I think Jack is right and there is nothing in the lyric to suggest it is a Jacobite song. Alicia was a Borderer and another Borders poet from Selkirk called Andrew Lang wrote a poem at a slightly later date which is a version of Loch Lomond and has the narrator as a prisoner at Carlise. I think the idea that Alicia's song is Jacobite comes from Lang's later version and not the original. |
