Will ye no come back again

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
Lament For Culloden by Robert Burns

The lovely lass o' Inverness,
Nae joy nor pleasure can she see;
For e'en and morn she cries, "Alas!"
And ay the saut tear blins her ee:
Drumossie moor—Drumossie day—
A waefu' day it was to me!
For there I lost my father dear,
My father dear, and brethren three.

Their winding-sheet the bluidy clay,
Their graves are growing green to see:
And by them lies the dearest lad
That ever blest a woman's ee!
Now wae to thee, thou cruel lord,
A bluidy man I trow thou be;
For mony a heart thou hast made sair
That ne'er did wrang to thine or thee.


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)

Ja das wird wohl etwas weit...schade...
Ich kenn mich halt eigentlich fast nur an der Westküste aus und halt n Glasgow und Edinburgh. Städte sind auch ok, aber in Schottland würde ich wirklich versuchen aus den Städten rauszukommen! Vielleicht gibts ja so ne Ein-Tages-Bustour oder so?
