From Wikipedia:
Цитата:The defeat at Cromdale effectively ended the rebellion in Scotland. Nevertheless, Jacobite propagandists declared the action a victory for the royalist forces, and composed a popular song to promote that viewpoint. It is listed in James Hogg's Jacobite Reliques as song number 2...
... Strangely, the hero of the song, James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose, died forty years before the battle took place. The tune has remained popular, and is still played by pipe bands.
The sky is blue, water is wet, women have secrets. Who gives a fuck?
