We were recently sent this poem by a visitor and thought we would share it with you all. If you have any poems, pictures or stories wed love to hear from you at [email protected] Battle of Culloden by Liam Fraser 1746 is a date I now know Descendants of ours, great courage they showed After fearless fighting the Jacobites grew fewer Bloodshed ran thick through Culloden Moor The Catholics gathered in the heathered field Faces war painted and blunt swords they did wield It was a time where the Highlands Clans collided The fate of many already decided A cunning, courageous but desperate technique Planned and ready the first regiment streaked The Highland Charge took its birth If only they knew what the outcome was worth Seen in the air the mist of last breaths As the next wave ordered run to their deaths Fearless and determined, ill prepared and rustic They stood no chance against the Hanoverians muskets A date in Anno Dominis time line for sure An end to the Jacobites long lasting tour At the end of the day the battle elapsed The Jacobites coalition began to collapse Prisoners are gathered and sent south to suffer Their forced into labour or death penalty they discover The remaining few who rebel and oppose Get tried for High Treason and put into rows The death penalty is issued and the craw of the crows Echo eerily as they hang by the gallows
