Ceud Měle Fŕilte! ~

Welcome!...to the 1740's in the Scottish Highlands and the last of the Jacobite Rebellions....

The Young Pretender has raised his standard, beckoning the clans to join him in his bid to reclaim the throne from the Hanoverians who sit upon it....

But not all the clans supported the Jacobite cause, some chose to remain neutral, or as neutral as one can during these trying times....

Whilst others, like the Campbells, Grants, Munros, Sutherlands, & Mackays remain mostly loyal to the Crown, forming independent companies and actively oppossing the Jacobite rebels!

Join us now as we take a closer look at the northernmost clan that remained loyal to George the 1st of Hanover;....the mighty Clan Mackay!

"Ne Obliviscaris" (Do Not Forget)
GOD BLESS AMERICA!


"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.
The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic
feeling of a person who thinks that nothing is worth war
is much uglier. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight -
- nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety and well being
-- is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free,
unless made and kept so by the exertions and blood of better men than himself."

~ John Stewart Mill (1806-1873) ~
