Born on Christmas Eve, 1786, MacGregor came from, well, the MacGregors, a Jacobite Clan that had only just been relegalized after 100 years as outlaws.
Slipping from valley to valley, hiding behind clever disguises and in sympathetic farmhouses, Charlie kept the Scottish dreams of his Jacobite followers alive.
On the second day of the 1715 Jacobite Rising, after leaving Rothbury the Jacobites moved on to Warkworth where in the marketplace they proclaimed James III as king.
