Battle of Culloden 279 years ago

[Troglodyte]

It was my understanding that Glencoe was largely orchestrated by the very Dutch William of Orange. Either way, still not English. I do get annoyed when people use English when they mean British. Or think all Scotland is the Highlands.

Reference for fellow colonials:
English: From England

British: From the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, including England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland

If any of the above is wrong, please correct me

You are right. William of Orange was Dutch, but he was the grandson of Charles I and husband of Mary, who was daughter of the ousted James II - from whom we get the Jacobite following.

William had an obvious claim to the Crown of the United Kingdom - and took it by rebellion or Glorious Revolution, according to your personal stance.

Revolution is only the name given to a successful rebellion, but William and Mary were no less royal and Stewart than James, who was William's father-in-law.

Complicated and awkward for all...
