Scottish Lament

2009-04-24T11:26:00.001+01:00

Scottish Lament. Flora Macdonald's Lament
Far over yon hills of the heather sae green
An' doun by the corrie that sings to the sea,
The bonnie young Flora sat sighin' her lane,
The dew on her plaid an' the tear in her e'e.
She look'd at a boat wi' the breezes that swung,
Away on the wave like a bird on the main,
An' aye as it lessen'd she sigh'd an' she sung,
"Fareweel to the lad I shall ne'er see again;
Fareweel to my hero, the gallant and young,
Fareweel to the lad I shall ne'er see again."

The moorcock that crows on the brows o' Ben Connal,
He kens o' his bed in a sweet mossy hame;
The eagle that soars o'er the cliffs o' Clan Ranald,
Unaw'd and unhunted his eyrie can claim;
The solan can sleep on the shelves of the shore,
The cormorant roost on his rock of the sea;
But ah! there is one whose fate I deplore,
Nor house, ha' nor hame in this country has he;
The conflict is past, and our name is no more,
There's nought left but sorrow for Scotland and me.

The target is torn from the arm of the just,
The helmet is cleft on the brow of the brave;
The claymore forever in darkness must rust,
But red is the sword of the stranger and slave;
The hoof of the horse, and the foot of the proud,
Have trod o'er the plumes on the bonnet of blue;
Why slept the red bolt in the breast of the cloud,
When tyranny revell'd in blood of the true?
Fareweel my young hero, the gallant and good,
The crown of thy father's is torn from thy brow.

Meaning of unusual words:
corrie=hollow on the side of a mountain or between mountains
kens=knows
solan=gannet

Scottish Song Annie Laurie

2009-04-06T10:24:00.003+01:00

Scottish Song Annie Laurie. Annie Laurie is an old Scottish song based on poem by William Douglas (1672 to 1748) of Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The words were modified and the tune was added by Alicia Scott in 1834/5. The song is also known as Maxwelton Braes. William Douglas became a soldier in the Royal Scots and fought in Germany and Spain and rose to the rank of captain. He also fought at least two duels. He returned to his estate at Fingland in 1694. Traditionally it is said that Douglas had a romance with Anna, or Anne Laurie (16th December 1682 — 1761). Anna was the youngest daughter of Robert Laurie, who became first baronet of Maxwelton in 1685. The legend says that her father opposed a marriage. This may have been because Anna was very young; she was only in her mid-teens when her father died. It may also have been because of Douglas's aggressive temperament or more likely because of his Jacobite allegiances. It is known for certain that they knew of each because in a later letter by Anna she says in reply to news about Douglas "I trust that he has forsaken his treasonable opinions, and that he is content."

Douglas recovered from this romance and eloped with a Lanarkshire heiress, Elizabeth Clerk of Glenboig. They married in Edinburgh in 1706. Douglas's political beliefs forced him into exile. He became a mercenary soldier and sold his estate at Fingland in the 1720s, though eventually he received a pardon. Download Scottish Music.

Scottish Veteran Buried In New Zealand

2009-03-13T15:18:00.000Z

Scottish Veteran Buried In New Zealand.

I am trying to acquire information on a Glasgow born American Civil War veteran (1861-1865) who died and was buried in New Zealand. John Scott was supposedly born about 1828, near Glasgow, Scotland, was a leading engineer of vessels sailing between Glasgow and Londonderry, married Ann Hamilton, on December 17, 1852, had several children, 1861 census of Scotland is said to show Ann residing at 10 Finnieston Street, Glasgow, together with her three sons, Thomas, Robert and John. John Scott was serving as second engineer aboard the wooden hulled side wheeled steamer the Douglas, later re-named the Margaret and Jessie, which was to be used in the blockade running trade with the Confederate States.. This vessel, although constructed in Glasgow, in 1858, was purchased by the well known firm of Fraser, Trenholm and Company, who acted as agents for the Confederate States in the acquisition of vessels for the war effort.

On June 9, 1905, John Scott died in Dunedin, New Zealand leaving his widow and six surviving children and was buried in the Northern Cemetery in Dunedin, New Zealand.

If I can confirm what I have been given, he will be added to the Veterans Memorial Website, www.acwv.info.

All help will be greatly appreciated.

Scottish Skirlie In The Pan

2009-03-09T16:50:00.000Z

Scottish Skirlie In The Pan. This was originally a cheap, sustaining Scottish meal served with Chappit Tatties and a glass of milk. It was often a Saturday dish when mothers had a day off. It makes a good stuffing for chicken and also is often served as an accompaniment to game birds or roast meats. Sometimes water is added and there is a great variety in the type of fat used. In this area they favour beef or mutton suet. Skirl means 'loud noise'.

2 oz suet (50 g)
6 oz medium oatmeal (175 g)
1-2 medium onions, finely chopped
Salt and pepper

Chop the suet finely and put into a heated frying pan. When it is thoroughly melted, add onions and brown them well. Add enough oatmeal to absorb the fat and make a fairly thick mixture. Season well and cook for a few minutes. Serve with meat or game either roasted or stewed. Scottish Cooking.

Best Scottish Marmalade Recipe

2009-03-06T20:02:00.001Z

Best Scottish Marmalade Recipe.

To make a Marmalade of Oranges. Take your oranges, grate them, cut them in quarters, take the skins off them, and take the pulp from the strings and seeds; put the skins in a pan of spring-water. Boil them till they are very tender, then take them out of the water, and cut them in very thin slices; beat some in a marble mortar, and leave the thin slices to boil by themselves. To every pound of oranges put a pound of fine sugar; first wet the sugar in water, boil it a good while, then put in half of the pulp, keep the other half for the sliced oranges. To every Mutchkin of the pulp you must put in a pound of sugar likeways, then put in the grated rind. Boil till it is very clear, then put in Gallypots; when cold paper them.

It may have been this recipe, or one very similar, which was handed down from one Mrs Keiller to the next throughout the 18th century. As a centre of the preserving industry in Scotland, Dundee was the natural place for marmalade making to flourish. From the beginnings here have developed many modern varieties of many different flavours and textures. There are thick and thin ones. vintage varieties, some with whisky, as well as tangerine, lime and lemon ones.

Best Scottish Pie Recipe

2009-03-05T19:35:00.001Z

Best Scottish Pie Recipe. Best Scotch Pie.

These small mutton pies, with their crust standing up round them about half an inch above the filling, were always a very popular fastfood for working people in Glasgow. They are still to be found in all bakers shops there, though they are not so easy to find now in some other parts of Scotland. The rim above the meat was often filled with hot gravy, peas or beans and a spoonful of potato to make a
complete meal. They are always served piping hot. Bakers keep them in a hot cupboard as they are not good cold. There used to be an establishment in the Candleriggs run by an old Glasgow character, Grannie Black, which was renowned far
and wide for its 'Twopenny Mutton Pies'.

For the filling -
Half Ib minced lean mutton (250 g)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
Half oz lard (12 g)
Half pt water (300 ml)
1 tbsp chopped parsley
Half level tsp salt
Quarter level tsp pepper
1 dsp flour

For the pastry -
2 oz beef dripping (50 g)
Quarter pt water (150 ml)
8 oz plain flour (250 g)
Half level tsp salt

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C or gas mark 4.
To make the filling, melt the lard in a pan and add the onion, then fry gently till cooked - but not brown.
Now add the mince and break up with a fork till it is all separated. Add water and cook for 15-20 minutes.
Now stir in the flour to thicken.
Add the seasoning and parsley and leave to cool.
Make up the pastry by melting the dripping in a pan with water. Bring to the boil.

Meanwhile sift the flour and salt into a bowl and make a well in the centre.
Pour in the liquid and mix together with a knife until it is cool enough to handle.
Knead into a soft, pliable dough and remove one-third of it for the lids, then put in a warm place to keep soft.
Divide the rest into 6 pieces, depending on the size of the pies.
They are usually about 3 to 3 and a half inches (7.5-8.5 cm) in diameter by 1 and a quarter to 1and a half inches deep (3-4 cm) with a half inch (1 cm) rim of pastry standing up above the lid.
Roll out the six rounds and fit into pie rings or tins. The pastry should be fairly thin.
Fill with meat and then roll out the lids.
Cut a small circle out of each lid for the steam to escape through and place on top of meat mixture.
Bake for 40-45 minutes. Scottish Cooking.

Scottish Edinburgh Rock

2009-03-04T19:32:00.002Z

Scottish Edinburgh Rock.

The Scottish confectionery industry is probably best known for its Edinburgh Rock. This is not the customary solid stick with letters down the centre but a light, pastel-coloured sugary confection, delicately flavoured, which requires a certain amount of care and dexterity in the making. It was discovered by accident when Alexander Fergusson, popularly known as 'Sweetie Sandy' came across a piece of confectionery which he had overlooked and left lying untouched for several months. He became one of 19th-century Edinburgh's most successful confectioners and Edinburgh Rock is now exported all over the world.

1 Ib granuated sugar (500 g)
7 and a half fl oz water (200 ml)
Pinch of cream of tartar

Flavouring and colouring:
lemon (yellow), peppermint (green), raspberry (pink),
vanilla (white), ginger (fawn), and orange.

Put the sugar and water into a pan and heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Just before it boils, add the cream of tartar. Boil till the temperature reaches 250°F/130°C or the sugar forms a hard ball when a little is dropped into some cold water. This is an important point since the sugar will be too sticky to 'pull' if it is not hard enough. If too hard it will not crystallise well. Remove from the heat and add colouring and flavouring. Let it stand for a few minutes to cool slightly, then pour it out onto a buttered marble slab or into buttered confectioner's candy bars (a buttered formica top will also do, provided you have cooled the sugar slightly before pouring out). Turn the edges into the centre as it cools with a buttered scraper. Do not stir. When it is cool enough to handle, dust it well with icing sugar and take it up in your hands. 'Pull' the sugar by letting it drop and then bringing it up again. Do not twist it. Continue this process till it starts to harden up, then pull into one long strip about half an inch (1cm) thick. Leave to set hard then break into even-sized pieces. Dust a tray with icing sugar and place the pieces of rock on it. Dust the rock with icing sugar and leave in a warm atmosphere till the rock becomes powdery and soft. The time this takes varies from one to two days up to a week. Store in an airtight tin.

Scottish Snuff Mill

2009-02-05T11:42:00.002Z

Scottish Snuff Mill. An old view of Watt's Snuff Mill which kept going until 1940 and it was said that Bonnie Prince Charlie once declared that Watt's snuff was the best he'd ever sniffed. If this is so, Watt must have exported it to the various resorts in Europe between which the dissolute wannabe was drunkenly and aimlessly drifting for Watt didn't start up his mill until 1763, well after the Young Pretender had gone into disappointed exile. It seems more likely that John Watt and his son Robert were astute businessmen, old and young pretenders of a different sort, implying a By Royal Appointment credit for their product. long the Juniper Green stretch of the Water of Leith there was a concentration of watermills: seven in Juniper Green proper, and at least ten in which Juniper folk would have worked.

The Ultimate Guide to Being Scottish

2009-02-03T20:27:00.002Z

The Ultimate Guide to Being Scottish. What makes the Ultimate Scot? Is it the ability to identify a tartan pattern from 50 yards? Maybe it's being able to recite the two forgotten verses of Auld Lang Syne? Or perhaps it's knowing your single malt from a double malt? The Ultimate Guide to Being Scottish examines in hilarious detail the history, politics and traditions that make Scots great. Exploring the best of Scottish culture, this book focuses on the celebrations that Scots have made their own, from Hogmanay to the Edinburgh Fringe festival. Mixing fact and practical hints (like the ideal recipe for boiled sheep's head) with witty banter, The Ultimate Guide to Being Scottish is perfect for injecting Scotland's unique and beloved brand of merriment into the year. Clark McGinn was born in Ayr and has been the speaker at Burns Suppers and other events for thirty years. He has led the revelry at Suppers across Britain, Europe, Australia and the States, usually with a dram of whisky in hand. While at Glasgow University he founded the World Student Debating Competition and passed enough exams to become a banker, where his skills at arguing came in handy. His speeches have been shown on TV in Britain, America, Canada and Australia. The Ultimate Guide to Being Scottish: Put Your First Foot Forward.

Scottish Mill Lade. An old view of the mill lade at Bridge of Allan, Stirlingshire, Scotland. In the 1830s it was said that Bridge of Allan consisted of old-fashioned mill and kiln, a wayside inn, a smithy and a few hovel-looking huts around a narrow humped-backed bridge. Due to success of the Spa, by 1868 there were over 100 lodging houses. The weir and mill lade can still be seen under the present day bridge.
