Charles Edward Stuart lived from 31 December 1720 to 31 January 1788. He is better remembered as "Bonnie Prince Charlie" or "The Young Pretender". In a life of 67 years he spent just 14 months in Scotland and England in the fruitless pursuit of his family's claim to the crowns of England, Scotland and Ireland. But during that brief visit he set in train a series of events that were to destroy the traditional Highland way of life forever.

Soundtrack: "Wha'll be King but Cherlie?" - Silly Wizard ("A Glint of Silver").

Video excerpts: "Battlefield Britain" and "Culloden".

I am proud to be descended from Scots who lived on The Black Isle and settled in Nova Scotia after the American Revolution. Fishermen and schooner captains we were. On Georgia's Banks we made our living and to the sea we gave our lives. Forbes of Nova Scotia

Liam Neeson should do another Jacobite era movie.Only this time he should put his particular set of skills to use.

What about those damned Hanoverians? I am a latter-day Jacobite mostly because of those stupid Germans. I only have the Corries' version of this song but SW's is even better. I thought I had all the SW recordings but I don't know where this one came from. Love the battle sounds in the background. The 250th Culloden commemoration in 1996 was just breathtaking and I'll never forget it. I wonder how the TV Outlander series will treat the Prince and his time at the French Court. I also wonder how history would have been different if we didn't have to suffer the three Georges and their descendants. I believe Princess Diana was a Stewart by blood and, therefore, so is William and his baby, George. Will the Stewarts be "restored"?

Regardless of the history Silly Wizard's masterful rendition of this unparalleled war song has thrilled me here for decades. Makes me want to put in a kilt, get me sword and go after the damned Brits! :-)

I'm Canadian not Catholic and I know the way this Rebellion turned out was probably for the better but this song still stairs my blood! {Just to be clear I'm still very proud of my Scottish heritage.}

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), the Jacobites needed a much more able leader than Charlie if they were to have any hope of succeeding in their ultimate goal. They had one in Lord George Murray, but Charlie's ego was too inflated and he wouldn't listen to the former's much better judgement. The very slim silver lining that directly came out of the tragedy of Culloden was that Scotland was blessed with an outpouring of incredible music, but the romanticism surrounding the "Bonnie Prince" does a grave disservice to his inept leadership abilities and (more importantly) to the brave souls who needlessly laid down their lives in defence of his lost cause.

Bonnie Prince Charlie, one of the greatest but failed hero's in British History! Fighting against insurmountable odds and installing a sense of courage, belief and identity in all of his followers! How different the world would be today if he had succeeded. Likely that America would have been a British colony for at least another century and would have more in common with France the Britain. In fact French would in all likelihood be the first language in America. It's also probable that World War 1 and World War 2 would never have taken place and the Communist Russia may never have been formed!

I do not like battle scenes where horses are involved. Poor horses. Lets abolish using horses as actors. You can use realistic looking animation.
