A BATTLE trust wants local heroes to be honoured in the street names given to a new town being built on part of its historic site. The Battle of Prestonpans Trust has produced a wish list of names for the new East Lothian settlement of Blindwells commemorating the historic figures and places from the famous Jacobite victory. Top of its list of names are four local men who came from neighbouring Tranent and made their mark in Bonnie Prince Charlie’s 1745 victory. They include Robert Anderson Way, to commemorate a quartermaster in the Jacobite army who guided the soldiers on a treacherous path using local knowledge; Henderson Road, in honour of Alexander Henderson, who joined the army after acting as a guide as they passed through the town; and Davidson Road for Henry Davidson, a stonemason who fought with the Jacobites and joined the Prince’s Lifeguards after the battle.
