Siege of Blair Castle
The Siege of Blair Castle was a conflict that took place in Scotland in March 1746 and was part of the Jacobite Rising of 1745. 〔The Scots magazine and Edinburgh literary miscellany, Volume 70, Part 1 (1808)〕 It was fought between Scottish forces loyal to the British-Hanoverian government of George II of Great Britain who defended Blair Castle near to the village of Blair Atholl in Perthshire against Scottish Jacobite forces loyal to the House of Stuart.〔
==Background==
In February 1746 Prince William, Duke of Cumberland arrived at Perth, in command of the king’s army. The Duke sent two detachments from several regiments of infantry to secure the area of Atholl. One detachment of 200 men, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Webster was sent to occupy Castle Menzies, home of the chief of the Clan Menzies, Sir Robert Menzies of Weem.〔 This was in order to secure passage of the Tay bridge.〔 A second detachment of 300 men commanded by Sir Andrew Agnew, 5th Baronet who was Lieutenant Colonel of the Royal Scots Fusiliers (and chief of Clan Agnew) was sent to take up post at Blair Castle.〔
Blair Castle was the seat of James Murray, 2nd Duke of Atholl (chief of Clan Murray). James Murray actually supported the British government but most of his clan supported the Jacobite House of Stuart and were under the command of his brother Lord George Murray.〔
