What does the Jacobite flag look like?

The Jacobite flag was and still is a white rose on a red background, the Jacobite rose can be seen on many Jacobite gravestones and is not unlike the white rose of York, The North East of Scotland, Banff and Buchan and Moray in Particular retains its Jacobite history and many Jacobite flags can be seen flying to this day. I disagree. The White Rose (White Cockade) on the red background is the National Trust for Scotland's flag to depict the Jacobite lines at Culloden the Hanoverian lines have a Black Cockade on a yellow background. The Jacobite flag i.e. the Princes Standard was a white box on a red background surrounded by a blue border.The White Rose or White Cockade as it was known was the emblem of the Jacobites and supporters wore a piece of white cloth in the shape of a white rose in their bonnets or costumes. Most of the Jacobite regimental flags were destroyed by Cumberlands orders where they were taken to Edinburgh and burnt by the Hangman.On flag that does survive is in Dundee Museum (Lord Ogalvie's Regiment from the Angus area of Scotland).


Were the MacDonalds jacobite supporters?

Yes, the MacDonald clan was known to be Jacobite supporters, particularly during the Jacobite risings in the 17th and 18th centuries. They played a significant role in the uprisings, with many members participating in battles such as the 1715 and 1745 Jacobite rebellions. Their loyalty to the Stuart cause was rooted in their desire for the restoration of the Stuart monarchy to the British throne. However, support varied among individual clan members and branches over time.
