Subject: RE: Origin: Scotland the Brave
Guest at least try to get facts correct Many who fought in the British army at Culloden were lowland Scots. There were reasons for the hatred Glasgow had to petition the King to recompense the tradesmen of the city who were forced to make shoes coats and other items for the rebel army amid threats.

quote from Electric Scotland since I am away from my books
"Prince Charles Edward Stewart reviewed the Jacobite army at Glasgow Green. The city of Glasgow was coerced into supplying the Jacobites with goods including twelve thousand shirts, six thousand coats and six thousand pairs of hose."
