Frosly MCorning Fingerless MCitts
The fiddle tune "Frosty Morning," also known as "Cold, Frosty Morning," memorializes the battle of Culloden Moor. On the very bloody morning of April 16, 1746, 8,000 English troops massacred a Scottish army of7,0oo. Thus ended the Jacobite Rebellion in Scotland. It did not, however, end the bloodshed. In order toensurethattherebellionwouldnotbe rekindled, King George II gave the Duke of Cumberland instructions to punish the Scots. And so, after their victory on April 16, the English army set out to hunt down and kill any Highlander they could find whether guilty or innocent. In some cases this also meant the murder of women and children.These acts earned the Duke of Cumberland the infamous title of "The Butcher." Skill Level: Intermediate\*
