that the Battle of Otterburn, fought only 20 miles from the Scottish-English border, was begun in the moonlight on an autumn evening in 1383?

 that in the disastrous Battle of Flodden against the English on September 9, 1513, Scotland lost 10,000 men, including her King, James IV, 1 Archbishop, 2 Bishops, 2 Abbots, 1 Dean, 13 Earls, 15 Lords and Clan chiefs, and 5 eldest sons of Peers? This tragedy so stripped Scotland of her leaders and potential leaders that it could he said that she never totally recovered her previous strength.

 that the beautiful Scottish ballad, The Flowers o' the Forest, composed in memory of that bitter loss on Flodden Field, is still loved and played today by pipers as a lament for their departed brethren?

 that in 1707 when the bells of Edinburgh were ordered rung to announce to the unhappy Scots that the Act of Union, to unite Scotland with England forever, had been ratified, the first tune played by the bell-ringer of the High Kirk of St. Giles was: "Why Should I Be Sad Upon My Wedding Day"?

 that after Scotland's last battle for her freedom against the English at Culloden Moor in 1745 under Bonnie Prince Charlie, 936 Scottish soldiers and patriots were deported to America and to the West Indies to serve as slaves for from seven years to life, on the plantations, as punishment for their up-rising against English rule?

 that the famous, blood-curdling "Rebel Yell," so often employed by the Confederate soldiers during the American War Between the States, is claimed to be the same battle-cry the Scottish Highlanders emitted as they charged into a fray; brought to America by Scottish immigrants who settled mainly in the South?
 
 that the Battle of Blar-na-Leine (Field of the Shirts) on July 3,1544, was so-called because the day was so hot that the fighting clansmen all removed their belted plaids (the single garment which combined the kilt and the shawl) and fought in their shirts? The altercation was between the MacDonalds of Clanranald and the Frasers of Lovat; and it is said that of the 500 MacDonalds only 10 survived, and of the 300 Frasers, only 4.

 that thc infamous "Massacre of Glencoe" has been held in abhorrence by Scots for almost 300 years, not so much because of the some 40 cold-blooded murders of men, women and children, as because Captain Robert Campbell of Clenlyon and his soldiers betrayed the ancient Law of Highland Trust and Hospitality? After having been quartered among the unsuspecting MacDonalds for almost two weeks, sharing bed and board, they, following orders, attacked the defenseless people at 5:00 A.M. February 13, 1692, giving "no quarter."
