Boyne, another Jacobite defeat. What about the song The Haughs of Cromdale being added on this channel, though there's no known song for Dunkeld, though of course the Cromdale song is woefully inaccurate; with references to Cromwell and it being a Jacobite victory!! Or what about the song about Glencoe (which was made into a low budget film), to complete the Jacobite song trilogy for 1689-92?

I’ve noticed a lot of British tunes find their way into American music from the late 19th century, it’s pretty interesting how many of the melodies were recycled into American music

I have been trying to get some more Scottish music up, but most likely not from the 89 rising, finding enough content for this one was extremely hard, so I probably finish clearing my current in progress videos before going to try again with the 1680s, same with the James II song that I posted, it’s a really under documented era in film.
