Will Ye Gan Tae Sheriffmuir Jacobite Song Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K travel video of John Davidson singing Will Ye Gan Tae Sheriffmuir jacobite song on ancestry visit to the museum in Perth, Perthshire. Whilst most of this song celebrates the Jacobites involved in the battle and uses typical military themes, the third verse displays the Jacobite animosity towards the Whigs, Presbyterianism and that religion’s strict morality. Transgressors were publicly chastised in church while sitting on the 18th century’s version of the naughty.
