The Jacobite Knight is represented by James Drummond, Duke of Perth 1710 – 1746. A devoted and loyal supporter of the house of Stuart. Appointed by Bonnie prince Charlie as joint commander of the Jacobite Army with lord George Murray. Died aboard ship and was buried at sea whilst fleeing after Culloden.

The Queen :

The Castle :
In the style of a monument crowned with the Scottish thistle and depicting pipers, drummers and clansmen in relief.
The interesting thing is that I was wearing my Culloden tartan Kingussie kilt !
The girls could be proud of their surprise.
Well done, lassies !
Best,
Robert
