EDITORS COMMENTS
Advance of the Highlanders at the Battle of Prestonpans (or Battle of Gladsmuir), East Lothian, Scotland, 21 September 1745: A captivating image of the daring charge of the Scottish Highlanders during the Jacobite Rising. The year was 1745, and the British Army, led by Lieutenant General Sir John Cope, underestimated the determination and courage of the Scottish rebels, who were rallying under the command of James Grant, Lord Glenbervie, and James Francis Edward Stuart, the "Old Pretender." The Highlanders, clad in their iconic tartan kilts and bearing swords and rifles, are depicted here in a bold and strategic advance, charging towards the unsuspecting British troops on horseback. The horses, sensing the imminent danger, rear up in fear, adding to the chaos and intensity of the scene. This historic moment took place at the Battle of Prestonpans (or Battle of Gladsmuir), which marked a significant victory for the Jacobites. The battle is celebrated as a turning point in Scottish history, as it bolstered the morale of the Jacobite forces and paved the way for their eventual march on Edinburgh. The 18th century scene is brought to life in this evocative print by Terry Parker, capturing the raw energy and spirit of the Highlanders as they charged into battle, determined to secure their freedom and restore the Stuart monarchy to the British throne.
