Jacobites

"In the end, victorious."

- Jacobite motto

Jacobites were part of a political movement in Great Britain and Ireland that aimed to restore the House of Stuart to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland.

When Charles II was crowned king of Scotland in 1661, not everyone agreed with his rule, the least of which those loyal to James VII of the House of Stuart. Among those loyal to the Catholic king: the clans of the Scottish Highlands. With feverant loyalty to whom they saw as the true king of England and their infamously resilient Scottish warrior blood within them, the Jacobites of Scotland would become the frontline warriors to oppose the rule of king Charles II and the face of the Jacobite Uprising of 1689.

With wars popping up in 1708, 1715 and 1719, the conflict would come to a head in 1745 where the Highlanders would face the British Army one last time, displaying the fearlessness and tenacity of the Highlands. The Scots charged the in full force, unafraid of musket fire and held the ground to the bitter end. And while ultimately Charles II's British Army won the battle, they still remain an icon of Scottish nationalism and notional pride until this day.
