4 ~~~ ♫ Scottish Bagpipes - The Campbells Are Coming ♫ ~~~ The Campbells were one of the most powerful clans in Scotland.
Robert Burns took the start of a Jacobite song about the Campbells joining the fray
but then alludes to Mary Queen of Scots at Lochleven Castle (where she was imprisoned in 1567).
"Great Argyle" ( a Campbell) was the 5th Earl who rescued her from there.

5 ~~~ ♫ Scottish Gaelic Music - Ba Mo Leanabh ♫ ~~~ A sad but very beautiful lullaby. After the execution of the Clan Chief MacGregor of Glenstrae in 1570, his widow composed and sang this lullaby lament to her child. There exist several versions of this song, more commonly heard as Griogal Cridhe (Beloved Gregor). Here is the english translation of the text, originally in Gàidhlig (scottish gaelic):
Oh hush-a-bye, my little baby Hush, my little baby, hush
Oh hush-a-bye, my little baby
My own little baby will go to sleep
Though I am without a flock of sheep
And the others all have sheep
Though I am without a flock of sheep
You, little baby, can go to sleep
Darling, of the people of the great world
They spilt your blood yesterday
They put your head on an oaken post
A little way from your corpse
I breathlessly climbed the great mountain
I climbed and I descended
I would put the hair of my head under your feet
And the skin of my two hands.

Lyrics
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomon'
Where me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'
O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'
'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomon'
Where in the purple hue the Hieland hills we view,
An' the moon comin' out in the gloamin'
O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'
The wee birdies sing and the wild flow'rs spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleepin'
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again,
Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'
O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon' |
