Victory or Death- All The Blue Bonnets (Are Over The Border)

This is a remake of an old British bagpipe song. It was played while men fought in battles to keep moral up and to strike fear into the enemy. This will be on the new album that will come out soon. Hope you enjoy.

This songs not about the Jacobites, it's about the border revivers. All those place names ending in dale are spitting distance from where I live. They were called the marches and were a bloody and lawless land, every year we still ride those boundaries of the marches. Blue bonnets were used as people understood that they were worn by everyone as a general hat, the original wording by Sir Walter Scott was "steel bonnets", a reference to his ancestry of the border revivers.

Aye, was just chatting to a Russian about how cunning the Brits were to incorporate the imagery of the separate nations to foster a unique British one. A perfect example. England shall many a day, tell of the bloody fray, When the blue bonnets came over the border.

Regimental March of the old King's Own Scottish Borderers... the regimental recruiting area covered Ettrick and Teviotdale... Eskdale and Reivers a'! XXV!

Omg, my best friend told me to listen to this, its really catchy and i love it for some reason.

According to Wikipedia, All the Blue Bonnets Are Over the Border is the bagpipe tune you hear playing in the Eric Burdon & the Animal's song Sky Pilot. I've occasionally wondered about that for the past 50 years.

This is the song the British played in the war while running over the trenches scared the shit out of the Germans sad never forget (1914/1918)

Bill you are right it is Scottish but nothing to do with the Jacobites. Exactly the opposite in fact. The tune is General Leslie's March to Longmarston Muir. Lesley was a general of the Scottish Covenating gvt's army which assisted the English parliamentarians against the Stuart monarch Charles 1. The words used were originally written by Scott in one of  his novels and seem to pertain to an earlier period. The lyrics talk of the men of Ettrick and Teviotdale and Liddesdale marching to the border for their Queen. Borderers fighting for their Queen has nothing to do with the Jacobites. The Corries in their version change Queen to King which might make some people think the song is about the exiled King James - but it isn't.

I was here thinking that this the highland dance Blue Bonnets... Well... THIS IS WHAT I GET!

[markussutter]

Very nice tune. But its right. The Borderers ever were Whigs.

[Stvmulligan]

Blue bonnet, white cockade...Bonnie Prince  Charlie, curse of Scotland!  All hail the soon-to-be Scottish Republic...religion and monarchy, curse of Scotland, remove them, result equality, freedom and happiness!

The british flag and this tune could not be more contrasting...This tune celebrates the Jacobite army that wore blue bonnets crossing into England to take on the British Government and throw the German King off the British throne.

This is most definitely NOT a British tune. It's 100% Scottish. The words are by Sir Walter Scott and set to a traditional Scottish tune. It is associated with the Jacobite uprising in the mid 1800's against the British forces.
