Old Photograph Stonehaven Scotland
Old photograph of the town clock, a shop and people in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Stonehaven was a Jacobite town during the Jacobite rising of 1715, and it was a safe base for the retreating Jacobite army to stay overnight on the night of 5th of February 1716. During the Jacobite rising of 1745, Stonehaven, part of the Episcopalian north-east, was again reliably Jacobite and it was one of the north eastern ports where reinforcements, plus money and equipment were periodically landed from France. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
