Based on a tune found in Skene manuscripts, the melody of this Scottish bagpipe lament is often played in solemn memorial events. Jean Elliot of Minto (1727 - 1805) wrote poetry to the tune as a lament to the deaths of James IV and 10,000 men at the 1513 Battle of Flodden. The text describes the grief of women and children at the loss of their young men, and contrasts between happier times and the devastation following the battle.
