Stennis Historical Society

On our YouTube channel bit.ly/StennisYT, is an updated video, describing how & why we made various British Army cantonment maps. Revised narration describes latest yearly maps, explaining the changing geographical distribution with more emphasis on the 1750s.

30 years this month since 1st edition of this was published: still selling a good number of copies every year.Thanks to everyone who read its reframing of the '45's national quality by showing the scale of Lowland recruitment & opposition to Union @JacobiteTruth @ScotHistNetwork

@Free_to_leave @BjCruickshank Richard, the latest cantonment/camp related material is at cantonmentmaps.scot (see menu at top left). Stennis itself is no longer functioning, but older material is archived at bit.ly/stennishs (no capitals).

@BjCruickshank @JacobiteTruth There is a very helpful Youtube video which gives a time element to these camps with a colour code showing how temporary or permanent these camps were. I not found a current website for Stennis. Maybe someone else might know if there is one and if so what the address might be.

The British have always tried to bury Scottish history because they know it can destroy the so called union. Tune in if you can: x.com/SymbolStones/s…

The Scotland Channel has re-published historical author Stuart McHardy's video on The Military Occupation of Scotland: youtube.com/watch?v=lx7fJY… - the transcribed Cantonment Register, cantonment maps and more are at cantonmentmaps.scot

The valuable Internet Archive is back following a cyber attack. The recently updated research document for the British Army Cantonments in Scotland 1745-56 is now archived there: archive.org/details/Canton… as well as at cantonmentmaps.scot/downloads

Research document for cantonments updated to V3.0 - added extra cantonments, extra dates of occupation, extra source doc, updated maps. Detailed records best viewed on a wide screen or tv. cantonmentmaps.scot/downloads

Due to technical issues, the Stennis website address has changed slightly. It can be accessed via the new short link bit.ly/stennishs (no longer capitalised), or via a link on the home page of cantonmentmaps.scot

"The army drawn up in line of battle at Bannockburn awaiting an attack". This was 1746 not 1314, and would have involved Bonnie Prince Charlie not Robert the Bruce. In the end the attack took place at Falkirk, so not Bannockburn II. Source: Supplement to Lyon in Mourning, P36.

#otd On 19 August, 1745, Prince Charles Edward Stuart raised his standard at Glenfinnan. The #Jacobite Rising had begun. But it could all have gone very differently. For Historia, @_FrancesOwen writes about the story behind the event at historiamag.com/raising-jacobi…

The fascinating discovery of a musket ball hole at @BannockburnHSE could change what we know about an attempted assassination on 'Bonnie Prince Charlie'. The bullet hole was found by volunteers and authenticated by @P14Murray & @murrayJamescoo1. More: gla.ac/3LBwb6c

@P14Murray @N_T_S Further evidence of the ban on wearing tartan is in Situation Reports of the British Army on Highland Service, Summer 1751 which we transcribed bit.ly/StennisDocs. John McPherson was "taken up for wearing the phillibeg or little Kilt" and "Committed... to [Killin] prison".

From 1 August 1746 ‘no man or boy…shall, on any pretext whatever, wear…Plaid,Philabeg, Trowse…no tartan shall be used’ 19 Geo 2 c.39 s.17 @N_T_S guide was correct
