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...

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.

@RaynauddeChatillion: The performer of this song is a Hungarian musician named Arany Zoltan. He has a channel here on You Tube. Simply do a search on his name and you'll find a good deal of results. Hope that helps!
@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 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.
Aye m8 ye' ve got a few verses a missin! get it right when ye' ve got tae a put a point across! Wallace once said (when e were alive) "Let the blighten England APOLOGIZE! fer their wrought tae us! / I still believe in Wallace!
Not all fought for a Catholic king to be placed on the throne, many fought for a Scottish parliament to be built, and if Prince Charles had conformed perhaps they wouldn't have been stoned in places such as Glasgow.
@@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'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......"😂

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.
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.
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
Those who are used by others will usually defend those who use them. Those who say will die for "national independence" sometimes don't really care about their folks on street. They fight for faith, not reality. . By the way, Scottish music is beautiful. Hope your people can have happy lives. And hope I can visit your country in future. --A Chinese who like Scottish Music.
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 agree, but it can't all be war with othersOne thing i love about Burns is that while he had so much love for his homeland, he knew how to respect other nations. He wrote about George Washington and America and how we were really making a name for ourselves. He was Scotland's greatest poet, and more people need to see others how he did.
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.
@@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.

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.
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!
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
Forever the Scottish people will stand proud on are we patch of earth and live under no burden of foreigners rule, I love my country and my people we are unique forever and true
When I was 14, I was sent in a British catholic boarding school in Vendée, the most Christian region in France, famous for its rebellion against the French Jacobins. There I was taught the marvellous British culture and letters, and there were little way of being so truly French and British at the same time. So let’s remember the thousands of Irishmen, Scots, and English catholics and Jacobites who found refuge in France, and let’s pray that Britain reunites with the Holy Church of Rome.

@@kincaidwolf5184 Exactly! Why would they? Scotland had just spent the last 200 years forcing Scot’s and Presbyterianism upon the Highlanders just as the English were doing with Ireland.
@@Somerandomdrummer8 I don't disagree with you but 9 in 10 of people in Scotland have always lived in the lowlands. It's ashame more people don't understand the difference between Scots and Highlander. The Highlanders, let's be honest lived a brutal existence, where the clan leader was in effect a warlord dictator. The Highlanders way of life was always going to come crashing down during the age of enlightment(which the Scots helped to create), the Highlanders were incredibly loyal to the House of Stuart, a lowland Scots Royal Family. Your English part in Ireland makes less sense, as most of the British in NI are from Scottish Presbyterian background. In the 17th/18th century the biggest supporters of Irish Independence were Anglo Protestants like Wolfetone :)
+Jones the Pict 26 One cannot look at Scottish Nationalism without the twin feelings of pride and sadness. I am a Scottish Nationalist and I want to see Scotland finally free of English tyranny. I am proud of the sacrifices made by the brave heroes that gave up their lives. But I lament with a heart that is utterly broken by the inability of our people to stand TOGETHER as an ENTIRE NATION against the common enemy. Our forefathers fought for more than just independence. They gave their lives for a country that we could claim as our natural birthright. "As England used once to be large enough for seven kings or more" "And we being but poor Scots who covet nothing but our own".

"While Burns had expressed sympathy for the French Revolution, he clearly had no liking for the Jacobites."
Confusing Jacobites with Jacobins? Heresy.

He is the King of Reef, I'll declare,
He is the King of Reef, of a Robber and o' Thief,
To rest void of Relief when he's near.
They marched thro' our Land cruelly, cruelly,
They marched thro' our Land cruelly,
They marched thro' our Land with a bloody thievish Band
To Edinburgh then they wan Treachery.
To Preston then they came, in a Rout, in a Rout,
To Preston then they came, in a Rout;
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.
thought better lyrics
Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear.
What is right and what is wrong by the law, by the law
What is right and what is wrong by the law
What is right and what is wrong, a short sword and a long
A weak arm and a strong for to draw.
What makes heroic strife famed afar, famed afar?
What makes heroic strife famed afar?
What makes heroic strife, to whet the assassin's knife
Or hunt a parent's life with bloody war.
Then leave your schemes alone in the state, in the state
Then leave your schemes alone in the state
Then leave your schemes alone, adore the rising sun
And leave a man alone to his fate.
Then leave your schemes alone, adore the rising sun
And leave a man alone to his fate...
And leave a man alone to his fate.

@@medar3520 thanks man
@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
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..
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.
Aye m8 ye' ve got a few verses a missin! get it right when ye' ve got tae a put a point across! Wallace once said (when e were alive) "Let the blighten England APOLOGIZE! fer their wrought tae us! / I still believe in Wallace!
Not all fought for a Catholic king to be placed on the throne, many fought for a Scottish parliament to be built, and if Prince Charles had conformed perhaps they wouldn't have been stoned in places such as Glasgow.
I'm english and i love this. I'm also off my head.

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.
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

Those who are used by others will usually defend those who use them. Those who say will die for "national independence" sometimes don't really care about their folks on street. They fight for faith, not reality. .

I agree, but it can't all be war with othersOne thing i love about Burns is that while he had so much love for his homeland, he knew how to respect other nations. He wrote about George Washington and America and how we were really making a name for ourselves. He was Scotland's greatest poet, and more people need to see others how he did.

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.
A slight mistake in the lyrics. It goes like "lend an ear", not "give an ear". As far as I can hear, that is)))
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.

When I was 14, I was sent in a British catholic boarding school in Vendée, the most Christian region in France, famous for its rebellion against the French Jacobins. There I was taught the marvellous British culture and letters, and there were little way of being so truly French and British at the same time. So let’s remember the thousands of Irishmen, Scots, and English catholics and Jacobites who found refuge in France, and let’s pray that Britain reunites with the Holy Church of Rome.

Exactly! Why would they? Scotland had just spent the last 200 years forcing Scot’s and Presbyterianism upon the Highlanders just as the English were doing with Ireland.
@@Somerandomdrummer8 I don't disagree with you but 9 in 10 of people in Scotland have always lived in the lowlands. It's ashame more people don't understand the difference between Scots and Highlander. The Highlanders, let's be honest lived a brutal existence, where the clan leader was in effect a warlord dictator. The Highlanders way of life was always going to come crashing down during the age of enlightment(which the Scots helped to create), the Highlanders were incredibly loyal to the House of Stuart, a lowland Scots Royal Family. Your English part in Ireland makes less sense, as most of the British in NI are from Scottish Presbyterian background. In the 17th/18th century the biggest supporters of Irish Independence were Anglo Protestants like Wolfetone :)

One cannot look at Scottish Nationalism without the twin feelings of pride and sadness.
I am a Scottish Nationalist and I want to see Scotland finally free of English tyranny.
I am proud of the sacrifices made by the brave heroes that gave up their lives.
But I lament with a heart that is utterly broken by the inability of our people to stand TOGETHER as an ENTIRE NATION against the common enemy.
Our forefathers fought for more than just independence. They gave their lives for a country that we could claim as our natural birthright.
