really great, is it possible to visit Bannockburn house and Callender House
Yes, both are open to ther public. Callendar House open during the week. Bannockburn House is open periodically - the Bannockburn House Trust should be asked about opening times.
@@Association-qn4lj Thanks so much, purchased the book authored by Geoffrey Bailey and it promises to be a compelling read. Will visit the places of interest for sure, Sláinte to everyone at The 1745 Association!
A very good read Falkirk or Paradise: The Battle of Falkirk Muir, 1746 by Geoffrey B. Bailey
Brilliant, more on carlisle history please!
Time to teach Scottish history in schools
I met charlie zahm at the nh scottish games and he is very nice!! The song sounds even better in person
It is, of course, a possible site . The leaning stones may be the hearth, if so there will be ashes, and somewhere nearby a midden. At what depth , I don't know . But the area should investigated further. Very interesting .
Avery good report
Cameronians 14may 1689 born disbanded 14may 1968 on the same spot raised
Cameronians last man last bullet no surrender
We still parade nearest Sunday of the battle date
Amazing knowledge of the battle of dunkeld
Cameronian run out of ball bullets so the melted lead from the church roof
Cameron was killed at airds moss and in Douglas in the cellar of a inn floor still stained with blood from Cameron’s blood
The letter sending the cameronians to dunkeld still in Edinburgh
Members and friends of the 26th regiment of foot the cameronians still attend a church service at dunkeld every year to give thanks
Stumbled upon your fascinating presentation. Had never heard of Cluny's cage. I climbed Ben Alder recently as part of my Munro quest from the other side. As you say if feels a very remote place. I do hope you go back and do some more digging (pardon the pun) and let us know the results. I might be tempted to go myself. Thanks and well done.
Thanks Glen, great presentation, and surely a very strong contender for the site of the 'Cage'
Clunys cage has been known for a long time. It is on UA-cam on a Tom Weir episode.
A wonderful presentation. Ive always been fascinated by the "Cluny Cage", ever since i learnt about it, in the book Kidnapped. I think the evidence is very strong, and i think you have indeed discovered the cage. I would be great if another visit could be organised and you could do some digging or detecting while you are there, to help confirm the site. I look forward to hearing more in the future. To the King over the water. x
Wonderful poems, and a great video.
The first letter I assume is a report on the jacobite armies movements south and the writers displeasure at the British armies lack of response I.e horse (cavalry) and foot (infantry) The second letter as was common at the time is incorrect. Lord George Murray was not taken prisoner to head south, however Lord Kilmarnock was and later beheaded. Also the battle was on Culloden Moor near Inverness, not as written Louden hill witch is in the south of Scotland.
Very interesting, I will have to visit Monkstadt House to see the plaques next spring on my next trip to Scotland.
I love this song, it is nice to see some little-known Jacobite songs made into recordings. I suppose going through the entirety of Jacobite relics would be a big ask, but I will take what I can get. And thank ye kindly for including the lyrics in subtitles.
what portrait are you performing in front of
It is a portrait of Sir John Cope painted by William Aikman around the year 1730
God save our King across the waters. Hello, form an American Jacobite.
Wonderful video. Peter, thanks for sharing your research and knowledge.
What can you tell me? I am looking for information of the kind not found in school books. In particular, I want the hidden history of the French Monarchs, and any related British History, of the kind that opposes false imagery and false identities.
Awesome !!!
Well done. Tandem triumphans.
dear 1745 association please could you tell me which interpretation of the new testament is true, the catholic interpretation or the protestant interpretation
Thanks for the history of that battle .Well done on finding the Scandig treasure and treasure it is.I wonder if the French and Spanish still have claim to the Prince Charlie gold if it were found as they have for finds in America and around the globe of galleons lost and found sunk at sea.
Thanks very much for your clear explanation. I had heard snippets in the past but not the full version very sad very interesting..
This is such a grand rendition of my favorite Jacobite song! Well done & Bravo!
Sir John Hay of restalrig is my 7th great grand uncle. My name is Joshua Hay. Slainte!

Can I suggest that Neil Oliver ( whom after all had a BBC program that researched this site archeological) to have a GB news slant on the proposed development of this site?
Nice wee talk , much appreciated
Thanks Charlie

Great talk! 👍🏼🏴
Very nice!, are there guitar tabs for this song?
Absolutely captivating.
Oddly, the British army are here (and often elsewhere) referred to as the Hanoverian and yet, not when fighting the French and their allies.
The convention of most historians when writing about the Rising of 1745 is to refer to the government forces as "the Hanoverian Government army" and the forces of Prince Charles Edward Stuart as "the Jacobite Army", which was also a British army, comprising as it did English and Irish soldiers as well as Scots. In the same way, writers on the English Civil War do not refer to the army of Charles I as "the English Army" as their opponents were also English; and in the American Civil War the two armies are referenced as "the Union Army" and "the Confederate Army" (not "the American Army" and the "Rebels"). Sadly, the essence of a civl war is that soldiers of the same nationality are fighting against one another.
@@Association-qn4lj I'm aware of the composition of the British army units which were present at Falkirk Muir and at Culloden but see the valid argument of such historians as Prof Murray Pittock that the opponents of the Jacobites should properly be referred to for the functions that they served. How many regiments at Culloden had been present at Fontenoy and/or Dettingen, Prof Pittock argues? In both cases, they were part of the British army. They were there to support the British Whig government of the day and the British monarchy (at the time the House of Hanover). We do not refer to the army presence in Northern Ireland during the Troubles as the Windsorian army do we? Nope. So why do we refer to the regiments who fought for Britain during the War of the Austrian Succession as 'government' or 'Hanoverian' when it comes to the '45 in particular? One of the regiments at Culloden had been raised in support of James II/VII. Yes, some of the men in the British army at Culloden were Scots; some were even recruited directly in response to Charles Edward Stuart landing on Eriskay, but most were already serving by then. The Argyll militia were not formally part of the British army at Culloden and in any case, like most Campbells, had other motives. In the case of the US Civil War, many of the senior officers on either side trained and served together prior to the war, but the Union army could hardly claim to represent the armed will of the US nation when there were seceding States; therefore we rightly refer to the combatants as the Union and Confederate armies. Not so with the Rising of 1745, where Jacobites rose with the aim to reinstate the senior branch of the Stuart line.
Thank you so much for that
Wonderful Mike, well done.👍👌😎
Well done Mike. Great talk
Wonderful service and people, Thank you.
Thank you for remembering these brave men, god rest their souls.
