Beautiful . As an Irishman I appreciate this song .
What does Ireland have to do with Scotland or this for that matter?
Frenchman too
@@RR-pe5or What I meant was that as a Celt ( though not a Scott ) I like this song .
@@donsalluste1581 Correct .
@@donsalluste1581 France has a lot of historical ties to Scotland .
Bit scottish,started to be very interested in the history and culture of Scotland lately and i am in love with it
I'm a decendant of king Malcolm the third king of scot's! I love this song! Posted by Michael McCall 🏴
The Bruce was my 20th Great Grandpa and I love it too!
Best version with captioning.
I think there are still a hundred or more still in scotland
Never will we be under English rule...the document in Arbroath says as much.
It’s amazing where the Irish ended up!
Singer is Alastair Mcdonald.
Appropriate for the present lot of Scottish politicians
All a bunch of EU Yoon globalists, determined to ruin Scotland by trying to turn it into an EU statelet.
Nice👍I was going to say exactly that. The irony of the song and the SNP!😂 As a proud Englishman, I like the song and my Scots friends.
@@Daniel-deMerrivale I am sorry to say, you have a Parcel O` Rogues in your nation too. Good Luck.
Indeed
@@williamgardner2739 they got no brain cells due to too much in breedng to know they are fecked
It didn't even cost them much, £240,000 Scots, if I remember correctly, disbursed by Argyll as "parliamentary expenses".
And some English ground.
Then why does the English area of Doncaster still belong to Scotland?
@@RR-pe5or because England never requested it back. It was ceded to Scotland in the 12th century. More information can be found on Google.
😢
@Bruce-1956 Actually it was not only requested back, there were actually several English attempts to have it returned before the 1707 act of Union, what you're talking about is that there has never been any English attempts to request it back since 1707, but prior to 1707 there was.
As for Google, the information is only as good as the knowledge and insight of the people who upload the information you are looking at. Even Wikipedia can easily be edited by anyone.
The golden rule: who got the gold makes the rules... mark me, no change till we change!
If i had to choose between Scotland and i would choose England l.. Hi form Scotland
Sic a parcel o rogues in a polis station wi their labour party slime.
England's branch form investigation?
What branch?you would never here the Scum or Wail papers mention the millions killed or 180 countries invaded!
A dastardly plot by Scottish lairds and English capitalists. The latter persuaded the former that they could make far more money from raising sheep than their paltry income from their peasant tenants. This led directly to the infamous highland clearances which forcibly drove the poor off their ancestral lands. A good many took ship to Canada and subsequently united themselves with the indigenous, notably the Cree nation. Those displaced Scots are one of the two European roots (the other being the French) of the Métis people of Canada.
And many came to America. Between 1747 and 1777, the backbone of a group who were ready to fight the king !
The American revolution was a lot more than tea and stamps...
Well, I didn’t know that about the Métis.
@@blugaledoh2669 Yeah, it's understandable that the displaced Scots highlanders and the indigenous would find mutual understanding. Both were communally organized tribal people with the same colonial oppressor.
This is earlier - the Acts of Union. The Scottish who lost money from the Darien venture were paid off to sell Scotland to England, along with other MPs that were bribed, and others that had their English lands threatened to be confiscated unless they accepted in the Alien Act.
The Clearences were similar enough - Chiefs were forced to send their kids to city schools (Statutes of Iona) where they were taught they weren't clan chiefs, but landholders. The time they were compelled to live in the city caused them to become indebted, and they paid those manufactured debts by plundering their clans.
It started earlier and continues today around the world - teach kids young they should conform, and tax them so they can never be free. Now we happily feed from the trough and are grateful for whatever our masters give us. People talk about the cattle being replaced by sheep in the highlands, but it's the people that became livestock.
@@celluskh6009 Thanks for the additional information. I have read only a little about the Darien misadventure. Conquering colonies is a bit like investing in the stock exchange. You can lose your shirt if you choose wrongly.
As a Scotsman, this is not a song! This is a poem by Robert Burns.
You gotta admit, poems make for great songs
I mean... you're hearing the song adaptation silly
@@Alpha1918 I’m sorry, I can’t agree with you. I’ve a spoken this very poem on many occasions, and it requires passion and thought which this song does not give it.
@@DieLorel31 I mean, you’re talking absolute bollocks, but hey ho!
@@daz6637 Doesn't give? There's a whole lot of passion in this song! Imo, singing something makes it better than saying it (unless it's a chant but that doesn't apply here)
On which album can I find this version, please?
@@Leon_der_Luftige Scottish Battle Balads.
That also applies to the versions of The Wee German Lairdie and Stirling Brig I uploaded.
@@epicepicmk Ah, alright. I got the Album "Battles & ballads of Scotland" and its a bit different. I prefer this version here. Thanks
Sadly the album is hard to come by here in Germany.
Dear Unionists; The Bard hated the Union.
No, he didn't: www.aforceforgood.org.uk/images/rb3.jpg
pffft, why would he care about the American Civil War? checkmate paddy
Robert Burnes certainly did not
Thats just not true, Robert Burns was a supporter of the Union and detested the jacobites. Why you lying?
@penderyn8794 Get a life
at least this jock was self aware!
Aye ye rouges we have long memorys here.😡
Robert Burns called Britain the finest constitution on earth.
or perhaps the wit of man can frame
Puir mon had a guid hairt an' wis forced tae compromise 😢!
Britain/UK does not have a Constitution
@@jackpirie7382 she does, it just isn't a single document
@penderyn8794 a quick google search would prove you wrong about the constitution, it's real
Free Scotland
Scottish freedom end English rule
There is no ancient Scottish fame or ancient glories.
Yes there is we kicked the S:%t out of ancient Rome can the English say the same
@@craigkelly4278 The Romans conquered Scotland twice, both times they withdrew as it was economically worthless.
@@uafchris you keep telling yourself that. They where never totally lost invaded yes but never conquered
Scotland as a small country of random tribes fought off the Romans, Vikings and English only to be sold out by their own people. Farewell our ancient glory
