| 749.4 | The Curse Of Scotland. | ARRAN::KDELANEY | | Mon May 07 1990 07:40 | 20 |
| The card is called the curse of Scotland because legend has it that at
the Battle Of Culloden on the 16 th of April 1746 the commander of the
Government forces,the Butcher Cumberland,wrote the no mercy,no
surrender order on the handiest piece of paper which happened to be the
card in question.
The order was ruthlessly carried out by the Government forces on that day
and on many days afterwards.
The butchery was so severe that even after nearly two hundred and fifty
years the name of H.R.H. The Duke of Cumberland is still spoken with
distaste in Scotland.
It is interesting to note that the first thing that you see when
entering Inverarray Castle,the seat of the Campbell Dukes of Argyll,is
a painting of Butcher Cumberland on his white horse.
To all you who know, this fact will speak volumes.
Awrabest
Kenny.

| 749.5 | Cumberlands Address ?? | COMICS::MILLAR | No Porn please I'm Graphic | Thu May 10 1990 08:41 | 12 |
| Hi,
Does anybody know the words of the "Duke of Cumberlends Address".
Just curious really. I was listening to some of Handel's Coronation
Anthems the other evening and read the sleeve which stated that one
peice was written for Cumberlands "triumphant" return to London. I
should know more about this being a Scot, but I don't and am interested
to learn.
Regards
Bruce
