Lochiel's Charge at the Battle of Killiecrankie, Perthshire, Scotland, 27 July 1689: A Moment of Courage and Determination in Scottish History The image captures the thrilling moment of Sir Ewen Cameron of Lochiel's charge at the Battle of Killiecrankie, Perthshire, Scotland, on 27 July 1689. This pivotal event was part of the larger Jacobite Rising of 1689, an uprising aimed at restoring James II of England and VII of Scotland to the thrones he had lost in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Sir Ewen Cameron, a prominent Scottish leader, is depicted here at the head of his troops, riding fearlessly into the enemy lines. His men, proudly wearing their kilts and brandishing weapons, follow closely behind. The Scottish soldiers charge with determination and courage, their shields held high to protect against the English musket fire. The Battle of Killiecrankie took place in the narrow Pass of Killiecrankie, a strategic location that allowed the Scottish forces to use their superior knowledge of the terrain to their advantage. Despite their initial success, the Jacobites ultimately suffered a significant defeat, with Sir Ewen Cameron being one of the few notable exceptions. His daring charge became a symbol of Scottish bravery and resistance, and his name would be remembered in Scottish history as a hero. This evocative print, created in the 1680s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political upheaval and military conflict. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Scottish people and their unwavering commitment to their cause. The horses, their manes and tails flying in the wind, add to the sense of motion and energy, making this a truly captivating piece of historical art.
