"The Battle of Harlaw" (Child #163)
on 7/24/1411, Donald of the Isles and 50,000 High- & Islanders tried to
sack Aberdeen and were defeated (or held off) by the Earl of Mar. Child
quotes Burton: "This defeat was in the interest of civilization against
savagery."
Gin onybody spier at you
For them that cam awa'
Ye can tell them plain and plain enough
They're sleeping at Harlaw.
