  • "Wha'll be King but Charlie?" is a Highland Jacobite song describing the great excitement the Jacobites had when Prince Charles Edward Stuart (the claimant to the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland) arrived in Scotland and rallied the Jacobites to his banner.

    My MacLean blood wishes I was there at Culloden, if only for a moment for the Bonnie Prince. The MacLean loyalty is well shown in the song "Come O'er the Stream Charlie". The only reason the MacLean name is so widespread is due to the persecution by the English royalty, the same royalty that slaughtered the MacDonalds of Glencoe. The House of
    Orange-Nassau has much to answer for.

      Watch the film "Culloden" from 1964. While the history in it is outdated, its portrayal of 18th century warfare is authentic and shows the horror and brutality of that type of warfare. There is no glory, nothing good whatsoever. Just death and fear.

      It's an assertion, a rhetorical question. His grandfather was chased off the throne by his treacherous daughter and her cousin whom she'd married. This was as a result of the birth of his son who was later, by right, King James VIII of Scotland & III of England once his father left this world. The Bonnie Prince sought to reclaim his father's throne from their distant German cousins (who had taken it after both his aunts died childless), after whom he would become King Charles III.
