They marched through there to get to Killiekrankie but all you see of Killiekrankie is the town sign in the video. The clip is great, just the same. Part of it appears on the DVD of the BBC series from 1987 and the YT video of Ronnie's TV tribute to Roy.

I am an American of Irish ancestry, of the McCarthy clan, 58 yrs old.... I grew up as a kid listening to the Beatles etc...and played in rock and roll bands as a teen youth....and I just LOVE THIS MUSIC SO SO MUCH ....I feel it in my heart ...I cry whenever I hear the Corries sing these old songs....(so many of the Scot's songs are so sad)......so beautiful, it touches me right into my heart.... perhaps I had some ancient connections of my ancestral past to the Scots....because I sure do identify with these songs...The way the Corries sing them is truly magical too...It would be so GREAT if a couple young guys in Scotland, who were good singers too, were to take up the guitar and learn all these old songs , and continue this wonderful traditional sound to keep it alive....and not let it fade into the mists of time....

My ancestors were Irish. They fled Co. Fermanagh in 1840 for Australia. Even though I am 4th generation Australian, the old country is like a mother, calling me home. My heart and soul belong in Ireland.

This video is good in so many ways, as it spotlights the Corries' special talents. First the pipes and Ronnie's wistful voice sets a melancholy mood that is reinforced by Roy's gentle echoes. Then, underscored by the guitars, the pace picks up and Roy's lyrical and lilting tone, joined by Ronnie's subtle harmony, warms the listener's heart. A breeze is blowing and all is well with the world.

I lived in Dublin for most of the 70’s. I married my husband because I loved him more than I loved Ireland, but it was a toss up. Nearly 50 years later, my heart still longs for Dublin. I wish I could have both.

scotland is everything. scotland is all It is all we believe in.Scotlands is the land of all the people, from all over the world, who still believe in Honour, glory, humanity, tradition, joy of music, poetry, romanticism, true love. Scotland is Scotland. The finest land in the world along with Tuscany (not Italy). Scotland is what I miss everyday when Iam not there, in Islay or Inverness or Kyle of Lochalsh or Portree or Ballater or wherever. Scotland is where all the pure hearts belong.

Pease tell this truth to today's neo-Marxist Scottish so-called "poets" who look to Paris and Moscow for their socialist utopias and who generally believe that Scotland is just another "systemically racist" society that needs vanish into the European Union.

Yes , I do too, always have. My people have been gone from there for over a century, but still I am drawn there.

I'm completely English and grew up as a fat little kid with an English accent just North of Glasgow: it didn't make me popular, but it taught me me never to judge people on anything but their capacity for compassion. I also absorbed a love of language, an anarchic passion for life, a sense of social justice and - possibly - a certain sentimentalism. I should probably judge all places equally, but Scotland will always be deep in my soul and the source of much of the best in me. I grew up listening to The Corries and all I have to say is; "Don't be Scunners" ;-)

Charlie didnt crack. It was, as usual, a squabble among the Chieftain's at Derby! Charlie wanted to keep going, they said no and went up to Culloden. Where once again, another squabble over who would get the side of honor in the rank's which ruined any advantage to be had. This is why those men stood there for an hour until one of the Chieftain's officer's had had enough and charged. And I'm positive Charlie was forced to leave by his loyal staff.

I was a proud Scot prior to finding the Corries , iam no less proud , but alot better informed , these are history lessons we never got at school. Sadly missed and as yet their place in musical story telling has still to be filled. Prosperity to Scotland and No Union.

Not only that, but many dreadful things done to Scots in Scotland were in fact perpetrated by fellow Scots. The massacre at Glencoe was carried out by Scottish troops, the Killing Times were mostly carried out by Scottish troops & don't presume the Highland clansmen weren't averse to commit the ocassional war crime either. There were Scots on both sides at Culloden. Many of the landlords responsible for the Clearances were in fact Scots. People use the English as a scapegoat far too often.
