Both were widows; both were of high rank; both were closely connected with some of the noblest families in the kingdom; both in the end reaped to the full the crop they had sown, for both survived to witness the utter destruction of their respective Houses. The elder of these ladies, the Baroness Nairne, was then seventy-six years old; she was the only daughter of the first Lord Nairne; she had married Lord William Murray, a younger son of the first Marquess of Atholl, and by doing so had brought to him her father’s title. Her influence had alienated her husband from the Revolution principles of the head of his family, and had sent him and their eldest son to join Lord Mar in 1715. But this unflinching Jacobite had influenced more than her 1 Principal authorities:—The Lyon in Mourning; Chronicles of the Atholl and Tullibardine Families; Henderson’s History of the Rebellion (5th edition, London, 1753); The Jacobite Lairds of Gask; Report of the Proceedings of the Board of General Officers on Lieut.-General Sir John Cope (London, 1749); Memorials of John Murray of Broughton; Jacobite Correspondence of the Atholl Family; Lord Macleod’s Narrative in Sir William Fraser’s Earls of Cromartie; The Lockhart Papers; The Albemarle Papers; Cottin, Un Protege de Bachaumont (Paris, 1887); The Chiefs of Grant; Historical MSS.

  • Battle Name: Sheriffmuir Council Area: Stirling Date: 13Th November 1715 UKFOC Number: 325
    Battle Name: Sheriffmuir Council area: Stirling Date: 13th November 1715 UKFOC number: 325 SHERIFFMUIR 1 SUMMARY 1.1 CONTEXT In 1707 the two kingdoms of Scotland and England had been united, a highly unpopular move across much of Scottish society. The Jacobites sought to exploit this not simply to reverse the union, but to gain the crown of both England and Scotland. An abortive rising took place in 1708. Then, in 1714, when the Elector of Hanover succeeded Queen Anne to the throne he alienated a range of former supporters of Anne. One of these, the Earl of Mar, threw in his lot with the Jacobites and in September began to raise forces to march south to join with English Jacobites, in an attempt to return a Stuart to the throne. To counter the uprising the government dispatched a combination of Scottish and English regiments under the command of the Duke of Argyle. During October there were various manoeuvres, including against Edinburgh. Then on the 10th November the Jacobite army marched south from Perth, reaching Kinbuick, just north east of Dunblane on the 12th. Argyll had marched north and was already at Dunblane, intending to intercept the Jacobite force. The government army may have been outnumbered by about 2:1, but it was made up of regulars fighting under an experienced commander. 1.2 ACTION The Jacobites drew up in battle formation on Kinbuick Muir, presumably in order to control the road north from Dunblane, but had to move more than two kilometres south east from here on to Sheriff Muir, to the east of Dunblane, to engage the government force.

  • The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Sheriffmuir Designation
    The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Sheriffmuir The Inventory of Historic Battlefields is a list of nationally important battlefields in Scotland. A battlefield is of national importance if it makes a contribution to the understanding of the archaeology and history of the nation as a whole, or has the potential to do so, or holds a particularly significant place in the national consciousness. For a battlefield to be included in the Inventory, it must be considered to be of national importance either for its association with key historical events or figures; or for the physical remains and/or archaeological potential it contains; or for its landscape context. In addition, it must be possible to define the site on a modern map with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The aim of the Inventory is to raise awareness of the significance of these nationally important battlefield sites and to assist in their protection and management for the future. Inventory battlefields are a material consideration in the planning process. The Inventory is also a major resource for enhancing the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of historic battlefields, for promoting education and stimulating further research, and for developing their potential as attractions for visitors.

Image: Wardrop and Crockett Image: Wardrop and Crockett INTRODUCTION The existence of a replica of the Atlantic Wall on the Sheriffmuir Hills above Dunblane seems to have remained something of a secret for over 70 years. It has been recorded and listed as an historic monument. However, locals still seem to know very little about it. Some ten years ago the husband of one of our museum volunteers mentioned that he had been in Dunblane in 1943 working on the construction of the wall at Sheriffmuir. In August 2012 Gordon sent us a letter about his time in Dunblane. He apologises that his memory is not as clear as it once was: 49th Division came to Scotland in July 1943 for training in its role of assault division for the Normandy landings.
