Jacobite reenactment events

The Jacobite uprisings took place between 1688 and 1746 and were an attempt to get the Stuarts back on the throne. It eventually meant the end of the Scottish clans. The final battle took place at Culloden, close to Inverness, in 1746.

You can find a few reenactments of the battles in Scotland, but not nearly enough!

Jacobite reenactors are most commonly found at Celtic festivals or Highland games. Hopefully, there will be more Jacobite reenactment events in the following years, so we can learn more about the intriguing Scottish history.

BOOK TIP: "The King Over the Water: A Complete History of the Jacobites"

This is the first modern history for general readers of the entire Jacobite movement in Scotland, England and Ireland, from the ‘Glorious Revolution’ of 1688 that drove James II into exile to the death of his grandson, Cardinal Henry, Duke of York, in 1807. The Battle of Culloden and Bonnie Prince Charlie’s flight through the heather are well known, but not the other risings and plots that involved half of Europe and even revolutionary America.
