Frosty Morning
Fiddle Tune History
Fiddle Tune History
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 of
7,000. Thus ended the Jacobite Rebellion in Scotland. It did not,
however, end the bloodshed. In order to ensure that the rebellion would
not be rekindeled, 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.”
