American Reacts to The Bonny Banks of Lomond

American Reacts to The Bonny Banks of Lomond

In this video I react to the song The Bonny Banks of Lomond. The song tells the story of two imprisoned Scottish soldiers with one of them to be executed and the other to be set free. Celtic legend is that if someone dies in a foreign land his spirit will travel home via the low road.
Historian Murray G. H. Pittock writes that the song "is a Jacobite adaptation of an eighteenth-century erotic song, with the lover dying for his king, and taking only the 'low road' of death back to Scotland. It is one of many poems and songs that emerged from Jacobite political culture in Scotland.
