Kincardineshire and the Rebellion of 1745-46....
|
|
On 7 May
1746 a general letter was transmitted to the various supervisors in
Scotland asking them to make out a list of those who had in any way aided
or abetted the Stewart Rebellion. The resulting names of those belonging
to Kincardineshire are shown below. I think you will find it of great
interest.
