Tour Scotland 4K travel video of Scots singing the Ye Jacobites by Name Jacobite song at a Ceilidh on ancestry visit to the museum in Perth, Perthshire. The Jacobite risings, also known as the Jacobite rebellions or the War of the British Succession, were a series of uprisings, rebellions, and wars in Great Britain and Ireland occurring between 1688 and 1746. The uprisings had the aim of returning King James II of England and VII of Scotland, the last Catholic British monarch, and later his descendants of the House of Stuart, to the throne of Great Britain after they had been deposed by Parliament during the Glorious Revolution. The series of conflicts takes its name Jacobitism, from Jacobus, the Latin form of James.

Perth is a city in central Scotland, on the banks of the River Tay. It is the administrative centre of Perth and Kinross council area and the historic county town of Perthshire. It has a population of about 47,180.
Perth has been known as The Fair City since the publication of the story Fair Maid of Perth by Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott in 1828. During the later medieval period the city was also called St John's Toun or Saint Johnstoun by its inhabitants in reference to the main church dedicated to St John the Baptist. This name is preserved by the city's football teams, St Johnstone F.C.
There has been a settlement at Perth since prehistoric times, on a natural mound raised slightly above the flood plain of the Tay, where the river could be crossed at low tide. The area surrounding the modern city is known to have been occupied since Mesolithic hunter-gatherers arrived more than 8,000 years ago. Nearby Neolithic standing stones and circles also exist, dating from about 4000 BC, following the introduction of farming in the area.
The presence of Scone Abbey, home of the Stone of Scone (also known as the Stone of Destiny) where the King of Scots was crowned, enhanced the early importance of the city. Perth became known as a 'capital' of Scotland, due to the frequent residence of the royal court. Royal Burgh status was soon given to the city by King William the Lion in the early 12th century. The city became one of the richest burghs in the country, doing trade with France, the Low Countries and Baltic Countries for goods such as Spanish silk and French wine. The Scottish Reformation also played a big role in the city with the sacking of the Houses of the Greyfriars and Blackfriars, after a sermon given by John Knox in St John's Kirk in 1559.
The Act of Settlement later brought about Jacobite uprisings. The city was occupied by Jacobite supporters on three occasions (1689, 1715 and 1745). The founding of Perth Academy in 1760 helped to bring major industries, such as linen, leather, bleach and whisky, to the city. Given its location, Perth was perfectly placed to become a key transport centre with the coming of the railways, and its first station was built in 1848.
Today, Perth serves as a retail centre for the surrounding area. Following the decline of the whisky industry locally, the city's economy has now diversified to include insurance and banking. Due to its location, the city is often referred to as the Gateway to the Highlands.
Перт — город в центральной части Шотландии. Административный центр округа Перт-энд-Кинросс (до 1975 г. — административный центр графства Пертшир).
Считается, что кельтское название Перт, означающее «лес» или «заросли», позволяет датировать его III—IX веками. Однако наличие к северу от Перта римского форта Берта даёт основание разрабатывать версию об основании города римлянами.
Археологические данные доказывают существование города в X веке, а первое летописное упоминание Перта относится к XII веку, когда хартией ему был пожалован статус города.
Впервые Пертшир приобрёл особую известность благодаря Кеннету Мак Алпину, который стал первым королём объединённой Шотландии в 838 году. Именно он привёз в соседний с Пертом Скон легендарный Камень Судьбы, на вершине которого с тех пор совершались все коронации. На этом месте выросло большое аббатство. И даже когда король Англии Эдуард I вывез священный камень в 1296 году, Скон оставался центром королевства, и это обстоятельство всячески благоприятствовало развитию и процветанию Перта.
14 марта 2012 года Перт вместе с городами Челмсфорд и Сент Асеф получил статус «сити» в честь празднования бриллиантового юбилея вступления на престол королевы Елизаветы II.

Bald sire and beardless son, each come, and early
Rise! rise! mainland and island men
Belt on your broadswords and fight for Prince Charlie
Down from the mountain steep, up from the valley deep
Out from the clachan, the bothy, and shieling
Bugle and battle drum bid chief and vassal come
Loudly our bagpipes the pibroch are pealing
Rise ! rise ! Lowland and Highland men

Belt on your broadswords and fight for Prince Charlie
Men of the mountains, descendants of heroes
Heirs of the fame and the hills of your fathers
Say, shall the Sassenach southron not fear us
When fierce to the war peal each plaided clan gathers
Long on the trophied walls of your ancestral halls
Rust hath been blunting the armour of Albin
Seize, then, ye mountain Macs, buckler and battle axe

When did the bonnet blue crest the disloyal?
Up, then, and crowd to the standard of Stuart
Follow your hero, the rightful, the royal
Come, Chief of Clan Ronald and gallant M'Donald
Come Lovat, Lochiel with the Grant and the Gordon
Rouse every kilted clan, rouse every loyal man
Musket on shoulder and thigh the broad sword on
Rise ! rise ! Lowland and Highland men
Bald sire and beardless son, each come, and early
Rise ! rise ! mainland and island men
Belt on your broadswords and fight for Prince Charlie

Adore the rising sun,
And leave a man undone, to his fate, to his fate.

Jamie of Mar Jacobite Song Perth Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland 4K travel video of John Davidson singing the Jamie of Mar jacobite song on visit to the museum in Perth, Perthshire.
Where o where is my man and his Prince ?
Where o where could they be ?
The battle of Culloden took place on Drumossie Moor on 16 April 1746.
The ancestors of the first family to use the name Mar lived among the ancient Scottish people called the Picts. The Mar family lived in a place called Mar, which was in the county of Aberdeen. It may come from the Old Norse word marr, which was an extremely rare word, that was usually associated with the sea, but sometimes referred to a marsh or a fen. In this sense, Mar would be a habitational name. The surname Mar has appeared as Marr, Mar, Marre, Mare and others. John Erskine Mar, born 1675, died 1732, was a Scottish Jacobite. John Mar met Bonnie Prince Charlie at Fetteresso; and Mar and the Prince fled to France, where he would spend the remainder of his life

The Battle of Killiecrankie was fought in 1689 in the first Jacobite Uprising in 1689, those in 1715 and 1745 are more well known. Casualties on both sides were considerable. John Graham of Claverhouse, Viscount Dundee, led the charge against General Hugh MacKay and won the day, but died in the battle.

Bonnie Dundee Jacobite Song Perth Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland 4K travel video of John Davidson singing the Bonnie Dundee Jacobite song on ancestry visit to the museum in Perth, Perthshire. John Graham, Viscount of Claverhouse, was regarded as Bonnie Dundee by his supporters and Bloody Clavers by his enemies. He reputedly saved the life of William of Orange while fighting on the continent and later earned his reputation repressing uprisings by the Covenanters. In fact, he urged moderation. He was made Viscount Dundee by King James VII in 1688 and fought for the Jacobite cause. He won a convincing victory at the battle of Killiecrankie in 1689 but died in the conflict.
Tae the lairds i' convention t'was Claverhouse spoke
E'er the Kings crown go down, there'll be crowns to be broke;
Then let each cavalier who loves honour and me,
Come follow the bonnet o' bonnie Dundee.
Chorus
Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can,
Saddle my horses and call out my men,
And it's Ho! for the west port and let us gae free,
And we'll follow the bonnets o' bonnie Dundee!
Dundee he is mounted, he rides doon the street,
The bells they ring backwards, the drums they are beat,
But the Provost, douce man, says Just e'en let him be,
For the toon is well rid of that de'il o' Dundee.
Chorus
There are hills beyond Pentland and lands beyond Forth,
Be there lairds i' the south, there are chiefs i' the north!
There are brave duniwassals, three thousand times three,
Will cry Hoy! for the bonnets o' bonnie Dundee.
Chorus
Then awa' to the hills, to the lea, to the rocks,
E'er I own a usurper, I'll couch wi' the fox!
Then tremble, false Whigs, in the midst o' your glee,
Ye ha' no seen the last o' my bonnets and me.
Chorus

This was part of a training weekend at the Castle, which on the frontier of Highland Aberdeenshire, was where thousands joined John Erskine, the Earl of Mar, in 1715 with the aim of restoring the ousted “Old Pretender” James Stuart to the throne of Scotland and England, raising the Jacobite Standard and starting the first Jacobite rebellion.
The News Frae Moidart Jacobite Song Perth Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland 4K travel video of John Davidson singing The News Frae Moidart jacobite song on ancestry visit to the museum in Perth, Perthshire. This Jacobite song about the landing of Bonnie Prince Charlie and the gathering of the clans was more than likely written by Carolina Oliphant also known as Lady Nairne was born into an aristocratic family at the Auld Hoose of Gask, Perthshire, on August 16th. She was the daughter of Laird Laurence Olipant who with Prince Charles fought during the Jacobite uprisings, and Margret Struan. She was a famous songstress who would continually veil her identity and sign her works with B.B. when they were being published like many other Scottish women writing at the time.
The news frae Moidart cam' yestreen,
Will soon gar monie ferlie;
For ships o' war hae just came in,
And landit Royal Charlie.
Chorus
Come thro' the heather, around him gather,

For wha'll be King but Charlie?
Come thro' the heather, around him gather,
Come Ronald come Donald, come a' thegither,
And crown your rightfu' lawfu' King!
For wha'll be King but Charlie?

But vows baith late an' early,
She'll ne'er to man gie her heart nor han',
Wha wadna fecht for Charlie.
Chorus
Then there's a health to Charlie's cause,
And be't complete an' early;
His very name our heart's blood warms;
To arms for Royal Charlie!
The Burning Of Strathearn Jacobite Song Perth Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland 4K travel video of John Davidson singing The Burning Of Strathearn jacobite song on ancestry visit to the museum in Perth, Perthshire. The Jacobites, retreating through Strathearn, burned many of the villages, inflicting great hardships on the peaceful inhabitants by rendering them houseless during the rigour of Winter. Strathearn or Strath Earn, from Scottish Gaelic: Srath Èireann, is the strath of the River Earn, in Scotland, extending from Loch Earn in the West to the River Tay in the east. The region formed a traditional province of Scotland, and hence had a mormaer and then an Earl. The province was bounded on the north by Atholl, north west by Breadalbane, south west by Menteith, south east by Fife, and on the east by Perth.
Winter Morning South Inch Park Perth Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video of South Inch Park on ancestry visit to Perth, Perthshire. South Inch is a low lying area of parkland which forms part of the flood plain of the River Tay immediately to the south of the centre of the Fair City of Perth, the South Inch is divided by the Edinburgh Road. The North and South Inches was granted to the Royal Burgh of Perth in 1374 by King Robert II, born 1316, died 1390. Lying outside the boundary of the medieval burgh, where trade and industry were strictly limited, the South Inch became a busy place, used as a bleachfield, for public cattle grazing, and horse racing was first recorded here in 1613. Cattle markets were moved here in 1785. Oliver Cromwell's army built a Citadel in the northeast corner of the South Inch after they captured Perth in 1651. In 1661, after the restoration of King Charles II, the Citadel was given to the city and parts were demolished. During the Risings of 1715 and 1745 the citadel was incorporated into the Jacobite defences of the town, and thereafter a cavalry barracks was built on the site.
Johnnie Cope Jacobite Song Perth Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland 4K travel video of John Davidson singing the Johnnie Cope jacobite song on ancestry visit to the museum in Perth, Perthshire. As the Jacobite army advanced south in 1745, a Hanoverian force, led by Sir John Cope, was in pursuit. Bonnie Prince Charlie reached Edinburgh first, however, and Cope assembled his troops to the south, at Prestonpans, waiting for reinforcements. But the wily Jacobite commander Lord George Murray circled round and launched a surprise attack early one morning and routed the government forces, some say in less than 15 minutes. This Jacobite song recalls this famous victory.
Chorus
Hey, Johnnie Cope, are ye wauking yet?
Or are your drums a-beating yet?
If ye were wauking I wad wait
To gang to the coals i' the morning.
Cope sent a challenge frae Dunbar:
'Charlie, meet me an' ye daur,
An' I'll learn you the art o' war
If you'll meet me i' the morning.'
Chorus
When Charlie looked the letter upon
He drew his sword the scabbard from:
'Come, follow me, my merry merry men,
And we'll meet Johnnie Cope i' the morningl
Chorus
'Now Johnnie, be as good's your word;
Come, let us try both fire and sword;
And dinna rin like a frichted bird,
That's chased frae its nest i' the morning.'
Chorus
When Johnnie Cope he heard of this,
He thought it wadna be amiss
To hae a horse in readiness,
To flee awa' i' the morning.
Chorus
Fy now, Johnnie, get up an' rin;
The Highland bagpipes mak' a din;
It's best to sleep in a hale skin,
For 'twill be a bluidy morning.
Chorus
When Johnnie Cope tae Dunbar came,
They speired at him, 'Where's a' your men?'
'The deil confound me gin I ken,
For I left them a' i' the morning.
Chorus
'Now Johnnie, troth, ye werena blate
To come wi' news o' your ain defeat,
And leave your men in sic a strait
Sae early in the morning.
Chorus
'I' faith,' quo' Johnnie, 'I got sic flegs
Wi' their claymores an' philabegs;
If I face them again, deil break my legs!
Sae I wish you a' gude morning'.

Blue Bonnets Over the Border Jacobite Song Perth Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland 4K travel video of John Davidson singing the Blue Bonnets Over the Border song on visit to the museum in Perth, Perthshire. Sir Walter Scott was steeped in the history of the Scottish Borders country where he lived for a large part of his life. This is one of his rousing, Border marching songs. One night in December 1748, over two years after the failure of the 1745 Jacobite rising, someone scaled the Edinburgh Parliament House and dressed the lion in the Scottish royal arms in a white wig, blue bonnet, and large white cockade.
March, march, Ettrick and Teviotdale,
Why the deil dinna ye march forward in order?
March, march, Eskdale and Liddesdale,
All the Blue Bonnets are bound for the Border.
Many a banner spread
Flutters above your head,
Many a crest that is famous in story.
Mount and make ready then,
Sons of the mountain glen,
Fight for the Queen and the old Scottish glory.
Come from the hills where your hirsels are grazing,
Come from the glen of the buck and the roe;
Come to the crag where the beacon is blazing,
Come with the buckler, the lance, and the bow.
Trumpets are sounding,
War steeds are bounding,
Stand to your arms then, and march in good order;
England shall many a day
Tell of the bloody fray,
When the Blue Bonnets came over the Border.
It was the bonnet's blue colour, as well as, perhaps, its Lowland and peasant origins, that influenced its adoption as a badge of the Covenanters and eventually the Jacobites, who used blue to distinguish themselves from their Royalist opponents and their red cockades and ribbons. During the 18th century the bonnet was, to outsiders, the most readily identifiable Scottish piece of clothing in the popular imagination.
The Destruction of Killiecrankie Battlefield
Here are the details of the planned destruction of Killiecrankie Battlefield, by Transport Scotland. We show their marker pegs on the battlefield. This is the first time we can see on the ground where the new A9 carriageway go.
We walk you along the battle line of the Scottish Government Battalions. Show you the 'killing fields' where many of the 2,000 Jacobite clansmen and government troops died that day, 27th July 1689.
How Transport Scotland plan to obliterate that land for ever.
We explain in detail where some of the most intense fighting took place and how the proposals will prevent future generations from understanding this important Jacobite battle.
We need your help to get the Scottish Government and the First Minister in particular to stop this destruction. Scottish Government hold all the powers to stop this destruction.
Please tell them to stop the destruction of our Scottish Jacobite History at Killiecrankie Battlefield by:-

Autumn Road Trip Drive To Cathedral Park Dunkeld Highland Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland Autumn travel video of cloudy road trip drive North on the A9 road, with Scottish music, to the Cathedral Park on ancestry visit to Dunkeld, Highland Perthshire. The area around Dunkeld Cathedral has not always been a park, up until 1689 the town was built around the Cathedral. During the Battle of Dunkeld 1689, the conflict between the Jacobites and the government, the town was destroyed with most of the houses being burnt to the ground. Holes made by musket ball strikes during the battle can still be seen in the walls of the Cathedral. The Dukes of Atholl took this opportunity to rebuilt the town away from the Cathedral so they could enjoyed uninterrupted views from their house to the Cathedral. The A9 is a major road running from central Scotland to Scrabster Harbour, Thurso in the far north, via Stirling, Bridge of Allan, Perth and Inverness. At 273 miles, it is the longest road in Scotland and the fifth longest A road in the United Kingdom. Historically it was the main road between Edinburgh and John o' Groats, and has been called the spine of Scotland. Drive with great care and patience on this road as it regularly appears in lists of Scotland's most dangerous roads.
