A History of the Northern Highlands in the 1715 and 1745 Jacobite Rebellions

About A History of the Northern Highlands in the 1715 and 1745 Jacobite Rebellions

In 1688, King James VII of Scotland and II of England was ousted in the so-called 'Glorious Revolution'. Yet in parts of the Scottish Highlands, there was a lingering loyalty to him and his line. This is a ground-breaking study in the involvement of the northern Highlands of Scotland (here defined as Sutherland, Caithness, Ross-shire and Inverness, though not Inverness-shire) in the major Jacobite rebellions of 1715 and 1745. It examines aspects of the politics, religion and commerce of the region which led to the continued involvement of some clans in the cause of the exiled House of Stuart in the first half of the eighteenth century. The cover shows the former Inverness Castle, destroyed by the Jacobites in 1746.
