Perhaps a bit more on this because I am a tad heated under the collar (my apologies to all of you).
The largest grave on Drumossie Moor contains the bits and pieces of Clan Chattan folk. I have more than one ancestor who's dust is mingled there. They may well all have died for what they believed in -- who's to know now? -- but I have other ancestors who absented themselves from that place, also for reasons just as valid but just as unknown today.
"Jacobite" is not an active word in Highland Scotland. We live in a 21stC world with a wonderful history, if fully understood. Our great-grandfathers' lives were not yesteryear's myths come to an end in 1746 and yet still existing as though they had not. We live in a vibrant and very real society that has comfortably evolved into what it is.
