The Jacobite Uprising refers to a series of rebellions in Great Britain during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, aimed at restoring the Stuart monarchy to the throne. The most notable uprisings occurred in 1715 and 1745, led by figures such as James Francis Edward Stuart and his son, Charles Edward Stuart, also known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie." These uprisings were fueled by discontent with the ruling Hanoverian dynasty and support for the Catholic Stuart claim. The 1745 uprising culminated in the famous Battle of Culloden in 1746, where the Jacobite forces were decisively defeated by the British government army. This defeat marked the end of the Jacobite cause and led to harsh reprisals against the Scottish clans that had supported the rebellion. The uprisings significantly impacted Scottish culture and identity, leading to changes in laws and customs in the aftermath.
