What They Don't Say About the Jacobite Uprising 1715: The Battle of Preston
Рет қаралды 286,473
Күн бұрынYou'll have heard of the Jacobite uprising in 1715, but it's what they don't say that Scottish history tour guide Bruce Fummey reveals in another of the tales from Scotland;s history that's often forgotten. The Jacobite rebellion (I prefer uprising) of 1715 ended at Sherrifmuir so they say, but there was more to it than that.

Under John Erskine, Earl of Mar some Jacobites in 1715 went further south, and even crossed the border for what I've heard described as the last battle on English soil. Whether or not that's true the Battle of Preston on the same day as Sherrifmuir should also be recognised as the end of the 1715 Jacobie uprising.

Scotland History Tours is here for people who want to learn about Scottish history and get ideas for Scottish history tours. I try to make videos which tell you tales from Scotland's past and give you information about key dates in Scottish history and historical places to visit in Scotland. Not all videos are tales from Scotland's history, some of them are about men from Scotland's past or women from Scotland's past. Basically the people who made Scotland. From April 2020 onward I've tried to give ideas for historic days out in Scotland. Essentially these are days out in Scotland for adults who are interested in historical places to visit in Scotland.
As one of Scotland history tour guides people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation of your from the US. So from April 2020 I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.

I was excited to find this video! An ancestor of mine, my several great grandfather, was captured at Perth. Sylvestor Proffit was captured and sent to America. The ship manifest lists him as being someone who was not going to be indentured. However, he was sold into indentured servitude upon arriving in the area of Jamestown. I have read this was sometimes done by the captain of the ship to pay for the passage. After serving out his time he was given a land grant and ended up owning quite a bit. I am very interested in my Scottish ancestry and hope to learn more. Again, thank you for posting this video because I never hear about the Battle of Preston.

This is a history of the common people and how the interests of the ruling classes will always ride roughshod over them. It was heartbreaking and showed that the real battle in Scotland and England wasn’t between Hanoverians and Stewarts, but between the aristocracy and the rest of us. Well done mate, I would have broken down relating that story. Look I was brought up in East London, but I’m a bit of a mixture genetically speaking - what I call hybrid vigour. Good on yer mate, keep on telling it as it was.

That was the only bit that threw me as Preston Docks (before the whole modernisation) was one of the main reasons for its prominence and later status as the administrative capital of Lancashire. But then again, it is quite far down the Ribble, so - unlike Liverpool which feeds almost directly into the sea - it would have needed a bit of a journey down the river, before reaching open enough water for proper maneuvers which could quite easily have been wiped out from the banks (Or a decent warship or two). In fact, I wonder if that's how BAe started in Warton, they were building Anti-Jacobite cannon in the 18th Century and just updated with the times! 😁

Great videos! How about a follow-up video about the escape from Newgate? Or have you already covered that? My ancestor John Mackintosh was a junior officer in the Mackintosh regiment, also held at Newgate (but not part of the escape). His defence (judging by letters of character reference written by firends of his and accessible online) was that he was an unwilling participant, pressured by the clan into joining the march south. His defence must have worked because he continued to have children in Scotland after that, including the daughter I'm descended from.

I'm 64 now but still remember well the first time I read Devil water. It was a beat up old paperback one of the first books I ever read around 1970 that wasn't a science fiction or sword and sorcery novel. I have to admitt it was the cover painting of the buxom Scottish lass. After reading the first few chapters I was hooked on th😅e story. I'm an American but very interested in history. Later on I got my Bachelor's degree in History. The military history of the Jacobite rebellions fascinated me as we didn't learn anything about that time in the states unless you took a course on British history in college. I was stationed in Germany back in the 80s and hoped to get over to Britain for a short trip but this was the height of the cold war and we stayed on alert almost constantly. It's still on my bucket list

Scotland,s history! The U.K. is a State a Union between the Kingdom of England, Wales and N Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland. So not England’s history!

Liked and subscribed after 5 minutes. I am McIntosh and you have filled in a few blank places that I have been researching for over 30 years now.. My immediate blood forefather "escaped" to America to join 2 of his Uncles already here. All 3 where part of the Boston Tea Party and other significant Battles of our American Revolution. If I could visit Scotland and look you up, I would show you some of the original documents and personal letters I have. I would gladly buy the first several rounds, and ask and answer hundreds of questions. Most of all I would hope to have a new friend with a shared history. By the way. We have many counties with McIntosh and other Scot names. An entire mountain range in eastern Kentucky named after McIntosh. Legend has it because so many McIntosh settled there and documents show they settled there because it reminded them so much of the Highlands of home. GOD Bless you Sir. Continue your journey.

Sounds so interesting, but I'm going to have to watch again - totally distracted by views of Kelso, the town I lived two miles from, and went to school in from age ten, fifty years ago! Thank you for this treasure.

I know this is off topic, but can someone explain why the rightful King and Prince Charlie were called pretenders to the throne of England and Scotland. They were the rightful heirs to the throne! I am flummoxed by this. Thank you!

In retrospect, there were other ports that the Jacobites might have used; Lancaster, Sunderland Point and even Preston itself were all substantial ports in the 18th century
