John Roy Stuart was the Colonel of the Jacobite Edinburgh Regiment, raised in October 1745 and disbanded after it suffered heavy losses at Culloden in April 1746. He was also a Gaelic Bard. The talk will consider his legacy and how his poems helped him to get through the Five Stages of Grief as a fugitive in the Highlands in the Summer of 1746. An initial half-hour presentation by Michael Nevin, Chair of The 1745 Association SCIO, will be followed by Q&A and a discussion led by the historian and journalist Michael Fry, author of 'A Higher World: Scotland 1707-1815' and a regular column on Scottish history every Monday in The National.
