The Battle of Falkirk Muir 1746: The Last Jacobite Victory

On bleak moorland in atrocious weather during the depths of the Scottish winter, a makeshift Jacobite Army of some seven thousand men under the command of Prince Charles Edward Stuart decisively defeated General Henry Hawley's much larger and better equipped professional Government Army. How was this victory achieved? And why, having routed the redcoats, was Prince Charlie's army then annihilated at Culloden just three months later? On the 275th anniversary of the Battle of Falkirk Muir in January 2021, the Bannockburn House Trust invited Michael Nevin, Chair of The 1745 Association, to address these questions, recalling the remarkable story of The Last Jacobite Victory.
