Siege of Inverness (1746)
The Siege of Inverness (also known as the Siege of Fort George〔Duffy, Christopher. (2007). ''The '45, Bonnie Prince Charlie and Untold Story of the Jacobite Rising.'' p. 447. ISBN 978-0-7538-2262-3.〕) took place in February 1746 and was part of the Jacobite Rising of 1745.〔
==Background==
By early February 1746 John Campbell, 4th Earl of Loudoun, supporter of the British government had nearly 2000 men under his command, mostly from the Independent Highland Companies.〔 He waited at Inverness for the Jacobites under ''Prince'' Charles Edward Stuart, however he was ordered by Duncan Forbes, Lord Culloden to quit Inverness in view of the superior size of the Jacobite force.〔 The Independent Companies were then transported over the Cromarty Firth, then over the Dornoch Firth and into Sutherland without loss.〔 Loudon's retreat had left him and his force 28 miles away from the ''Old'' Fort George in Inverness, which was now stranded beyond any possible hope of relief in the midst of the Jacobite force of 3,000 men.〔
