The King has Landed (album)

Songs of the Jacobite Risings. This CD of great collection of Jacobite songs is sung by some of the best bands and soloists in Scotland today. The songs include a variety of viewpoints on the events of 1715 and1745 and are still very popular songs in Scotland due to their historical significance and their excellent tunes and words.

The 2002 Edinburgh International Festival included Songs of the Jacobite Rebellions in their Scottish traditional music programme - this compilation was released to mark that event. The album consists of popular Jacobite songs, plus some recent compositions, performed by artists including The Corries, Alastair McDonald, Heather Heywood, Ewan MacColl, The McCalmans, Ceolbeg, The Whistlebinkies, Ian Bruce, Jim Malcolm and Brian McNeill.
