Exploring the religious cultures, beliefs and imperatives that shaped the Jacobite movement in Scotland The Revolution of 1688-90 was accompanied in Scotland by a Church Settlement which dismantled the Episcopalian governance of the church. Clergy were ousted and liturgical traditions were replaced by the new Presbyterian order. As Episcopalians, non-jurors and Catholics were sidelined under the new regime, they drew on their different confessional and liturgical inheritances - pre- and post-Reformation - to respond to ecclesiastical change and inform their support of the movement to restore the Stuarts. In so doing, they had a profound effect on the ways in which worship was conducted and considered in Britain and beyond. This book provides a fresh examination of the Jacobite movement based not on dynastic identification but on confessional and intellectual bases of support, focusing on the composite and nuanced traditions that sustained the Jacobite movement for seven decades beyond the 1688-90 Revolution.

Awkward Neighbours

The Stuart Kingdoms in the Seventeenth Century

This is an appraisal of clanship both with respect to its vitality and its eventual demise, in which the author views clanship as a socio-economic, as well as a political agency, deriving its strength from personal obligations and mutual service between chiefs and gentry and their clansmen. Its demise is attributed to the throwing over of these personal obligations by the clan elite, not to legislation or central government repression.
