About the Jacobite Risings

The Jacobite Risings (1689–1746) were attempts to restore the deposed Stuart dynasty to the thrones of Britain and Ireland. They combined succession disputes, religious loyalties, regional grievances, and support from foreign powers. The defeat of the 1745 rising at Culloden ended the last major military challenge to the Hanoverian monarchy.

Geography of the Jacobite Risings

The principal risings occurred in Scotland, including the Highlands, northeastern districts, and the central Lowlands. Related fighting took place in Ireland, while Jacobite armies also entered northern England and reached Derby during the 1745 campaign. France and other continental bases supplied exiled leaders and occasional military support. Highland passes, coastal landing points, road networks, and control of fortified towns shaped the movement and supply of rebel and government forces.
