EDITORS COMMENTS
John Erskine, 6th Earl of Mar: Council of War before the Battle of Sheriffmuir, Perthshire, Scotland, 13 November 1715 This evocative print captures the intense moment of strategic planning and unity among the Scottish Jacobite leaders, gathered in the Scottish countryside prior to the Battle of Sheriffmuir on 13 November 1715. The scene takes place during the Jacobite rising, also known as the Fifteen, an attempt by James Edward Stuart, the Old Pretender, to regain the British throne from the House of Hanover. At the center of the gathering stands the charismatic and influential John Erskine, 6th Earl of Mar, who played a pivotal role in the uprising. Surrounded by his men, clad in kilts and adorned with tartan, they engage in a passionate and focused discussion, their faces etched with determination and resolve. The earl, with a sword in hand, leads the council, his gaze steady and unwavering as he listens intently to the advice of his advisors. The council members, also armed with swords and other weapons, lean in, their expressions serious and intent. The atmosphere is one of unity and agreement, as they prepare to face the English forces led by the Duke of Marlborough. The landscape, dotted with trees and rolling hills, adds to the sense of the raw, untamed power of nature and the fierce spirit of the Scottish people. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the historical significance of the Battle of Sheriffmuir and the Jacobite rising, a pivotal moment in the annals of Scottish and British history. The determination and unity displayed in this council of war serve as a poignant reminder of the indomitable spirit of those who fought for their cause, regardless of the ultimate outcome.
