Rob Roy The Highland Rogue 1953

[Kilted Rogue]

Well Braveheart is a wash. costumes and historically speaking. Besides Ol'Mel is to much of a train wreck.

[Morris at Heathfield]

The only Gaelic I remember from the movie is:

Cruachan!

I think it's fitting that James Robertson Justice portrayed Argyll, as Alexander Robertson of Struan and his father were friends with Argyll's father and grandfather, despite their political differences. Struan wrote the following poem about their friendship, according to The Lairds of Glenlyon:

GRATITUDE: AN EPIGRAM.

"Sure we remember how, in days of yore,
When fawning chiefs oppressed Macaillein-Voir,
And fraudfully brought on his hasty fall
Clan-Donnoch's fairer chief forsook them all:
He nobly waved to lend his helping hand
To what he thought too rigid a command,
And ventured rather to displease the King
Than meanly bend to an unmanly thing.
This deed of worth remained not long unpaid,
But the foundation of strong friendship laid.
Clan-Donnoch's heir, while yet in early bloom,
Moved by some dictates of too subtle Rome,
By Argethalian power was kindly freed
From hostile bondage and forbad to bleed.
Thus generous actions and a grateful mind,
By mutual impulse mutually inclined,
Alternately beget each others' kind.
O! may this plighted ardour still remain
Fixed without change, and fair without a stain."
