Thanks for the pics (sorry your trip couldn't have been longer). My british history class has gone through l the Stuarts and were now beginning the Jacobite rebellions.

A point of clarifcation and one often misunderstood: Jacobean and Jacobite are not the same thing.

The former refers to the period covered by the reign of JamesVI/I (1603-25).

Jacobites were supporters of the House of Stuart during various risings (1688-1745) that aimed to get a (Catholic) Stuart King back on the throne.

Very interesting. I can see why it would cause confusion...I'll admit, I just assumed they were the same thing myself. Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification. I also had inadvertently combined these terms in my mind.
