I saw the following book in the library. I haven't read it, but it looks interesting. bout Scottish songs in English(or Scots): William Donaldson."The Jacobite Song. Political Myth and National Identity". Aberdeen University Press, 1988

for songs and poems in Scottish Gaelic (with translations) see John Lorne Campbell, ed."Highland Songs of the Forty-five", Edinburgh: Scottish Gaelic Texts Society, 1984 and Derick Thompson, ed. "The Gaelic Poetry of the Eighteenth Century".Aberdeen: Association for Scottish Literary Studies, annual volume #23, 1993. Unfortunately, Campbell only provides music notation for a few of the composition, Thompson supplies none.

Does anyone know Betsy Stroomer? I looked up Jacobite songs in the IrTrad-L archives. Over three years ago Ms Stroomer requested a translation of of 'Latha chùil-iodair'(Culloden Day), by Iain Ruadh Stiùbhart, which she heard on n Eilidh Mackenzie recording. The poem is in the Campbell and Thompson books listed above. lso the producers of the Cd might supply lyrics on request. I tried to e-mail Ms Stroomer with that info., but she's not known at her old address.

Words and music for Scot. Gaelic Jacobite songs "Mo run geal òg"and "Hi ri ri tha e a tighinn" are in "Coisir a' Mhòid 3" - The Mod Collection of Gaelic Part Songs, third book - Glasgow, Gairm Publictions

"An Buachaill Bán" is sung in both Scotland and Ireland.

Another Irish Gelic Jacobite song is "Lá Chois Cuain"

I don't know all that much about the Jacobite cause in Ireland, Ian, I mainly know songs connected with it. So after you've done some reding, maybe you'll write and fill in a little more detail. thanks.
