I think that this is the list drawn up by Forbes of Culloden c1746-7. He was a prominent Hanoverian supporter and government agent in the Highlands. He also raised issues against the Act of Proscription arguing that it disproportionally affected the poor Highlander who was not politically active whereas the gentry got away fairly lightly as they could afford other cloths (and in many cases were exempt).
