[Jock Scot]

It's believed now that Charlie knew Gaelic and/or broad Scots. After Culloden he spent time with different individuals and without his command staff to protect and throw off the enemy. The Seven Men of Glenmoriston are just a perfect example of him spending time alone with common highlanders. In fact, they spent much of their time together in a cave and they had to tell Charlie that he had to remain longer and not go on any further to the prearranged destination to avoid capture.

Er, I think you mean "the seven men of Moidart" not Glen Moriston and far from being in the company of common highlanders, five were Irish, there was at least one Marquis, two knights, and a Colonel amongst them.

Dont forget there is a strong French connection to Scotland through the Normans dating back to 1066, or just after.

I have just checked with the higher authority ,my wife, who tells me quite correctly that there were also "7 men of Glen Moriston" as well. I did not know that, even after living within a few miles of the place for nearly 70 years! I do apologise to you all.
