The 1745 Rebellion and the Southern Scottish Lowlands

By A.E. MacRobert

The 1745 Rebellion and the Southern Scottish Lowlands is a detailed analysis of the causes, events and consequences of the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745-46, with particular emphasis on the Lowlands' response to Prince Charles Edward's attempt to restore the Stuart dynasty to the throne of England, Scotland and her Empire.Beginning with a brief chronology of the 1745 rebellion, MacRobert proceeds to explore the legal and structural weaknesses within the Scottish administration that helped to facilitate the initial success of Prince Charles Edward's campaign. MacRobert's perspective creates a nuanced portrait of a diverse and divided Scotland, both scarred and enriched by its economic, religious and regional differences.
