Tour Scotland photograph of the Clan Cameron gravestone at Culloden Battlefield, near Inverness, Scotland. During the Jacobite rising of 1715 the Clan Cameron supported the Jacobite cause fighting on their side at the Battle of Sheriffmuir. They later fought at the Battle of Glen Shiel in 1719. The 18th Chief John Cameron of Lochiel, after hiding for a time in the Scottish Highlands, made his way back to exile in France. When Charles Edward Stuart landed in Scotland in August 1745 he was met by the Lochiel, 19th Clan Chief, who pledged his Clan's full support. The Jacobite rising of 1745 might never had happened if Lochiel had not come out with his clan. The Clan Cameron fought as Jacobites at the Battle of Prestonpans, Battle of Falkirk, and on the front line at the Battle of Culloden. After the Battle of Culloden, Donald Cameron of Lochiel, also known as Gentle Lochiel, took refuge in France, where he died in October 1748.
