As the political danger of Jacobitism receded, the movement was increasingly viewed as a romantic symbol of the past, particularly the final rebellion. Relics and mementoes of 1745 were preserved, and Charles himself celebrated in "increasingly emotional language". This memorialising tendency was reinforced by the publication in the 1830s of selections from The Lyon in Mourning by Robert Forbes (1708–1775), a collection of source material and interviews with Jacobite participants in the 1745 rising.

The vast majority of battlefield casualties during the campaign - around 1,500 - occurred at Culloden. Although many Jacobites went into hiding or simply returned home after dismissal, a total of 3,471 men were recorded as prisoners after the rebellion, though this figure probably includes some double counting, French POWs, and civilians. From these there were around 40 summary executions of 'deserters' and 73 executions after trial; 936 were sentenced to or volunteered for transportation; and 7-800 were drafted into the ranks of the British Army, often for service in the colonies. The remainder, with the exception of a few senior officers still at large, were pardoned by a 1747 Act of Indemnity. Divided gold and purple, with a white castle bearing an ancient crown, also divided purple and gold. [6] Cluny and his company deserted from Loudon's 64th Highlanders and joined the Jacobite army after Prestonpans: his regiment, raised in the area of Badenoch, fought at Clifton and was possibly 400 strong by the time of Falkirk. It was still en route to joining the main army when Culloden was fought, surrendering on 17 May.

The Jacobite Army, sometimes referred to as the Highland Army, [1] was the military force assembled by Charles Edward Stuart and his Jacobite supporters during the 1745 Rising that attempted to restore the House of Stuart to the British throne.The ensign used aboard ships of the Scottish Government, such as the patrol boats of Marine Scotland [ citation needed] As an insurgent army, the Jacobites did not have a formal uniform and most men initially wore the clothes they joined in, whether the coat and breeches of the Lowlands or the short coat and plaid of the Highlands. Notable exceptions were Charles's Lifeguard, who were issued with blue coats faced with scarlet, as were the Royal Ecossais; the Irish Brigade, as the lineal descendant of James II's Royal Irish Army, wore their traditional red coats. The well-dressed cavalry were used in an attempt to impress the local populace in several places: an observer at Derby said that they were "likely young men" who "made a fine show", whereas the infantry "appeared more like a parcel of chimney sweeps".

This unit, also known as the 'Edinburgh Regiment', was raised in Edinburgh by Stewart, a professional in the Royal Ecossais. Its complement of urban tradesmen and other volunteers were later joined by British army 'deserters'; one officer who served with it recorded the regiment "had a pretty good reputation". [85] After the march to Derby, the regiment was one of those assigned to the siege of Stirling, and it later fought in the front line at Culloden. During the Irish Rebellion of 1798, headed by the United Irishmen with French support, the Directory suggested making Henry King of the Irish. [133] [134] They hoped this would attract support from the Catholic Irish and lead to the creation of a stable pro-French client state. Wolfe Tone, the Protestant republican leader, rejected the suggestion, and a short-lived Irish Republic was proclaimed instead. [134] Monod, Paul Kleber (1993).

The saltire appears to have become the official national flag in 1385 when the Parliament of Scotland agreed that Scottish soldiers should wear the white cross as a distinguishing mark.
