Haughs of Cromdale ================== As I came in by Auchendoon Just a wee bit frae the toon Tae the Hielands I was boon' Tae view the haughs of Cromdale I met a man in tartan trews Speired at him what was the news Quo' he the Hielan d army rues That e'er we cam' tae Cromdale We were in bed sir, every man When the English host upon us cam Bloody battle then began Upon the haughs of Cromdale The English horse, they were sae rude Bathed their hooves in Hieland blood But our brave clans they boldly stood Upon the haughs of Cromdale But alas we could no longer stay And o'er the hills we cam away Sair we did lament the day That e'er we cam' tae Cromdale Then up the great Montrose did say John, hieland man show me the way I will o'er the hills this day And view the haughs of Cromdale They were at dinner every man When the great Montrose upon them cam A second battle then began Upon the haughs of Cromdale The Grant, Mackenzie and Mackay As Montro se they did espy Twas then they fought most valiantly Upon the haughs of Cromdale The Macdonalds they returned again The Camerons did their standards join Mackintosh played a bloody game Upon the haughs of Cromdale The Gordons boldly did adv ance The Frasers fought wi' sword and lance The Grahams they made the heids tae dance Upon the haughs of Cromdale Then the loyal Stewarts wi' Montrose So boldly set upon their foes Laid them low wi' hieland blows Laid them low on Cromdale Of twenty thousand Cromwell's men A thousand fled tae Aberdeen The rest o' them lie on the plain There on the haughs of Cromdale [ This is an unskilled attempt at propaganda, but a good song nevertheless. The linking of the great Marquis of Montrose to a change in fortunes is nothing less than miraculous - he had been dead for years. There was no second battle. ]
