welcome to my Jacobite rising blog

hi welcome to my little corner of the web this blog is for my Jacobite Rising wargames project and to discuss aspects of the 45 a pivotal moment in British history, that has sadly been ignored in my humble opinion .I will post pictures and discuss the various regiments involved in what was in effect a civil for control of Britain .

 

The  Mclean and Macleaod Clan Regiments

 

 

I decided to do this blog to help fellow wargamers who have an interest in the 45 as it can be a daunting project due to the lack of infomation and the many myths surrounding this conflict
