This song stirs my ancient Celtic blood.. and i am fortunate to have seen Makem & Clancy in concert, God rest their souls.

Beautiful...I just returned from my first trip to Scotland & visited the Battlefield of Culloden... I played my pipes when there in memory of the brave souls who fought in the battle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙🎶

I had this on vinyl, a long time ago ... still love this pairing of great talent ... Makem and Clancy are immortal through their music ...

My Aunt Nell used take my sisters and I to see their concerts in the Opera House in Cork. I can only have been very small but still I wasn't too young to feel the intensity of the music. They remain to this day, the best concerts I was ever all.

As a Cape Breton Highland Scot, this song makes me want to acquire a Claymore.

I have one. It's very nice.🙂

The music teaches us the history and makes us so proud of the ones who came before us. The ones who make us who we are today. I sing the songs for my great. Grand. Children.

My God this brings back memories.... this song quite important for me because it helped me define myself as a Scot growing up in England. I've been looking for it for years. Soar Alba!

We are celtic Irish and Scotts men very similar in every way

Very nice banjo playing! RIP Liam and Tommy.

I love this music. That's all I can say. WE need to hear more of it

Soon I will be going to Scotland to find a few Highland Ghosts at Culloden's Moor. Inspired by many ancestors and this song.

This was recorded a month before I was born. I grew up listening to the Clancys and Tommy Makem, and never heard this song until a few weeks ago. Amazing. I wonder what other music they did that I haven't heard yet. Can't wait to find out!

this was a new one on me- these clips keep appearing out of the woodwork simply awesome!

I saw Tommy and Liam do this song live in concert back in 1977 in Bedford, NH

273 years ago today. Sound the pibroch loud and high!

Beautiful

Always a deeply moving version.

It gets better every time I listen.

An Irish group singing about a Scottish disaster. What a nice job they do of it, too. Fellow Celts all. Culloden was the end of an old song. There's signs we're rising again, though, and one day might be free of English rule.

Here we go....a bit compressed on the history but but but ....but thank you from the bottom of this bleeding Scottish heart.

This was my favorite song as a kid. AWESOME !!!!!

The battle of Culloden lasted only 40 minutes and was a bitter defeat for the heavily outnumbered Jacobites. Some 1,000 of the Young Pretender’s army of 5,000 weak and starving Highlanders were killed by the 9,000 Redcoats, who lost only 50 men. The devastating slaughter of the Jacobites was the result of the opening British cannonade and subsequent tactics of the Redcoats during the attack of the Highlanders, when each British soldier, instead of attacking the Highlander directly in front of him, bayoneted the exposed side of the man to his right. The Highlanders finally broke and fled, and a further 1,000 more were killed in subsequent weeks of hounding by British troops. Hunted by troops and spies, Prince Charles wandered over Scotland for five months before escaping to France and final exile.

Majestic! Thank you Liam and Tommy!

Great singers I worked with highlanders in scotland we had so much in comman great workers and loved a good dram

That was around the time my family came over from Scotland to canada and changed their names. i guess now i know why.

The bravest and most gallant warriors were of Scottish gaelic stock. May their history and sacrifice never be forgotten. Alba gu brath

We havent died. There are just very few of us. My husband is a native speaker from Uist. Im a native speaker myself. We both fought in Bosnia iraq and Afghanistan. My husband was kia.

My kin was at this battle.

we are rising once more. 800 years is too long, our day will come.

Good version, another beauty is the version by The Corries, Roy and Ronnie so gentle voiced ideal.

proud Scottish ancestor of this great battle

Wonderful..!!

Remember Flodden when the Scots under their king invaded England (yet again) and were slaughtered, with the King and most of his nobility killed in battle. Nobody sings about that one...!

As an Albanian, I see myself as an Illyrian, and I regard you Irish as Celtic brothers. In my years of part time research, I have found great similarities in our cultures, and I have nothing but respect for your music, culture, history and cider :D Health and prosperity to you all Irish brothers and sisters!

There is a bridge hand named after the Duke of Cumberland. Declarer can make a grand slam, against any lead, with only 5 HCP between his hand and dummy.

Alba cough brag!!! My ancestors fought in the mixed Clans

I love this song! But I must say: "Duke of Cumberland' is actually = _The Evil Duke of Sutherland_ And his assistant *Patrick Sellar* are reviled in Highland Scotland Any songs we can sing to expose such atrocities = good things to come

Well I am American and proud of it. By the way genetics scientists now say that the Irish and Scots are one genetic people. Guess you have to toss in the Vikings who settled the whole North of Scotland and most areas by the sea. I checked records and found ancestors in half the clans of Scotland. You can tell the class of a person by their greeting. Character is Destiny, Malcolm Wallace,Robert The Bruce,King James of Scotland are all my ancestors. Rebel Strong American Strong.

Long live the jacobites

John Allan Cameron sang this as well

Hatchen foam mean rise and follow

May have fought with my ancestors, they (about 200) came from West Cork as mercenaries and fought for the Bonny Prince at Culloden. They left young families behind and fought to the last man and last bullet, refusing to yield the field. I got this info from a BBC doc, it had been forgotten by those left behind. I was proud to learn how they never surrendered and fought to the last to set our Scotish brothers free. Greetings to you from Ireland, Alba agus Erin go brágh

I always wonder about why truth seems to cause people to attack you. You said calm down. Charles Stuart is my 5th cousin, 8 generations removed. What's Charley to you. You like your country, I like mine. Diana Princess of Wales had 51 ancestors at Flodden. I don't have as many but tomorrow I'll fly the Saltire and the Lion of Scotland. My people have been in the army and navy ever generation. Things have changed, but we remember.

great song!! check them out singing o'donnell abu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

likewise bluesmills.

God, I love this song, and a rousing rendition. His history is a wee bit mixed up though, the clearances when the landowners wanted the highlanders off the land for sheep were a hundred years after this battle and the army wasn't just highlanders, there were lowland scots, Irish, French and even a few Englishmen!

The battle of Culloden is always over-simplified, It wax NOT simply the English against the Scots. The politics were very complicated, Besides, Bonnie Prince Charlie ended up as a degenerate alcoholic in France.

​@@murryjcohenIt was in Italy not in France. He was deported out of France. And his situation was the product of depression heck we have accounts of him spending months alone in his room just drink alcohol and coming out just to eat or go to parties where he drank alcohol like water, he became a very depressed man, because of guilt and hopeless for the situation of the Jacobite cause, but his final years were alcohol free.

Does anyone know the chords to this specific version???? I can't find them ANYWHERE! Thanks!

My dad used to play this in the 1980s after a few bevvies which was most weekends. Written by a Scottish lady no less en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnes_Maxwell_MacLeod

One of those songs, though they are not Scottish, that was so made for Makem and Clancy. Wonderful stuff.

I'm guessing this was a Canadian audience as they didn't need to explain where Nova Scotia is. Also they paid their siller to hear the music not sing themselves or holler like lunatics.

The best version of this scottish sound!

A wee bit confused history but good song .

Never critisize your current audience , ' your not as good as the people in Galway ! that was a dumb thing to say ,Liam !

@lvedepo LOoks like fret fourth fret and play C

I have to tell you this bit the history is all wrong, ask a Scot.

Looks like fret fourth fret and play C

Not as good as the Corries

The song starts at 2:40 if you want to listen to it instead of Clancy's blather.
