I'm so excited- Ewan McVicar will be coming to my school next Friday! I asked him for some song suggestions and one of the ones he gave me was McPherson's Farewell. I know this song but I don't know my Scottish history well enough to know: who was he? why was he being executed? Is the song an accurate telling of the truth? I could have sworn I saw a discussion of this but couldn't find the thread when I used McPherson or MacPherson.
