Gaughan also says in his pithy fashion: "He was about as much use to Scotland as a dose of cholera".

About the songs, I agree. I love em, some of them anyway. Even though they're ridiculous artifacts of a reactionary, ill-considered cause that resulted in nothing but death, heartbreak and the ultimate usurpation and depopulation of the highlands. (Which of course got a lot of us where we are today.)

But the best of em really rock! (although my rendition is but a pale echo of Silly Wizards)
