@yukonnahanni I thank you for the salute, but it’s only words from a surviving ‘Nam vet turned Florida wilderness recluse. You enjoy your peace, I enjoy my freedom. They’re not totally exclusive from one another but if it came right down to a choice of ‘druthers’ I’d rather have my freedom, or die fighting for it, instead.
Thanks a heap.
@candw87 Yes the english were butchers ,difinately .Im from aberdeenshire.Lord pitsligo was a very brave man ,very.He lost all and had to hide in a cave by the sea .The camerons were very brave .One true story is after the battle ,the wounded were all left to die or bayonted shot.Cumberland gave orders for a injured scot to be bayoneted , the english officer refused.Said it was not his way to do such .A scot officer fighting for the english done the dirty deed , He was a fraser. aberdeenshre
Most of the Jacobite uprising went in their favour. They won every battle against the redcoats untill Culloden. Its shit cause they were really close to putting the Stuarts back on the throne.
Scots/Czech here…The Jacobites since the 1680′s had probably one good victory for every other Rising. In the ’45, it was Prestonpans. King James actually HAD Scotland-he gave the chance of England to Charles…The Chiefs who raised James chose to support Charles-much to their loss.
@Inquisitor53 … knew that even in their deaths their spirits will live on in those that feel and know of their bravery.
Do you think there would be such a political battle today for an independent Scotland if the Highlanders would’ve just laid down their weapons and walked away? Again, I think not! It is the in the losing of that battle against such odds but with all their highland pride they will never be known as cowards but as some of the bravest men that ever lived on this planet!
@TheScotlandforever The person who’s willing to die trying to rid themselves of invaders, not the chieftains, not the officers, but the the ones barely making a living off the land granted them by their chieftain, did NOT waste their lives for nothing! Do you think if they had surrendered they would be remembered to this day and into the far future? I think not!
They died bravely for the only way of life they knew. I’m sure they knew they were about to fight a losing battle but they also…
Well this was a battle that the Jacobites tried so hard to win but we lost badly and i think that they were the best fighters that scotland has ever borne.
There lives were not forgotten and the way that they fought is still being taught to those men who stand for a free SCOTLAND and i think that we owe alot to those men who fought and sadly died on that day.
this is what the Jacobites fought and died for but did Scotland get the recognition that we deserved, no We did not so the men who fought and died wasted there lives for nothing.
Why even our own scots down us our traditions.Duncan prince charles must have been a brave man , no matter what we think.He put his neck on the line for scotlands freedom.Im sure the clan chiefs were no fools.One incident was prince cherly wanted to go in front of his clans at the start of the battleEnglish are a different race of people.Im surrounded we them.Ponny tails a pink welly boots.England was very treacherous to scotland very.Have u every heard the english anthems of old.They hated sc
Very emotive song but I wonder if Isla Grant actually read her history books? They fought to save their land and died for dignity? Really? I thought they fought because their clan chieftains told them to (not sure the average highlander had a lot of liberty) and they died trying to put a half Polish Stuart, who had been born and lived in Italy all his life, on the throne of England and Scotland.

THe english civilized the Scots are you a moron Scotland has it’s own civilazation the english where baberous buthchers how tried to destroy Scottish culture and failed so keep your comments to yourself idiot.
@MrRobertson52 True, and the war against the Highlands continued after the 45 when the began the highland clearances. So many were forced to Canada, the states, and Australia. If your heart is highland then you are. Clan Cameron here!
Es war ein langer Tag, das Ziel noch endlos weit. Kanonen und Mörser nahmen ihnen? heut viel Zeit – 17 lange Meilen sind es noch bis Inverness, 17 Meilen, die das Schwarze Corps niemals vergißt …
Rebuild hadrians wall.Different race of people accross the wall .True king or queen should have been from the house of stuart.Anyway scotland is full of white settlers.Ruined a great wee nation.I fly my scottish flags high with great pride.They come here and take our crofts and traditions.I for one of many am scottish to the core.Clan robertson.
This is not how civilized wardare is fought it should be standing over eachother and shoot on turns this is barbaric. I’m glad the the English civilized the Scottish and Irish.

@MrRobertson52 There’s hardly any mention of the 300 Cameron’s who were slaughtered at Culloden as they lay injured on the Battlefield
