August 16 in Scottish History

On 16 August 1766 Carolina Oliphant, Lady Nairne, was born in Gask, Perthshire. Although she remains little-known in Scotland today, Carolina Oliphant's songs are second only in popularity to Burns, writing such classics as "Will Ye No Come Back Again", "Charlie is my Darling" and "Wi 100 Pipers an’ a’". She was born into a staunchly Jacobite family and much of her songwriting reflects the political climate of the time.
