Lord Stobo’s Lament – A Jacobite Air, music written by Charlie Abel.

Special thanks to The Much Hon. William Jolly.

The barony of Stobo has played an important role in Scottish history for almost five centuries. It was closely associated with the rise and fall of Stuart power in Scotland, its granting or forfeiture being used by turns to reward or punish those loyal to the House of Stuart.

“The Murrays were ruined by their support for the Jacobite cause, with Sir David Murray, 4th Baronet, forfeiting all his lands and being attainted for his role in the 1745 Rebellion. Murray died in exile at Leghorn in 1769. Lord Stobo’s Lament, a traditional Scots air, commemorates this tragic episode in the history of the barony.”
