It's the 16th of April and that means it's buy photo ticket for Asylum day the anniversary of The Battle of Culloden, a very important date in Scottish history.
As this means a lot to me, being very interested in Scottish history and the Jacobite Risings especially, I made a batch of icons related to this event (and some Scottish ones in general).

Now I also of course have to include some links of songs, videos and such ;-)

First of all we have a poem by Robert Burns

And finally the probably most famous song in remembrance of Charlie's escape after the defeat at Culloden.
Skye Boat Song

(This is actually sung by a Canadian guy, but all the Scottish versions I found were a bit too Scottish and not really enjoyable if you're not into folk music)
