From my very in-depth investigation that verse was never in widespread use and was referring to the Jacobites.

Did you read this on Twitter or in The National?

Hey greentext andrew163623, I'm very pleased you discovered wikipedia! However the existence of that verse is already known by many Scots, it's not some Forbidden Knowledge that only nationalist papers talk about.
