Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Gathering Stone, Sheriffmuir - geograph.org.uk - 1042868.jpg |
English: The Gathering Stone, Sheriffmuir The iron ribs protect a fallen and broken pillar known as the Gathering Stone. According to legend The Duke of Argyll, commanding the Hanovarian army, watched the course of the battle of Sheriffmuir from here on the 13th November 1715. The Jacobite army was commanded by the Earl of Mar and several large mounds adjacent to the stone are believed to be mass graves of those Jacobites who were killed.
However, the battle was inconclusive, "Some say that we won, and some say that they won, and some say that nane won at all." The stone is a focal point on the battlefield hence the flowers. |
