The Lyon in Mourning Volume PUBLICATIONS OF THE SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY VOLUME XXII THE LYON IN MOURNING VOL. III OCTOBER 1896 THE LYON IN MOURNING OR A COLLECTION OF SPEECHES LETTERS JOURNALS ETC. RELATIVE TO THE AFFAIRS OF PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART BY THE REV. ROBERT FORBES, A.M. BISHOP OF ROSS AND CAITHNESS 1746-1775 Edited from his Manuscript, with a Preface by HENRY PATON, M.A. IN THREE VOLUMES III EDINBURGH Printed at the University Press by T. and A. CONSTABLE for the Scottish History Society 1896 PREFATORY NOTE IT was originally intended to add to the third volume of the Lyon in Mourning, as a key to the work, an Itinerary and Map showing the Prince's movements day by day from the date of his landing in Scotland to his departure in September 1746. This Itinerary, which has been prepared by Mr. W. B. Blaikie from many sources, printed and manuscript, confirming or correcting the data of the Lyon, and indicating the movements of the Government armies as well as of the Jacobites, has so far exceeded the length at first contemplated, that it has been thought well to issue it separately along with the Map as a supplement to volume iii. This supplementary issue will therefore be treated as belonging to volume iii., and will be due to subscribers for the year 1895-96.

  • Jacobitism and the Creation of a Scottish National Identity

Historiography . 5-23 III. Historical Jacobitism . 24-39 IV. The End of Highland Life . 40-52 V. Highland Culture Revived . 53-73 VI. Conclusion . 74-76 Appendix 1 - Important Events and Legislation . 77-78 Appendix 2 – Stuart and Hanoverian Dynasties . 79 Appendix 3 – The Skye Boat Song . 80 Appendix 4 – Charles Edward in Tartan . 81 Works Cited . 82-84 1 I. Introduction Winston Churchill once claimed that “of all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind.”1 Scotland has produced a plethora of important writers, philosophers, historians, and scientists. During the Enlightenment, Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh, was called the “Athens of the north,”2 a tribute to the number of influential figures who lived or were educated there during the eighteenth century. Such famous and significant figures as David Hume, Andrew Carnegie, Alexander Graham Bell, Dr. David Livingstone, Sir Walter Scott, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were Scottish. Despite influence of Scotland’s famous progeny, the country is not known for its contributions to the sciences and the arts. Instead, the mention of Scotland brings to most minds such things as kilts, tartan, bagpipes, clanship, and other tourist images that were primarily Highland customs before the eighteenth century. This vision of a timeless Celtic Scotland is in opposition to the reality that existed before the eighteenth century.

As their careers progressed they were recognized for their contributions in teaching and in administration at several Canadian universities including St. Francis Xavier University, Western University, and the University of Manitoba. Sadly, Bob passed away in 2012. In his memory, Kathryn created the Dr. Robert Macmillan ’78 Memorial Award to rec- ognize a full-time Education student who through leadership, demonstrated compassion, and service to others, has contributed to the larger community. Kathryn Noel ’78 and the late Bob Macmillan ’78 In parallel, she created a second award at Bishop’s, the Dr. Kathryn Noel ’78 Award to recognize a full-time Education student who has overcome adversity and who has contributed to the betterment of the lives of others through demonstrated service in the local and/or global community. These two awards are symbolic of Bob and Kathryn’s partnership in education and in life, which began on the third floor of the Hamilton building.
