On 13th April 1719 a small Spanish force, believing itself to be part of a much larger invasion planned for England to return the Jacobites to power, landed in Loch Duich, east of the site of what is now Kyle of Lochalsh.

The little known 'Little Rising’, saw a force of 300 Spanish soldiers land and combine with less than a thousand Highlanders, under George Keith, the 10th Earl of Marischal, William Mackenzie, the 5th Earl of Seaforth Lord George Murray and John Cameron of Lochiel.

The plan had been hatched by King Philip of Spain and Italian Cardinal Alberoni as a diversion to help in the campaign to restore Spanish power and territories ceded to the British following the Treaty of Utrecht. The Spanish force should have been much larger, but much of it had been destroyed by a storm. Added to this Highlanders did not join the Jacobites in the expected numbers, However, the Jacobites made their base at Eilean Donan Castle and intended to capture Inverness. Unfortunately, Hanoverian ships shelled the castle and the only battle was at Glen Shiel two months later when the Jacobites were defeated by a Government army led by General Joseph Wightman.

This uprising is often overlooked, the only “major” action was on June 10th at the Battle of Battle of Glen Shiel, more of that in a couple of months.

A wee added note to this, it was during this time that Eilean Donan was destroyed by Government ships bombarding it the ruined castle was abandoned until 1912 when it was purchased by Lieutenant-Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap. Rebuilding was undertaken between 1914 and 1932 and it was at this time that a bridge was built to link the island to the shore. The pics shows how the castle looked in the two centuries between these events and the restoration, and the ruin, as it was.

Found some stuff in an old folder from when I was (for some reason) putting famous Scottish Tweets alongside segments from the life of Queen Mary

I think I initially envisaged doing the rest of the Stewarts because when faced with Scottish tweets, Mary is not exactly the first person from Scottish history who would spring to mind, but we are where we are.

All credit to original tweet-er.

#I enjoyed finding them again so #Mary Queen of Scots #Scottish tweets #Scottish history #British history #the Stewarts #Also I've forgotten which Victorian artist is responsible for that horrendous rendition of Mary of Guise #Shame there are almost no pictures of Jean Stewart I really could have worked with that

On March 27th 1371 Robert II was crowned at Scone, the first of the famed Stewart dynasty.

The first monarch of the House of Stewart, Robert became heir to his namesake and grandfather, king Robert I Bruce in 1318. However, in 1324 a son was born to Robert I, the future David II. In 1326 Robert was recognised as David’s heir should the latter die without male issue. By this time Robert had inherited the title of steward of Scotland. At the Battle of Neville’s Cross in 1346, Robert fled the field together with Patrick, earl of March. At times I like to refer to the chronicles of the time and the local English one of the time tells us that.....

"if one was worthless, the other was nothing ... [the Steward] overwhelmed, by cowardice, broke his promise to God that he would never wait for the first blow in battle, and he fled with [March]. Turning their backs, these two fled valiantly with their force and entered Scotland unscathed, and so they led the dance, leaving David to dance his own tune.

King David II was taken prisoner and spent the next eleven years in English captivity, Robert Sewart became the guardian of Scotland until 1357, King in all but name. The relationship between David II and the Steward was poor and there is clear evidence that the Steward deliberately stalled progress towards the payment of the king’s ransom and his release from captivity. Shortly after David’s release in 1357 the Steward was created earl of Strathearn. King David II died without offspring on 22 February 1371 and Robert succeeded him to the throne, being crowned on 27 March 1371.

By the time he was actually King, rather than regent he was an old man by medieval standards and had difficulty controlling his nobles, who were eager to renew the war with England.

At 70, he was described as having 'eyes the colour of sandalwood, which clearly showed he was no valiant man but one who would rather remain at home than march the field'. His actions back in 1346 certainly point to a man who had no appetite for fight, unlike his Grandfather and namesake, The Bruce.

Robert married twice and produced 21 children (eight were illegitimate), and the fact that his first wife's children were born outside the marriage created long-standing bitterness as Robert III's reign was to show.

During Robert II's final years, his two eldest sons acted as his lieutenants. He died in 1390.

The pics show Aa16th-century manuscript illustration showing Robert II of Scotland and his second wife Euphemia, Countess of Moray. From the Froman Armorial the second is of his Great seal .
