  • “Oran Eile Don Phrionnsa” is one of Gaelic songs composed by the Highland bard Alexander MacDonald (Alasdair mac Mhaighstir Alasdair). Hailing from Clan MacDonald of Clanranald, Alasdair possessed the almost unheard of skill, for the time, of being able to read and write in the vernacular Scottish Gaelic language, composing poetry early in his life. The Jacobite Rising of 1745 brought out his lyrical talent, writing numerous songs which found use in recruiting efforts. Throughout the course of the rebellion, Alasdair served as the Makar for the Highland Army, and had even been charged with teaching Prince Charlie Gaelic.
    "Moch Sa Mhadainn" performed by Griogair Labhruidh, Arranged by Bear McCreary, 2016.

    Most people don't know, but this poem convinced Prince Charlie to go Scotland. Aeneas Macdonald one of the Seven Men of Moidart, read to him this poem in France alongside with the Song of the Highland Clans to convince him.

    I’m Canadian with some Highland Scottish roots. My MacLellan ancestors came from the Island of South Uist, which is “The Land of Clanranald.” After the defeat at Culloden, Prince Charlie fled back to South Uist and was hidden in a cave. That cave is only 5km from where my MacLellan ancestors were living at the time. Mine left for PEI in 1787, and I’ve seen pictures of their ruined houses on Uist. So much history. I understand there are still a few MacLellans on the Island. I long to go back. I say “back” even though I’ve never been there…

    The authenticity is already in the lyrics, it is in an older version of Gaelic, easy to tell due to the accent marks not just pointing left but also right.

He was even respected by the Hannoverians and to this day, it is a tradition that whenever the present Lochiel enters on an official visit to Glasgow, the bells of the Tolbooth are rung to commemorate his forebear, the Gentle Lochiel.

    Since this was a especial day for the Jacobite. Here is what they celebrated this day 236 years ago.
    On this day 31 of December, in the year 1787.
    Robert Burns, Lady Nairn, author of 'Will ye no come back again', (whose father had been Prince Charles' aide de camp); James Murray of Abercairney; the Earl and Countess of Seaforth; the Duke of Perth; Oliphant of Gask (whose father had organized Prince Charlie's coronation in the Abbey of Holyrood House in September 1745); Thriepland of Fingask and Stuart, Lord Provost of Edinburgh, etc.
    Participated in the celebration of Prince Charlie Birthday in Edinburgh, it must be noted, shared the same table and they all stood and drank 'to the King over the water'.
    And it was also on that same day that Robert Burns wrote his ode Titled: Birthday Ode For 31st December, 1787.

    Very evocative song! I am of Scottish descent, especially Lamonts of Cowal...persecuted mercilessly by pro-government Campbells for their loyalty to the Stuarts...so I have Jacobite genes for sure. In an ironic way it seems to me that Charlie had the last laugh. The cause was lost but as Burns pointed out, it had a lasting effect on Scottish culture, the horrible aftermath of Culloden marked even the English who had supported "Butcher" Cumberland. The Hanoverian Frederick Prince of Wales (who detested his brother) visited Flora Macdonald under house arrest, wore a (now forbidden) tartan waistcoat (!) and apparently had her freed. The only Hanoverian of the time I have any respect for! It's a shame he died before his monstrous father George II.

    • @lucario2188
      @lucario2188 4 місяці тому +1

      Yes, Frederick hated his father and his family. Some people think he was rutting for the Prince Charlie to win. That is how bad his relationship with his family was.
      His mother famously described him has: "the greatest ass and the greatest liar and the greatest canaille and the greatest beast in the whole world". There was no good will between them he hated his family and they hated him.

    • @lucario2188
      @lucario2188 4 місяці тому +1

      Just to illustrate how bad the relationship with his family was his own mother, the queen spread rumors about him. One of those was that he was impotent and that She doubted his children were actually his. And when he died George II said i have lost my eldest son, but i am glad.
