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!
