Rare Jacobite Pistols Reunited | Aberdeen News

Two rare 1700s pistols, crafted by a Montrose gunmaker and tied to the fiery Jacobite uprisings, are set to reunite for the first time in 30 years—offering a gripping window into Scotland’s turbulent past. Once smuggled to France after the 1745 rebellion, these intricately engraved weapons resurfaced in 1993 and now take center stage in the exhibition “Tartan & Turmoil: The Angus Jacobite Story.” The show brings to life the stories of exiled families, Stuart treasures, and Montrose’s vital role as a rebel port—proving the Jacobite cause was deeply rooted in Angus, not just the Highlands. Don’t miss this rare chance to see history’s most dramatic artifacts side by side, from July 17 to November 23. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
