The Jacobite Heritage

The Jacobite Heritage refers to the cultural and historical legacy of the Jacobite movement, which aimed to restore the British Stuart monarchy after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Rooted in loyalty to the exiled Stuarts, it fostered traditions, storytelling, music, and symbols that celebrate royalist ideals and Scottish identity. This heritage persists through historical commemorations, literature, and cultural expressions, reflecting a sense of continuity with a period of political upheaval and the enduring spirit of loyalty to a lost royal line. It remains an important part of Scottish and British history, inspiring pride and reflection on identity and heritage.
