Default Re: Meaning of Scottish proverb

If I translate as:
There's no fleeing from fate.

Does that make it clearer?

flee: to run away from a place or situation (of danger).

fate • the development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power;
.......• the course of someone's life, or the outcome of a particular situation for someone or something, seen as beyond their control.
