Prisoners being led away at the Castle of Doune after the Battle of Falkirk in the second Jacobite Rising TO read many accounts of the 1745-46 Jacobite rising, you would think there were just two battles. These are Prestonpans and Culloden; the former a stunning victory for Prince Charles Edward Stuart and his army, and the latter a devastating defeat that ended all hope of the Stuarts regaining the throne and which led to attempted genocide of the Highlanders. Yet, another major battle took place during the Rising – and it is often ignored, probably because it does not fit the Unionist-dominated histories of the period.
