Tour Scotland photograph of a Clansmen with a Jacobite Musket at Scone Palace, Perthshire, Scotland. A Clansman with a muzzle-loaded, smooth bore long gun, which was intended to be fired from the shoulder. The Jacobites were the supporters of King James VII of Scotland and II of England, and his heirs. James VII and II ruled Britain from 1685 to 1689 but because he was a Roman Catholic he was replaced by his daughter Mary and her husband, the Dutch Prince William of Orange.
