The Rebel Black Dot Song of Union
Déanta, "Culloden's Harvest" from Green Linnet Records: The Twentiest Anniversary Collection (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: Support the Jacobite claim to the thrones of England & Scotland over the Hanoverian claims if you wish, but engage not in myth-making & revisionist nonsense. Bonnie Prince Charlie's invasion/uprising in 1745, which was decisively crushed at the Battle of Culloden, had Highland support, certainly, but the Highland clans do not all of Scotland make (Wayback Machine).

"But in scarcely the time it takes me to tell
The flower of our country lay scorched by an army
As ruthless and red as the embers of Hell…

"'Twas the musket and cannon against honor and courage,
The invader's men stood as our clansmen did fall…"




Ecurie Ecosse is French for "Team Scotland."
