FOOTNOTES:
[1] In this narrative, unless otherwise indicated, events occurring in Great Britain are given in old style dates, those on the Continent in new style.

Macpherson, London, 1775; Major Fraser’s Manuscript, ed. by Alex. Fergusson, Edinburgh, 1889; The Lockhart Papers, London, 1817; and an eclectic account in Hill Burton’s Life of Lovat, London, 1847. Extracts from many of the original authorities on this and subsequent incidents are given usefully and ingeniously in consecutive narrative form by Professor Sanford Terry in The Chevalier de St. George, London, 1901.
[3] Original information: Histoire des Revolutions d’Ecosse et d’Irlande: The Hague, 1758, of which there is a Dublin reprint of 1761; The Secret History of Colonel Hooke’s Negotiations in Scotland in 1707, of which there are London, Edinburgh and Dublin editions, all of 1760 (it is practically a translation of the Histoire des Revolutions); The Correspondence of Colonel Nathaniel Hooke, an exhaustive work edited by Rev. W. D. Macray: Roxburghe Club, 1870. A not very friendly account of Hooke’s mission is given in the Lockhart Papers The military state of Scotland at the time is to be found in An Account of the late Scotch Invasion as it was opened by My lord Haversham in the House of Lords: London, 1709 The story of the naval expedition is given in Mémoires du Comte de Forbin (Amsterdam, 1730), of which there is an English translation; the third edition is dated London, 1740
[4] The possibility of treachery was suggested by Hooke, and his story is to be found in a Gask MS. Hooke, who had been bred to the sea, found the steersman going on the wrong course. He was put right, but as soon as Hooke’s back was turned he went wrong again See Jacobite Lairds of Gask, p 15: London, 1870

[16] It is worthy of note that although the new Scots Peerage as a rule chronicles the Jacobite titles conferred on Scottish nobles, there is no mention of this peerage to Sir James Grant in that work (see Scots Peerage, vol vii pp 480483), nor is it referred to in his biography in the Grant family history (Sir W Fraser, The Chiefs of Grant, vol i pp 371-392) For the action of the Grants in the ’Forty-five, see infra, p 269 et seq
[17] The Lockhart Papers are the principal authority for Jacobite history in Scotland from 1702 to 1728.
[18] James Urquhart was the only son of Jonathan Urquhart of Cromarty and his wife Lady Jean Graham, daughter of the second Marquis of Montrose. Jonathan was the last of the Urquharts who owned the estate of Cromarty, famous owing to its possession by Sir Thomas Urquhart, the translator of Rabelais. Jonathan’s affairs having got into disorder, he sold his ancestral property to George Mackenzie, Viscount Tarbat, who was created Earl of Cromartie in 1703. James Urquhart married Anne Rollo, daughter of Robert Rollo of Powhouse, and had an only child, Grizel, who died unmarried. Colonel Urquhart ‘was a man of noble spirit, great honour, and integrity; he served in the wars both in Spain and Flanders with great reputation, but left the Army, and lived a retired life In him ended the whole male line of John, only son of the first marriage of John, tutor of Cromarty the representation devolved upon William Urquhart of Meldrum’ (Douglas, Baronage) Colonel Urquhart was born in 1691, and died on January 3rd, 1741 (Family papers). His appointment as Jacobite Agent for Scotland is dated May 28th, 1736 (Ruvigny, Jacobite Peerage, p. 234).
[19] Not the famous conqueror of Almanza, who was killed in the War of the Polish Succession when besieging Philipsburg, on June 28th, 1734, but his son, known until then as the Duke of Liria
[20] His commission as colonel is dated October 22nd, 1715. Ruvigny, Jacobite Peerage, p. 244.
[21] For general information about Gordon of Glenbucket, the reader is referred to Mr J M Bulloch’s monumental work, The House of Gordon (New Spalding Club, Aberdeen, 1912). For Glenbucket’s character and his actions in 1745, see infra, p. 113 et seq. It is remarkable how the designation ‘of
Glenbucket’ has adhered to the family for generations, although the land from which it was derived was parted with a hundred and seventy-nine years ago Gordon’s descendants are still tenants of the farm of St Bridget’s, in Glenlivet, which was old Glenbucket’s home in 1745, and are still termed ‘Glenbucket’ in the district For the Macdonell marriages see the genealogies in History of Clan Donald, vol iii
[22] M. Haile, James Francis Edward, p. 367.
[23] French historians generally blame Fleury for his timidity, and ascribe to him the decline of the splendid French navy, which he allowed to fall into decay for fear of English jealousy.
[24] The commission is dated January 28th, 1738. See Stuart Papers in Browne’s History of the Highlands, vol. iv. p. 21
[25] See infra, p. 25.
[26] The terms of this message are given from a state paper in the French Archives of which the following is an extract: ‘il manda en Angleterre que le zèle de ses sujets écossais était si vif, qu’il lui semblait qu’on pourrait opposer les Montagnards de ce pays à la plupart des troupes que le gouvernement avait alors sur pied, et qu’il y aurait lieu de tout espérer même sans secours étranger, pourvu que les Anglais affidés prissent de leur côté de justes mesures.’ See Colin, Louis XV. et les Jacobites, p. 1.

[31] Of the Associators only three were ‘out’ in the ’Fortyfive: the Duke of Perth, Lovat, and Lochiel Lord John Drummond, who was brother-in-law of Traquair, remained inactive. Prince Charles spent the night of February 2nd, 1746, at his house, Fairnton, now Ferntower, near Crieff. Lord Traquair remained in England; he was arrested at Great Stoughton in Huntingdonshire, on July 29th, 1746, and
committed to the Tower; but was released without trial before August 1748. Traquair’s brother, John Stuart, married in 1740 and retired from the Concert then Sir James Campbell was too old for action Macgregor of Balhaldies was in Paris during the campaign
[32] The name ‘Macgregor’ was then proscribed, and all members of the clan had to adopt another name; that adopted by Balhaldy’s branch was ‘Drummond.’ Balhaldy’s father, Alexander, was a man of some consequence. He had been a trader about Stirling, and made some money, and he married a daughter of Sir Ewen Cameron of Lochiel, his son Balhaldy being thus a first cousin of Lochiel of the ’45. In 1714 the Clan Gregor being chiefless, certain of its leading members elected Alexander to be hereditary chief (A G M Macgregor, Hist of Clan Gregor, vol ii p 270 ) He was created a Scots baronet by the Chevalier in 1740, and he died at Balhaldie House, Dunblane, in 1749 His son, William, was born in 1698 Though never in Scotland after 1743 he was attainted in 1746, and specially exempted from the act of indemnity of 1747 He married Janet, daughter of Laurence Oliphant of Gask, at Paris in January 1758. He died near Paris in 1765.
[33] The designation Balhaldy is spelt variously in contemporary documents, Bohaldy, Bochaldie, Bahady, etc Cf R L Stevenson’s Catriona, last chapter
[34] War was declared with Spain, October 19th, 1739.
[35] Abridged from a State Paper in the French archives, of which portions are printed in Capitaine J Colin’s Louis XV et les Jacobites: Paris, 1901

[42] ‘Le roi très chrétien, touché du zèle des Ecossais, était porté à leur accorder les secours dont ils avaient besoin: qu’en conséquence, Sa Majesté voulait bien faire transporter dans ce royaume toutes les troupes irlandaises qui étaitent à son service, avec les armes et munitions et les 20,000 livres sterling qu’on demandait pour aider les montagnards à se mettre en campagne’ (Colin, p. 8).

[47] He died on January 29th (18th O.S.).
[48] That Fleury had proposed something is most probable He had for some time been complaining of the ‘insults’ what to-day we call pin-pricks with which the British Government had been annoying France in a time of peace These pinpricks culminated in June 1742 when a British army under Lord Stair landed in the Netherlands, with the intention of thwarting the French in their campaign against Austria.

[100] This is one of the very rarest of Jacobite pamphlets. There is a long account of the harsh proceedings of the Edinburgh magistrates towards Robert Drummond, the Jacobite printer who published the poem, in Hugo Arnot’s History of Edinburgh, 1778, book . chap. iv. See also Book of the Old Edinburgh Club, vol. viii., in which the poem is reprinted for the first time
[101] Mr. J. R. N. Macphail, K.C., has sent me a copy of Accusations laid against Grossett in December 1747. These are nine in number: he is accused (1) Of keeping an open trade at Alloa for smugglers ‘particularly in the tobacco way.’ (2) Of secreting the public revenue for a tract of years and of vitiating and forging the accounts. (3) Of granting land permits for wine to smugglers all over the kingdom. (4) Of arranging false prices with merchants who purchased at roup goods seized from smugglers. (5) Of suborning evidence even to perjury in connection with the sale of goods taken from the Rebels (6) Of being an accomplice of smugglers in trade and profits (7) Of passing goods after seizure and of accepting a bribe (8) Of mutilating the books of the public office (9) Of fraud, circumvention and oppression in many different cases
