Lot's of people on this thread seem to think this is a first world war recruiting song, and the video which accompanies it indicates the same. In fact it refers to either the Napoleonic War or a seventeenth or eighteenth century war (references to Spain which took no part in the First World War show this).

My son just enlisted in the US Marines, came out of boot camp, and in between he came home and had to work with the recruiters until he shipped out to combat training......this song got stuck in my head and I would sing it to him....he HATED doing it, while making an excellent Marine, he was no salesman and wasn't going to BS anybody, LOL!! (But he DID look awesome in his uniform, albiet not a kilt and a feathered bonnet!)....Semper Fi!

Pretty sure the Black Watch lads used to sing this song themselves. If it was considered bad for morale, they probably would have been banned from doing so. It's a rousing auld Scottish sodger's song, part of the martial Scottish tradition. It has nothing to do with modern politics i.e. there was no unionist/nationalist split in Scottish politics when this song was written - more likely a Whig/Tory split! This song, unless I am very much mistaken, is older than the Conservative and Liberal Parties, let alone Labour or the SNP. It is not about modern day politics, but it is a part of our heritage.

@@mjxw The Corries wrote and performed uplifting songs as well as melancholy ones. I think you are being misled by the video. Just listen to the words and the sound of the music: there is nothing melancholy about this lively folk song. For many war is an adventure and this song encapsulates the spirit of adventure with which many Scots enlisted to fight with the Black Watch in the Austrian War of Succession and many other wars besides. The song is sung from the point of view of a Black Watch recruiting sergeant encouraging young lads to join up and see the world. Nothing very sentimental or thought-provoking about this particular folk song. Just a spirit of adventure, nothing more. For a wistful, homesick folk song from a Scottish soldier's perspective from the same sort of era, try 'Lochaber No More'.
