During the 1745 Jacobite Rising, Lord David Ogilvy, born 1725, died 1803, raised a regiment from local tenants; it retreated in good order from Culloden on 16 April and was disbanded at Clova on 21st. The homeland of clan Ogilvy comprises Glenisia, Glenclova and Glenprosen near Glamis. The chiefs of the clan take their name from the barony of Ogilvy, near Glamis, which was granted to them in 1127. Airlie Castle was the home of the Earls of Airlie, the chiefs of the clan, since the early 15th century until 1640 when it was raided by the Clan Campbell when the Earl was in England supporting King Charles I. They were staunch supporters of the Stewart cause after that and Ogilvys fought at Philiphaugh and Culloden. The second Earl of Airlie was captured at Philiphaugh and was condemned to death. However, on the eve of his execution his sister helped him to escape. The 4th Earl's young son raised the clan in 1645, and after Culloden he managed to escape to France. dressed in her clothes. The Earldon was restored in 1826 to the 7th Earl, whose son, the 8th Earl, was killed whilst leading his regiment in a charge in the South African battle of Diamond Hill in 1900. Other branches of the clan became the Earls of Findlater and Seafield, as well as the Lords of Banff. James Ogilvie was born in 1727, in Kirriemuir, Forfarshire, Scotland as the son of James Ogilvy. He had at least 4 sons and 1 daughter with Margaret Wilson. He registered for military service in 1778. He died before 1786, in St. George Parish, Georgia, British Colonial America. A single track road or one lane road is a road that permits two way travel but is not wide enough in most places to allow vehicles to pass one another, although sometimes two compact cars can pass. This kind of road with passing places is common in rural areas across the United Kingdom and elsewhere. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February.
