I was recently on a trip to Wrocław and I saw panorama of Racławice (recommend👌) but in the picture I saw an unusual thing:

a highlander in the middle of cracovian peasants. so, I asked my history teacher if that situation would happened. she said no, only the local peasants took part in the Kościuszko Uprising.

so it was just the artists vision. but what could the vision of Wojech Kossak and Jan Styka, a highlander among Cracovians, represent?

in my opinion i think that authors of this picture wanted to show connectivity beetween different poles.

At that time, such an image was very useful for the quarreling nation after the partitions.

On 20th January 1746 Aeneas MacDonnell died of his wounds in his lodgings in Burns Court, Falkirk, and was buried in the Falkirk Trinity Kirk.

Known as Young Glengarry, MacDonnell had led the 800-strong Glengarry regiment to victory against the Hanoverian army, in the largest battle of the '45 Uprising - also the Jacobites’ last victory, he came through the battle unscathed, it was in tragic circumstances the day after the battle Aeneas the event happened that took his life.

A soldier of the Clanranald regiment had obtained a musket on the field of battle, a spoil of war. Jacobite soldiers had taken to lodgings in Burns Court opposite where the Trinity Kirk is now, which is part of the High Street, while cleaning the weapon he removed the ball , discharging a shot to clear the gun properly, unfortunately the musket had been double loaded and a shot discharged through the window of the house towards a group of soldiers in the street opposite, piercing the body of the young Glengarry.

Aeneas, second son of the Clan chief of MacDonnell of Glengarry, died in the arms of his colleagues begging that they forgive the unfortunate soldier, who he believed was innocent of any malice.

Unfortunately this fell on deaf ears and the men from Glengarry demanded his execution in reprisal, this was tragically carried out by his own clan. The man was taken out to wall and died “in a volley of shots” his own father emptied his gun into his son to make his death as instantaneous as possible.

Prince Charles, when learning of the accident appeased the Glengarry men, mindful that losing the attachment of his army would be a massive blow, consoled the Clan, ordering the grave of John de Graeme, who fell at the first battle of Falkirk be opened and the Young Glengarry be interred within. The Prince told the men it was the only place in the ancient kirkyard worthy to be honoured with his corpse.

The Prince attended the funeral as chief mourner and held the string which consigned his head to the grave. His “judicial kindness” was not unappreciated by the grateful Highlanders, but didn’t stop a large number of the clan to yield in their grief and desert his army.

The incident and its aftermath cast a pall of gloom over the Jacobite army, and some argue it began the disintegration of Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s now faltering cause. I don’t know if this would have affected the outcome of the Battle of Culloden, and there is no record how many men left.

Ranald MacDonnell, accompanied by Lady MacDonnell, unveiled a plaque outside Falkirk Trinity Church to commemorate this incident in 2018 in commemoration of Aeneas MacDonnell.

Aeneas MacDonnel was the younger brother of Alastair Ruadh MacDonnell, also known as Pickle the Spy

"Amidst the flames and smoke that consumed his village, a weary Alastair brandished his blood-soaked sword. He had to keep fighting, even if there was no longer chance to triumph."

Alastair's last stand

Digging these eighteenth-century highlander reenactors from an event in Georgia earlier this year. Not all perfect (how many reenactors can claim they are anyway?) but overall better fare than Hollywood's "big beards and open shirts and drab tartans."
