"The end of the Highlander Way of Life..."

The series of Jacobite Rebellions is an interesting history that is often forgotten (or rarely talked about) in British history, perhaps because of the bigger events happening in Europe at the time. It's a sad, doomed history that divided many. Brothers from the same families fought on opposing sides, I’m sure there is evidence of this happening to 2 brothers.
An interesting fact that I learned was that there were more Scots fighting for the British Govt rather than for Bonnie Prince Charlie! The Bonnie Prince believed that he could unite Britain behind his cause because of his divine rights, Catholicism, and the Stuart name. However, I believe it was only the highlanders who joined because the lowlands (parts of), England, and Wales were primarily Protestant, not Catholics. Most of the support was France, Ireland, and Italian allies who never truly delivered what Bonnie Prince Charlie thought they would. It's a sadness that the Highlanders were the ones to take the fall for it in the end.

A few years ago in A Levels I wrote my EPQ on the Jacobite rebellion of 1745 and still enjoy reading about it to this very day. Thanks to Outlander and my holiday in Highlands for telling me about this history.

I think Outlander portrays it beautifully, the love story and sending Claire back through the stones only enhances the sadness and epicness! Definitely one of my favourite episodes, Dragonfly in Amber.
