After the Battle of Glenshiel, the Jacobite leaders — the Earl Marischal, the Marquess of Tullibardine, Rob Roy MacGregor (wounded), the Earl of Seaforth — dispersed into the mountains of Wester Ross and Kintail. Government forces pursued through the trackless terrain but were unable to catch the fugitives, who knew the country intimately. The Jacobite leaders were sheltered by loyal clansfolk before reaching the coast to board ships to France. Tullibardine was particularly notable — he had been the man who unfurled the standard at Braemar in 1715 and would do so again at Glenfinnan in 1745, a quarter-century later.
