I'm in total agreement. They play so many different instruments and their singing is unreal. I only found them recently and I'm in total awe of their talent. Scotland should have a national holiday every year in their honor.

I was very fortunate to see them twice in Canada in the mid 70s. I was around 10. I loved them and your right. So talented.

I liked this song so much that I did a little research on Sherrifmuir and read about the battle and so forth and then I found out that this is a poem/song by Robert Burnes. So I read up on Robbie too. Music, History, and Culture all rolled in one. AWESOME!

I LOVE when the Corries play double Bohdran. It's absolutely awesome and runs a chill up my spine every time. I'd love to learn to play one. Great version, this one.

Strange, but I'm hearing bits of "Finnegan's Wake," most popularly performed by the Irish Rovers. Is there maybe a common basis for the tune?

The last of the Royal Stuarts in the Protestant succession, Queen Anne, died in 1714. Her successor was the Hanoverian King George I. In Scotland the antagonism to the succession of a German "princeling" who spoke little English was acute, especially among the Highlanders. King James III, from his exile in France, believed that the time was right to launch another Jacobite uprising.

It's nowhere the Ochils, it's the other side of Dunblane. As to the owner, he's the character who demolished an historic building and then asked for permission to do so - his excuse was that 'it was dangerous to children'. For the amount of children who ever got near it, see my previous comment.

as to the playing of the bodhran (the drums) it's less in the wrist than you'd think. you need to keep your wrist loose and fingers relatively tight. Think of shaking the paint out of a paintbrush: it's the same principle.

Many people attribute poems to Robert Burns that were in actually works by earlier poets. This song is one of the songs he "reworked ". Burns collected and compiled the folk music off Scotland and had no qualms against changing them as this was common practice at the time .A couple of volumes of these works were published at the time. Though without a doubt his best works were his own . No one had the political wit he had. He was a progressive thinker for his time and sexually promiscuous.Twelve known children by different women.He was married to another at the time some of these women were giving birth. Burns also was a staunch Scots Nationalist but did not believe in a bloody revolution as evidenced by his " Ye Jacobites by name ". Regardless of the life Robbie Burns lived and perhaps because of , he remains one the worlds greatest poets.

The original lyrics were written by John Barclay, and to be honest were a bit leaden. Burns took it on himself to polish them up a bit, and in effect completely rewrote them. The version the Corries sang is basically Robbie's, but a bit shorter.

I think it's because of this "failed" Jacobite attempts that Scotland is known to the world, and not an insignificant dot on the map.
