Blàr Chùil Lodair - the Battle of Culloden

16th April 1746 The day a country ceased to exist British Army, Hanoverian scum Defeated our Jacobite's Scotland is on the run Our Tartans banished, bagpipes no more To lead our troops, to frighten the foe Cumberland's men hunt us down In every village and every town Massacred, slaughtered Wiped from our earth Erased from the country of our birth 2000 men died to fight for their right Against the British Armies might Cameron's MacDonald's and Fraser's slain Many other Clans, population drained The survivors facing Hanoverian bans Led to The Scattering of the Clans The Clan Chiefs lands, vast and many Asset stripped, taken by the enemy Alleged traitors tried, treason their crime As Hanoverian Scum, on our riches dine In the aftermath, many Scots left their shores To distant lands to open new doors Many writers on here On their Ancestors scan You may be here, because of The Scattering Of The Clans http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/scotland.php
