What is the meaning of Scotland the Brave?

This name was probably made to acknowledge the fact that 500-600 years ago Scotland fought England to try and remain independent. Further Information: The tune, a pipe tune, is always listed as 'Traditional'. In other words no one knows for certain who actually composed the tune. It appeared widely in pipe repertoires from around the turn of the 19th/20th century. The lyrics to Scotland The Brave were written by Scottish journalist, writer, author, songwriter, raconteur, after dinner speaker, historian and broadcaster Cliff Hanley (1923-1999) in 1951 for performer, producer and music shop owner Robert Wilson who needed a song to close the act of his performance at a Christmas Scottish review musical show at the Glasgow Empire Theatre. The song soon became popular with Scots people and was quickly adopted as an unofficial national anthem.The lyrics make no mention of wars against the English and read more as a reflection of Scots brave exploits coupled with a yearning for home. As such they more accurately reflect the emotional reflections of a Scottish soldier serving in the British army far from his highland home although it is not in any way melancholic in its tone. By the late 19th century the sound of the pipes was universally recognised as a precursor to the arrival of Scottish regiments whose military prowess was well known throughout the world. As well as instilling fear in the enemies of the British Empire it would raise the moral of those they were coming to relieve. Its entire tone is militaristic, stirring, and resonant of the Victorian's pride in their Empire and Army among whom the Scottish regiments were portrayed and perceived as the most combatitive and militarily elite. The warrior traditions of the Scots run deep and the song is felt by Scots to be a celebration of their bravery as a race, individually as well as nationally.


Did st Patrick originally come from Scotland?

St. Patrick of Ireland is one of the world's most popular saints.Apostle of Ireland, born at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton, in Scotland, in the year 387; died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, 17 March, 461.Along with St. Nicholas and St. Valentine, the secular world shares our love of these saints. This is also a day when everyone's Irish.There are many legends and stories of St. Patrick, but this is his story.Patrick was born around 385 in Scotland, probably Kilpatrick. His parents were Calpurnius and Conchessa, who were Romans living in Britain in charge of the colonies.As a boy of fourteen or so, he was captured during a raiding party and taken to Ireland as a slave to herd and tend sheep. Ireland at this time was a land of Druids and pagans. He learned the language and practices of the people who held him.During his captivity, he turned to God in prayer. He wrote"The love of God and his fear grew in me more and more, as did the faith, and my soul was rosed, so that, in a single day, I have said as many as a hundredprayers and in the night, nearly the same." "I prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain."Patrick's captivity lasted until he was twenty, when he escaped after having a dream from God in which he was told to leave Ireland by going to the coast. There he found some sailors who took him back to Britain, where he reunited with his family.He had another dream in which the people ofIreland were calling out to him "We beg you, holy youth, to come and walk among us once more."He began his studies for the priesthood. He was ordained by St. Germanus, the Bishop of Auxerre, whom he had studied under for years.Later, Patrick was ordained a bishop, and was sent to take the Gospel to Ireland. He arrived in Ireland March 25, 433, at Slane. One legend says that he met a chieftain of one of the tribes, who tried to kill Patrick. Patrick converted Dichu (the chieftain) after he was unable to move his arm until he became friendly to Patrick.Patrick began preaching the Gospel throughout Ireland, converting many. He and his disciples preached and converted thousands and began building churches all over the country. Kings, their families, and entire kingdoms converted toChristianity when hearing Patrick's message.Patrick by now had many disciples, among them Beningnus, Auxilius, Iserninus, and Fiaac, (all later canonized as well).Patrick preached and converted all of Irelandfor 40 years. He worked many miracles and wrote of his love for God in Confessions. After years of living in poverty, traveling and enduring much suffering he died March 17, 461.He died at Saul, where he had built the first church.


What was the monarchy system in 1040 Scotland?

The "monarchy system" in 1040 Scotland was based on a royal clan of mixed Scottish and Pictish lineage which governed Scotland, made it's laws, and defended it's boundaries from foreign invaders. The Dal-Riada royal clan was a patrilineal (male-line) royal dynasty which previously ruled the Scottish kingdom of Dal-Riada- the Gaelic speaking tribal kingdom whose people were of largely Irish heritage, and which stretched from the mainland mountains westward down to the west coast of Scotland- corresponding with the regions today known as Argyll, Lochalsh, Lochaber, and the Hebrides. The east, centre and north of Scotland was controlled by the Picts- a Celtic people who may have been descended from the original settlers of post ice-age Britain. While the seven provincial Pictish principalities were controlled by local male-line dynasties, the central Pictish monarchy was controlled by a uterine dynasty- the kings of this family were all related to each other through the female line of the Pictish royal house, and the Pictish high-kings claimed the Pictish high-Kingship through their mothers, not their fathers. Over time the royal families of these two tribal kingdoms became extensively intermarried, and were close allies until the Pictish kings broke with the Irish Columban Christian Church and switched their allegiance to the Church of Rome, causing the two royal houses to become increasingly hostile towards one another. Because the Scottish royal succession was patrilinear, and the Pictish succession was uterine, where a marriage between a Dal-riada king, and a Pictish Princess Royal ocurred, the sons born to such a marriage had valid claims to the Thrones of both tribal kingdoms. So in time, Pictish kings reigned over Dal-Riada, and Scottish kings reigned over Pictish Caledonia. At the end of the eighth century, however, something ocurred which was to change the destinies of these two tribal kingdoms forever. Large maurauding fleets of Norwegian and Danish sea-faring farmers began terrorizing the coasts of Scotland. These farmers are known today as the "Vikings". They were numerous, superb warriors, and also pagan- having no respect for Christian values such as the sanctity of human life. Their pagan religion glorified war and made heroes out of men who died in battle. Consequently, these "Vikings" were utterly fearless, embracing death in battle as a great honour, and putting fear in the hearts of all who got in their way. They were also ruthless, killing men, women, and children indiscriminately. By the end of the ninth century, the Vikings, who needed new farmland, controlled large parts of Ireland, and Scotland. The Vikings controlled the Scottish Hebrides, the Irish provincial kingdom of Meath-including Dublin-, the Orkney islands, and the far north of Scotland. In 839, the Hebridean Vikings sailed up the River Tay, and attacked the heart of the Pictish kingdom- it's capital at Fortrenn. In a battle today called the "Battle of Fortrenn", the Vikings all but exterminated the ruling Pictish aristocracy, including the Pictish high-king, the reigning Pictish king of Dal-Riada, several local princes, and many princes of the uterine Pictish royal house. The Pictish monarchy collapsed, and the Scottish prince Cinnaedh MacAilpin- who seized the Dal-Riada throne on the death of King Eoghan at the Battle of Fortrenn, now- possibly with the assistance of the Hebridean Vikings who may have been his allies, finally seized the Pictish Throne in 843. After a brief return to power of the Pictish royal house under King Drust X, Cinnaedh II of Dal-Riada finally consolidated his control over the Pictish Throne in 847. He may have had a claim to the Pictish Throne through his mother, since the two royal families were deeply intermarried- so intermarried in fact that the relationship between these two tribal monarchies was probably incestuous, with one faction having its powerbase in Dal-Riada, and the other in Pictish Fortrenn. Cinnaedh's immediate dynastic successors were known variously as Kings of the Picts, and Kings of the Scots. The first kings of this newly merged kingdom of Scotland, called"Alba", were from Cinnaedh's patrilineal family, and spent most of their reigns fighting the Vikings. It was only Cinnaedh's grandson, Constaintin III, who finally got down to re-organizing the new merged kingdom. He formally abolished the Pictish Catholic Church, making the Scottish Columban Church the only legal church in Scotland, and at an assembly at Scone in 906, formally severed all political and religious ties with Rome, making the Scottish Columban Church sovereign in Scotland. Constantin also formally abolished the Pictish uterine law of succession, replacing the Pictish law with the Irish Brehon law, making the royal succession agnatic - that is entailed to the male-line of the Dal-Riada royal clan. He made the Gaelic language the state language of the new kingdom of Alba, an act which almost certainly led to the extinction of the Pictish tongue which unfortunately was never a written language in the first place. However, Constaintin did make a major concession to the Picts: he maintained the Pictish provincial principalities of Scotland, and incorporated mainland Scottish Dal-Riada into the Pictish sub-kingdom of Atholl as a mortuath. It was this merged state amalgamated by Cinnaedh II of Dal-Riada, and re-organized by his grandson Constaintin III, which was passed down to Constantin's successors, and this was the state which was claimed by King Donncaidh (Duncan) in 1040. Duncan's claim the Throne of united Scotland, called "Alba", was tenuous to say the least. Constaintin III had formally replaced the Pictish uterine law of succession with the Irish-Scottish Brehon law, as early as 900. Under this law, no woman could claim the Scottish Throne, and no man could claim the Scottish Throne through his mother, or through any female line, even if he was the son of a Scottish princess. The agnatic male-line principle was quite common in Europe- but it was more strictly applied in Ireland, and Gaelic Scotland, than anywhere else in Europe. Duncan's grandfather, Mael-Colum II, called "the Destroyer" because of all the relatives he killed off, caused havoc in Scotland when he sought to change the Brehon law of succession. Mael-Coluim, according to some accounts, had an only son, Domhnall, who was killed at the famous Battle of Clontarf between the Irish and the Vikings in 1014. Instead of nominating one of his male-line cousins as his heir according to Brehon custom, Mael-Coluim nominated his eldest daughter's son , Donncaidh (Duncan) as his heir- in blatant violation of Brehon law. Duncan's nomination triggered a bloody war of succession between Maelcoluim's supporters, and his own agnatic relatives. In time, Maelcoluim succeeded in extirpating most of his male-line relatives- usually by assassination, and when Mael-Coluim himself was killed in 1034, his branch of the Dal-Riada royal clan became extinct in the male line. At this point, Duncan successfully claimed the Scottish Throne, as heir-general of Mael-Coluim. However, Duncan's claim was challenged by the "Cinel Labhran"- a surviving male-line branch of the old Dal-Riada royal clan. The Cinel Labhran controlled that part of Scotland known as "Moray"which included modern Inverness, Argyll, Ross, Lochaber, Buchan, and nominally Sutherland- basically, most of Scotland north and west of the Grampian mountains. The Cinel Labhran had a historic claim to the old Kingdom of Dal-Riada, and at least five of it's members had previously held the Dal-Riada kingship. The Cinel Labhran was related to the defunct "Cinel Gabhran"- King Mael-Coluim's family- through both the male line, and the female line through marriage. Under Brehon law, the Cinel Labhran were the lawful heirs of King Mael-Coluim by entail, since they were his nearest surviving male-line relations at the time of his death in 1034, or at least so they claimed. Moreover, the King of Moray, Macbeatha, was married to Princess Gruoch, the grand-daughter of King Cinneadh IV, King Mael-Coluim's cousin and predecessor. She was by descent the senior Heiress of the defunct Cinel Gabhran, and she hated King Mael-Coluim and his grandson Donncaidh with passion since they had conspired to organize the assassinations of her brother, her nephew, and her late husband- who was burnt alive in his own palace in 1032. Between them, Macbeatha of Moray- known today as Macbeth, and his royal wife Gruoch, had it in for Scotland's King Duncan big time- and they found their opportunity to challenge Duncan in 1040. King Macbeth of Moray was a nominal vassal of king Donncaidh who was High-King of All Scotland. King Donncaidh's reign from 1034 to 1040 was spectacularly unsuccessful. An arrogant and impulsive young man, Duncan had made several serious blunders during his reign, the worst of which was his military invasion of Northumbria in England in 1039. Duncan's seige of Durham was a disaster which resulted in the casualties of several thousand Scottish troops and cavalry. When the now discredited Duncan got back to Scotland, he added insult to injury by appointing his cousin, Moddan, as Mormaor of Caithness, despite the fact that Caithness was under the jurisdiction of the powerfull Viking Jarl of Orkey, Thorfinn II "Raven-feader". When Moddan attempted to enforce his rule in Caithness, he was ambushed at Thurso and unceremoniously beheaded. King Duncan then rushed by sea to Caithness to avenge Moddan's killing, but was driven back by Thorfinn. At this point, Thorfin formed an alliance with Macbeatha of Moray, and King Duncan met the two leaders in battle at Bothnagowan near Elgin in August 1040. Duncan was mortally wounded during the encounter, and died a day later at Elgin. Macbeth recognized Thorfinn's claims to Caithness and Sutherland, and Thorfinn supported Macbeth's claims to Scotland. Macbeatha was enthroned with popular acclaim at Scone as High-King of Scotland. In the meantime, King Duncan's wife, Queen Suthen, had fled to his father's court in Atholl. Duncan's father was Crinan mac Donncaidh, Hereditary Abbot of Dunkeld, and Mormaor of Atholl. Crinan sought to avenge his son's death and advance his grandsons' claims to the Scottish Throne, and met Macbeatha in battle in 1046. Crinan was killed in the battle, and his daughter-in-law, Queen Suthen, fled with her two young sons to her own father's court in Northumbria, England. From 1046 till 1057, Macbeth and Gruoch reigned as joint King & Queen of Scotland. His kingdom was Gaelic speaking, and followed the Columban rite of Christianity with special affection for the Culdee cult. The royal couple were generous to the Columban Church, and Macbeatha is alleged to have established a widows and orphans fund for families of slain Scottish soldiers. Macbeth is said to have extended the Scottish border to Lancashire in England on the west coast of Britain, and to the river Teed on the east coast. His kingdom didnot include Northumberland, but did include modern day Cumbria. In the north, his kingdom didnot include Caithness, or the Orkneys, and he had only nominal authority over Sutherland which was ruled by the Jarl of Orkney. The Hebrides were also under Viking control at this time, although Macbeatha had had nominal jurisdiction over the western isles which were legally part of his kingdom. Scotland in Macbeth's reign was an agrarian society, and there were no Scottish towns and cities as we no them today, but rather fortified settlements. Macbeatha likely held his court at his castle of Dunsinane in the eastern highlands. This castle would, like other castles of the day in Britain, have been a mainly wooden structure, though none the less impressive and well fortified- but a death trap if set on fire. There was no Scottish parliament as we know it today in Macbeth's time, but a state council made up of senior clerics of the Columban Church, and the reigning mormaors or provincial rulers of Scotland would have advised the king in matters of state. There was probably no centralised tax revenue system, although most likely part of the taxes collected by the Mormaors would have been claimed by the king. Macbeth's kingdom would have been a federal state with much of the real power invested in the local mormaors, on whose allegiance the king relied in times of war. The central monarchy would have had quite limited power over local goverment. The king's main jurisdiction was over foreign relations, national defence, and laws which affected the whole country. Democracy in Macbeth's time was non-existant, though the population could have major influence over it's ruling class through rebellion, and disobedience, or refusal of military service. A king who was not supported by his people would be king for too long. In the meantime, the slain King Duncan's son, Maelcoluim had sought refuge at the court of the king of England, Edward III, today known as "the Confessor". Edward disliked Macbeth, and probably feared an unholy alliance between the Scottish king, and the Norwegians- especially the powerful Norwegian King Harald III called "Hardrada". Having the late King Duncan's son under his roof, Edward raised a largely mercenary army of Englishmen and Norhumbrian vikings numbering at least 10,000, who invaded Scotland in 1054, led jointly by young Prince Mael-Colouim, and the Danish-Northumbrian Earl, Siward. After a four-year long campaign by sea and land, both Macbeth, and his cousin and successor Lulach, were killed, and Duncan's line re-established on the Scottish Throne. The new king Mael-Coluim III, transformed Scotland under the influence of his English wife, Margaret, into an Anglo-Norman state. The Gaelic language was replaced at Court by English and Latin, and the Columban Church by the Roman Catholic Church, and so began the great fall-out between the Kings of Scotland and their Gaelic subjects. The Gaelic cause was carried on by Macbeth and Lulach's descendants for 150 years. His principal heirs today are represented by the Chiefs of Clan Morgan or "Mackay", who claim descent from king Lulach. The Chiefs of the Mackinnons, and Macquarries, also claim male-line descent from Macbeth- a claim which is supported by medieval pedigrees, and by a tombstone found in the royal cemmetary on the Island of Iona.
