Which Clans Fought at the Battle of Culloden?
Which clans fought at the Battle of Culloden? On the 16th of April 1746, the last pitched battle to take place on British soil resulted in a resounding victory for the British under the command of Duke of Cumberland against the Jacobites led by Charles Edward Stuart, or Bonnie Prince Charlie.
But who fought here? If we start with the Jacobite army under Charles, the first line was made up of the following clans…

Thanks for watching! Please let me know your thoughts below...
I was wondering if you could make a short video on the variation of some names like McIntyre I really want to know more about my last names origin its original form is tSaoir and I only have my last name McIntyre which has gone through countless centuries of rewording to go off of in researching
I've heard the Atholl Highlanders included 200 MacDougalls. The chief didn't join in the uprising but his brother did & fought at Culloden.
The Robertson clan contingent, led by Donald Robertson of Woodsheal, suffered along with the rest of the Atholl Brigade. About half of its men were left on the field of battle.
Donald was wounded and left for dead. His younger brothers, Alexander and Charles, both died. Alexander was killed while attempting to cut his way through to his wounded older brother while Charles died later from his wounds.
My grandfather was there, William Lawson of the McLaren clan. He was 15 and there with his father, William Lawson - go figure. There were a lot of teenage boys captured and taken to the prison in London. The English wasn't sure what to do with them. Public outcry kept them alive but many of these boys were now heads of their clan and welded a lot of power. The English couldn't keep 2-way conversation from happening between them and their families and they made a lot of trouble while in prison. Many were sent to America as endentured servants including my grandfather. He was put in the house of a loyal English subject and given into the care of the cook. The first time the cook got up in his face, young William grabbed up a kitchen knife and cut off a couple of the cook's fingers. He ran out the door and no one ever found him. He had family in the colonies and safe haven. William Lawson had a long life and many children. As an old man he fought the English again, in the revolution. Because he and a few other colonels took their men, surrounded the English army and pushed them up to the top of a mountain before springing on them, the Americans won that war. They claim the he may be the only man to fight in 2 revolutions. They called him "The Rebel Lawson" which is on his tombstone in Snowflake Virginia to this day.
English? 😂 Learn history mate from a Fraser.
😂 Someones had a few shandys
Your grandfather was alive in the 1700s? How old are you?
Americans 😅
Amazing, your grandfather fought at the Battle of Colloden. He was 15 years of age. That was 278 years ago, how old are you? And to what ages did your father and grandfather live. That must be a record.
Thanks for sharing 😊
I would love to know of my ancestors who fought and died at Culloden... I'm sure there were many, my parents were MacLeod/ MacDonnell, there's also Stewart and MacDonald in the mix, and many others.
That's interesting. I recognized 17 names from my family tree.
Another excellent video, well done.
Thank you
Im pretty sure some malcolm’s also fought as im 90% sure there was a malcolm stone or perhaps MacCallum one?
I think my ancestors were Clan Macmillan as well 🏴
McIntyre!!!
Interesting
Hello! Im curious, is there a Drummond headstone at the Culloden battlefield? I know Lord Drummond died at sea from his battle wounds but I believe a cousin died on the field? Thanks :)
A few of my ancestors fought at Culloden, however they weren't active participants as a clan, they did however engage at Bannockburn, very much so, and were ardent support to Robert The Bruce, his daughter Marjories daughter, Isabella, married my 25th great grandfather
Do you fancy doing a video on King James VI and how his decisions have continued to impact society even today? I have mixed feelings on him, in some instances he is looked back upon as a "good" king, but with regards to the witch trials he is ultimately responsible for the deaths (many by strangulation and burning) of over 3000 people, mainly women. Whilst my ancestors were apparently close to him and his wife, I find it hard to reconcile with his decisions, but obviously understand perspectives on religion, and fear of the "devil" were very different back then. I know he eventually changed his stance slightly but it doesnt excuse the torture thousands went through both due to his direct, and indirect, involvment. Have you read Daemonology at all?
Clan Baird fought as well. I do believe
Mc Arthur clan aligned to the McDonalds.
Malcom Durward of Mullach and his two brothers fought at Calloden.
The narrator must have been from clan mc bald
Maclaren!!! 😉
HOLD FAST MACLEOD!.
Clan Menzies is surely pronounced clan Meengis by Scots? Please! MacLean is pronounced as in lane not clean.
Hello from Montana,ever heard of Peter McMullan,🐓☠️🚬🗡️🗡️☠️
Did Any Clan Morrison or Morrison's fight ??
I never came across any mention of them, but perhaps they did. It's hard to get a complete breakdown of everyone involved, although I tried to as best as possible
Moir of Stonywood's Battalion of Lord Lewis Gordon's Regiment
LONG LIVE CLAN MACLACHLAN
gotta be careful how you pronounce Menzies tho..........
If you were around in 1745, would you have fought with the Clan Cameron Regiment, along with the rest of the MacMillian Clan? Ach... politics is complex, globally today, and not just 18th century Scottish.
My mother was born a 'MacMillan'. I'm glad her family made it to South London!
It's pronounced "Mingiss" not menzies
Since i started watching the outlander tv series , i have admired how Scottish resisted against the aggression of the crone that time .
The battle of culloden shows how Scottish clans were braves and fought by their hearts. Kinships and bloodlines always make the societies stronger and fight against their common enemy. If there were no clans culloden battle would never happen .
I have visited Glasgow and Edinburgh, one day when walking around the buchanan street , i saw building named ( House of Fraser) its a clothing shop now .
I got a glimpse of lallybroch the house of James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser , I would like to visit inverness i see if its still there .
Can anyone confirm to me if its there i mean lallybroch .
Thanks 🙏
Get back to the jungle, monkey
Do your self a favour, read real history books, not a fictional tv series. Romantic claptrap.
What happened to the pro-British Clans? Did they evolve into today's Highland regiments?
Yes, many of those men served in British army units like the Black Watch.
The Highland regiments were made up of all of Highland Clans. After the battle, General Wolfe approached the Clans and offered to form regiments, based on their clan. They were all integrated into the British army and fought at every campaign there after. Usually going in first, because of the psychology of the Highland charge, devastating effect against the French.
The Highland regiments (Clans) were very much involved in the British vs French, in the fight for Canada.
Good video, but stop trying to be Bruce Buffer. Macfie checking in. Well done.
FRASERS 🎉❤🎉❤
Is that a real accent or a SNP one? Sorry meant as a poor joke!
