I would just add a mention of one of the unsung heroes of the '45, besides Lord George Murray -- Lord Duncan Forbes of Culloden -- Forbes, although a Government man, showed nothing but the best of Highland hospitality to the Bonnie Prince when he stayed at Culloden House, and then unsuccessfully argued against the actions of the Butcher against the rebels after the rebellion was over. Like many Scots, Forbes was simply caught in the middle.

Lest we forget.

Good ponit Todd, but let's also not forget James Wolfe, who though he did fight for the English side, showed true honour. He later was chosen to lead the British assault on Quebec and the Plains of Abraham, and fought beside many of the disposed Highlanders he had fought at Culloden. Wolfe played a big role in the shape of my country.
