Old Photographs Mid Street Keith Scotland

Old photograph of shops, buildings and people on Mid Street in Keith, Moray, Scotland. During the Jacobite rising of 1745, the Jacobite army won a skirmish at Keith on 21 March 1746. A Jacobite party under Major Nicholas Glasgow and Captain Robert Stewart surprised and defeated a Government force, killing over 20 of them. This victory at Keith is an interesting reminder that the Jacobites were continuing to take the initiative in many parts of northern Scotland right up until the disaster at the Battle of Culloden.
