Scotland itself was taken from me. By a king proclaiming his rule over our lands.
[ They'd fought, Jamie and the Jacobites, and they'd fought hard. But in the end, everything was stripped from him. ]
I lost my father, a daughter, my wife wi' a child on the way. [ He counts them. Going all the way back to the death of his father while watching his own son nearly flogged to death. ] My ancestral home, my land. Even the way my people dressed for centuries was made illegal. I suppose having to learn a new way of life now isna so bad, when here I may have the chance to truly be free.
[ Well, freeer. There's no redcoat army here to constantly harass him. That's good.
It's also easier to let others believe his wife died. Who wants to try and explain time travel? ]
