10 Jacobite Songs from Scotland

Nov 30th is the feast of St. Andrew. St. Andrew's Day is to the Scots what St. Patrick's day is to the Irish.

Being Partially Scotch I decided to celebrate with some Jacobite music.

----------English------------------------------------------
The Jacobite risings, also known as the Jacobite rebellions or the War of the British Succession,[1] were a series of uprisings, rebellions, and wars in Great Britain and Ireland occurring between 1688 and 1746. The uprisings had the aim of returning James II of England and VII of Scotland, the last Catholic British monarch, and later his descendants of the House of Stuart, to the throne of Great Britain after they had been deposed by Parliament during the Glorious Revolution. The series of conflicts takes its name Jacobitism, from Jacobus, the Latin form of James.

The major Jacobite risings were called the Jacobite rebellions by the ruling governments. The "first Jacobite rebellion" and "second Jacobite rebellion" were also known respectively as "the Fifteen" and "the Forty-five", after the years in which they occurred (1715 and 1745). - Wikipedia

Les rébellions jacobites (ou révoltes jacobites) sont une série de soulèvements, de rébellions et de guerres s'étant déroulées dans les îles Britanniques (en Grande-Bretagne et en Irlande) entre 1688 et 1746. Leur objectif commun était de ramener Jacques Stuart, VII d'Écosse et II d'Angleterre (le dernier roi catholique de la monarchie britannique), et, plus tard, ses descendants de la maison Stuart, sur le trône dont ils ont été privés par le Parlement après la Glorieuse Révolution de 1688. Ces révoltes tirent leur nom du jacobitisme, lui-même issu de Jacobus, l'équivalent latin de Jacques (James en anglais).

La majorité des insurrections ont été qualifiées de rébellions jacobites par les gouvernements en place. La première et la seconde rébellion jacobite était alors nommées respectivement « le Quinze » et « le Quarante-Cinq », en référence aux années où elles se sont tenues (1715 et 1745). Bien que ces révoltes soient des événements à part entière, elles sont cependant à intégrer dans une série de plus importantes campagnes militaires européennes visant à restaurer les Stuart sur les trônes d'Écosse et d'Angleterre (et après 1707, celui de Grande-Bretagne). - Wikipedia

Jakobitupproren var en serie av uppror och krig i Storbritannien och på Irland. Upproren ägde rum mellan 1688 och 1746. Upproren hade som mål att återinsätta Jakob II av England - och senare hans ättlingar av huset Stuart - på Storbritanniens tron efter att han blivit avsatt av parlamentet under den Ärorika revolutionen.

Striderna var först och främst dynastiska, men hade också religiösa sidor eftersom de jakobitiska Stuart-arvingarna var katoliker. Många katoliker hade förhoppningar om att om man skulle lyckas sätta en katolsk monark på tronen skulle detta leda till stora ändringar i brittisk religionspolitik. - Wikipedia

Los levantamientos jacobitas fueron una serie de revueltas, rebeliones y guerras en las islas Británicas entre 1688 y 1746. Tuvieron como finalidad devolver el trono a Jacobo II de Inglaterra y, con ello, a sus descendientes de la Casa de Estuardo, del cual habían sido privados por el Parlamento después de la Revolución Gloriosa de 1688. - Wikipedia

Poor Bonnie Prince Charlie...
The Stuarts"s curse....
And nobody wanted to help him.
Very beautiful, moving and melancholic songs.
Thank's for sharing.

Who's up for restarting a rebellion

[LeicesterTradCatholic]

I haven't a drop of Scottish blood (as far as I'm aware) but I'm definitely a supporter of the Jacobite cause. Great songs!

So many of these brave fighters emigrated to the Colonies and when 1776 came around they were a big part of why we were able to eventually repel the Crown. Especially in the southern colonies like SC the descendants of Scots were decisive...and they often fought their kinfolk fighting for the English. I think in many ways the Jacobite caused continued overseas.

Being fan of Outlander got me here Respect ur traditions 💕

[helenrobeson]

Great music I never knew why I loved the bagpipes so much until I found out my ancestors were Scottish. Some of the folk songs I grew up with in Australia.

[chrisjustus]

THE RICHNESS OF YOUR TARTAN, THE LOCHS, THE LAND AND YOUR NAME

[Octobermory]

I don't know why but these words bring back a lot of sadness for the rebels.

[norarivkis]

I'm neither Scottish nor Catholic, and couldn't care less which figurehead monarch is used by a country which has long since stopped being ruled by monarchs in the first place... but damn, the songs are terrific.

[viktoriabentham]

Don't know how many people in this comment section are unaware of the important detail that under the Jaccobites the average Scott was "Rent" with no rights or property. What happened to many innocent people during and post Culloden was grotesque, but anyone who's should also be weary of calling themselves 'Jacobite'. I had ancestors on both sides of that horrible war and I enjoy these songs because I enjoy the history, the beautiful Scottish accents, and the pipes.

[tsar]

The Rightful Catholic King of England the Chad himself Prince Charles Edward Stuart's birthday is the 31st so it's time to binge Jacobite songs until then.
EDIT: Shut up everyone, this is over 2 years old

[Markfamily]

Been reading Outlander series, learned so much about the Jacobites rebellion and their attempt to restore their king, such a sad history
