Description:
This is one of three copies of a map of the battle of Sheriffmuir, fought just outside Dunblane, Perthshire, on 13 November 1715, between the government forces of John Campbell, the 2nd. Duke of Argyll, and the forces of James Francis Stuart, led by John Erskine, Earl of Mar, also known as 'Bobbing John' because of his tendency to switch sides, depending on which was to his best advantage. It was a fairly indecisive battle, commemorated in a ballad of the time with the words 'And we ran, and they ran, And they ran, and we ran, And we ran, and they ran awa, man.' The two other copies are in images 00003171 and 00003172.
