Tartan on the Bias?

[BoldHighlander]

Isn't the story behind this painting that the Jacobites in it were suppose to have been modeled on prisoners the government was holding after Culloden?

That's the story. I've also read that the individuals were members of the Athoe Brigade although I'm not sure how someone writing some 200 years after the event would be able to tell or know.

Thanks Peter, I thought I was recalling that correctly, though I didn't know it first got circulated 200 yrs after the fact.

Can't recall where I read it. It was years ago. Prebble perhaps.
