Battle of Prestonpans Re-enactment - Jacobite with Tin Whistle
A Jacobite soldier relaxes in camp by playing his tin whistle before the Battle of Prestonpans re-enactment in 2011. I missed last years event, but am currently going through my archives looking for unprocessed gems from 2011. I like this one as he looks the real thing. Music before bloody battle must have helped to soothe jangling nerves and aid the onset of sleep. The Jacobites were brave men fighting a doomed cause trying to resurrect the Stewart dynasty and bring catholic monarchy back to Britain. Despite popular myth, there were more Scots against this cause than for it and they also had English sympathisers. Scots fought on both sides during the short-lived war and like the American Civil War, brothers could be fighting against brothers.
