Ewan McV Lyr Req: Will Ye No Come Home Again (26) RE: Searching for a song 03 Nov 98


Indeed, Will Ye No Come Back Again was written some 60 years after the 1745 Rising by Baroness Nairne of Gask. She was I suppose a 'real Jacobite' of the same ilk as Robert Burns, i'.e. there was a sentimental attachment to the Jacobite cause, although Burns was a dangerous radical and Baroness Nairne probably a High Tory (very conservative). Still, the High Tories protected Burns on account of his fine poetry or he would have ended up as a transported convict.
