Hello in the summer of 1745 a young man in a small French frigate landed on the west coast of Scotland

He had seven followers some of the Marish among his shipmates and took to the Highlands to raise an army from the Scottish Clans

The Highland Clans with sword in hand for a Johnner Grotes to early had tear man declared to stand or for with royal Charlie

Also one of the old Jacobite songs goes

But why was the laces sign of the Stuart dynasty such a favorite with the Scottish Highlanders did Bonniprint's Charlie ever have a real chance of gaining the throne of England
