    Non-Jacobite Songs from the Rising?

    The '45 has been immortalized in song. I've heard many romantic Jacobite songs singing the praises of Bonnie Prince Charlie and his supporters, but I don't believe I've heard too many songs from the other side. Perhaps "Ye Jacobites by Name" is the only one. Are there others?

    Re: Non-Jacobite Songs from the Rising?

    The one you mentioned is the only one I can come up with off the top of my head. Unfortunately, just like the pipe tunes, the vast majority of the songs about the event were written quite some time after the fact.
    All skill and effort is to no avail when an angel pees down your drones.

    Does "God Save the King" qualify?

    Rebellious Scots to crush and all that. God grant that Marshall Wade?
