The Highland Clans after 1745

[creagdhubh]

Very interesting indeed, thank you for sharing. I absolutely love the penmanship back then, no one writes like that anymore.

Macphersons.......500. I like the sound of that!

Naturally, I own a fantastic book that discusses in great detail and with historical accuracy, the part the Clan Macpherson played in the Rising of 1745, the skirmishes and battles throughout the Jacobite Campaign, leading to their eventual demise at Drumossie Moor (Culloden), and the flight of Prince Charles Edward Stuart assisted by "Cluny of the '45" as he is known to Macphersons. The book is entitled, "A Day's March to Ruin," by Dr. Alan Gibson Macpherson (one of our Clan Macpherson Historians)of St. John's, Newfoundland.

I have several copies of the paperback book if anyone is interested - perhaps I'll put detailed information up in the 'for sale' section. The book contains copies of actual letters between Prince Charles Edward Stuart and Cluny-Macpherson, as well as other notable Jacobites, throughout the book. A very, very compelling and interesting read, whether you are a Macpherson or not!


A Day's March to Ruin: A Documentary Narrative of the Badenoch Men in the 'Forty-Five and a Biography of Colonel Ewan Macpherson of Cluny, 1706-1764.


Clan Macpherson Memorial on the lands of Glentruim in Badenoch (Inverness-shire), given to the Clan Macpherson Association in 1996 by Euan Macpherson of Glentruim. The cairn is comprised of stones donated by Macphersons located all around the world and contains a gold plaque dedicated to the life and memory of Colonel Ewan Macpherson of Cluny, wartime leader and Chief to all Macphersons during the Jacobite Risings of the mid 18th-century.
