Ah the Corries, they were in a one night gig in Largs a small resort on the mid west of Scotland. Their gig was in the hall right next to a hotel. Where I and my my mum and dad were staying on holiday for a week. Their gig was on the last night of our holidays, and i wanted to see them live. I tried to get both parents in and my dad joined me, both of us enjoyed it. There was only them on with the stage littered with musical instruments. It was if they were playing just for you in a small place, brilliant stuff. I think we must have been probably the only English people in their but we both enjoyed it.

I was listening to the Ian Campbell version of "Baron O'Brackley" (superb) based on a real incident and subsequently found it was based on 2 incidents 80 years apart and the wife was respectably married to a Dr a few years later! So please enjoy it as a cracking song and leave the history lessons to other sites.

And he said to me: "Haughs of Cromdale"....! I have here about 6 CD's of the Corries. The Corries will lead Scotlland to be a nation once again. As the time has come now! go and make a Nation Once Again. England ist on the loose!

"We were in bed, sir, every man, When the English host upon us cam; A bloody battle then began Upon the Haughs of Cromdale.

T Hus the great Montrose did say: Hi'land man show me the way I will over the hills this day, To view the Haughs of Cromdale."

The song also mentions Montrose who fought in the English Civil War, and died 41 years before the battle of Cromdale. Oliver Cromwell is also mentioned at the end of the song as being defeated by Montrose. So its like the name of a Jacobite battle is used to describe events of the English Civil War 40 years earlier.

Was Montrose there? nope.. but who is to say the song is referring to only one time period? Burns was creative..he gets respect

@Traitorfish Not that 'Scots Wha Hae' was a Jacobite song. The period it alludes to is about 400 years earler. Cromdale is a good song but the lyrics make little sense. The real battle was Scot v Scot in the first Jacobite Rising. Yet this song seems to be about a battle between an army led by Montrose and a Cromwellian English army. Never happened - and if it did it wouldn't be a Jacobite song! Those guys lived about 50 years before the first Jacobite Rebellion.

The song mentions English, wrong. This was 30 April - 1 May 1690 and it was a Scottish Government Army who dispatched the Jacobite/Stuart Clans and cleared the field of the rebellious Clans. You’d think the Corries would have tried to sing ‘accurate’ songs of Scots battles rather than anti English propaganda. Sad.

basically the first two and a half verses of the song which describe the Jacobite defeat at Cromdale in 1690 make sense except it says the enemy were English which they weren't. It was the Scottish gvt army which defeated the Jacobites. The rest of the song is completely made up. It suggests that Montrose rallies the defeated and raises another army which defeats the English army led by Cromwell. Both Montrose and Cromwell had been dead for half a century and no such battle took place between
