Hi Spanky,
Nice to hear from Canada. Just like the USA, a lot of us scots live there due to the Highland Clearances.


Cheers,
Kenny.

I sent a copy of your last reply to one of my brothers and here is what he sent back to me. I thought you might enjoy it.


Hi Again,
After your last email I checked for Culloden and MacLachlan and one site had a map. It looked like the Farquahars were lined up right next to the MacLachlans in the battle formation and both appeared to be sort of in the middle of the line, almost right across from where the English artillery was. Probably not the best location if you wanted to survive the
battle!

Hi Farnum,
Yes, they were both in the middle. They probably fought together and died together, like a verse in the 'Skye Boat Song':

Many's the lad fought on that day
Well the claymore could wield
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden's field.


Cheers,
Kenny
