“The view of the Jacobites as quasi-colonial primitives is persistent […] In the Year of the Prince, the last centrally Scottish army mounted serious military opposition to the British government. The seriousness of Jacobitism is ignored because the power of the threat undermines the story of British unity.”—Prof Murray Pittock on “Whig History” & Culloden

Depressed with current affairs, I have taken to reading the news of 1745. It seems it was much safer to pretend to be 'The Pretender' than to drink to his health! 1000 lashes? Ouch.
