GLADSMUIR. Scottish, Air (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A martial ode to the victory of Prince Charles Edward and the Jacobite forces over Sir John Cope and the Hanoverian army at the Battle of Gladsmuir (September, 1745). The battle is usually known as the Battle of Prestonpans. It is thought the words were set to music by Scottish composer William McGibbon.
As over Gladsmuir's blood stain'd field,
Scotia, Imperial Goddess flew;
Her lifted spear and radiant shield
Conspicuous blazing to the view.
Her visage lately clouded with despair,
Now reafum'd its spirit majestic air.
