Old Photograph Murray Street Montrose Scotland
Old photograph of shops, houses and people on Murray Street in Montrose, Scotland. The final chapter of the ill fated 1715 Jacobite rebellion was played out in Montrose. Towards the end of the uprising, which had lasted nearly six months, from September 1715 to February 1716, James Francis Edward Stuart, the Old Pretender; formerly James, Prince of Wales, arrived in Montrose, where he spent his last night in Scotland, on 4 February 1716. He sailed from Montrose to exile in France. The town was held for his son, Charles Edward Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie; the Young Pretender, 30 years later and in February 1746 the largest naval battle of the war was fought in Montrose Harbour.
