Aye to that. Alexander Robertson of Struan was the only man to participate in all three risings. My maternal family are descended from Clan Robertson.

I haven't seen much evidence to support my paternal clan's (Shaw) participation. I think they stayed out of the way as they were greatly reduced in strength and importance by this time. I could be totally wrong about that, though. Perhaps there was a Chattan contingent present?
