The Scottish Jacobite movement was a series of uprisings and political efforts in the 17th and 18th centuries aimed at restoring the Stuart dynasty to the British throne. Supporters, known as Jacobites, primarily sought to reinstate James II and his descendants, who were ousted during the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The movement was fueled by a mix of political, religious, and cultural factors, particularly among the Scottish Highlands. Key events in the Jacobite movement include the Jacobite risings, notably the rebellions of 1715 and 1745. The latter, led by Charles Edward Stuart, also known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie," aimed to reclaim the throne but ultimately ended in defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The movement significantly influenced Scottish identity and history, leaving a lasting legacy in Scotland and beyond.
