John Du Cameron
John Du Cameron was a Scottish sergeant in the French army who came back to Scotland to support Bonny Prince Charlie in The 'Forty-Five'. When the rebellion failed he took to the hills with a band of renegades and fought on until he was captured and hanged in 1753. Because of his large size he was better known by the name of Sergeant Mor.〔'mor' is Scottish Gaelic for 'big' or 'large'. See http://glosbe.com/en/gd/big〕 He was a brigand to those who opposed him and his victims in the counties in which he operated (Perth, Inverness and Argyle), but a folk hero to those who sympathised with the aims of the rebellion (as shown by the mention of ''Sergeant Mor'' in ''The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond'', a poem by Andrew Lang).〔''Sergeant Mòr'' in some sources〕〔(The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond ), (Representative poetry on line ), Retrieved 9 February 2009〕〔(Loyalty of the Clans ), (Burke's Peerage and Gentry ), article from (Electric Scotland ) Retrieved 9 February 2009〕〔David Stewart (3rd edition 1825).
