December 1715 CE

A ship from France brings the Pretender, belatedly, to Peterhead on December 22, 1715, but he is too consumed by melancholy and fits of fever to inspire his followers.

He briefly sets up court at Scone, Perthshire, visits his troops in Perth and orders the burning of villages to hinder the advance of the Duke of Argyll through deep snow.
