The exact number of Scottish Jacobites in 1745 is difficult to determine, but estimates suggest that around 5,000 to 10,000 men supported the Jacobite cause during the uprising led by Bonnie Prince Charlie. This included various clans and their supporters who rallied to restore the Stuart monarchy. The Jacobite army fluctuated in size throughout the campaign, with numbers varying due to recruitment, desertion, and battles.
