A Brief history lesson on the Jacobites -

After James II was deposed in 1688 and replaced by his daughter Mary II, ruling jointly with her husband and first cousin (James's nephew) William III, the Stuarts lived in exile, occasionally attempting to regain the throne. The strongholds of Jacobitism were parts of the Scottish Highlands and the lowland north-east of Scotland, Ireland, and parts of Northern England (mostly within the counties of Northumberland and Lancashire). Significant support also existed in Wales and South-West England.

The Jacobites believed that parliamentary interference with the line of succession to the English and Scottish thrones was illegal. Catholics also hoped the Stuarts would end recusancy. In Scotland, the Jacobite cause became intertwined with the last throes of the warrior clan system.

The emblem of the Jacobites is the White Cockade. White Rose Day is celebrated on 10 June, the anniversary of the birth of the Old Pretender in 1688.

"Wha'll Be King But Charlie", also known as "The News From Moidart", is a Scottish folk song about the Jacobite rising of 1745, written by Carolina Nairne in support of Charles Edward Stuart (also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie) some time in the late 1700s. It is sung to the tune of "The Tidy Woman", an Irish jig.

"The news fae Moidart cam yestreen
Will soon gar mony ferlie
For ships o war hae just come in
And landed Royal Charlie

Come through the heather, around him gather
Ye're a the welcomer early
Around him cling wi a your kin
For wha'll be King but Charlie?

Come through the heather, around him gather
Come Ronald, come Donald, come a together
And crown your rightfu lawfu King
For wha'll be King but Charlie?"
