Col Anne MacKintosh

One of the most notable members of this family has to be "Colonel Anne Farquharson-MacKintosh"

who single-handly gathered 800 of her clan in support of "Bonnie Prince Charlie" in the year 1745 and placed them under the leadership of the MacGillivray chief at the Battle of Culloden.Her husband being in the service of the English King George at the time.

The story has finally been told of the love,faith and conviction that drove this woman to do what no other had done before.Though a romantic tale it also is one of tragedy and sorrow as so many of the clan were lost in the battle to restore the Stuart Dynasty.Having fled the battle "Bonnie Prince Charlie" was aided by "Col. Anne" to make way to ships that would take him back to France ending forever the hopes of the Scottish people of the restoration of the crown and thier freedom from English tyranny.

In the words of the author Jean Mackintosh-Goldstrom...

"This soft cover edition is the first comprehensive study of this

fascinating woman who along with her clansmen fought valiantly to

restore " Bonnie Prince Charlie" to the Stuart throne as rightful King

of Scotland. Lady Anne Mackintosh made history when she raised the

Mackintosh and Chattan Clans to fight for the Bonnie Prince - while her

husband, the clan chief, fought on the other side, for the king! That's

how she earned the honorary and affectionate title "Colonel Anne." She

earned her military honors again, when 1,500 English soldiers tried to

capture the Prince visiting at her home, Moy Hall. "Colonel Anne" and

five of her staff tricked them into fleeing for their very lives - an

event still fondly remembered in the Highlands as "The Rout of Moy."

After the ruin of the Prince's hopes at the Battle of Culloden, the

English punished "traitors" mercilessly. The famous Colonel Anne was

high on their list. She was to hang, after 200 armed soldiers arrested

her. But this bright as well as beautiful woman was not so easily

removed; she lived to make a public fool before all London society of

the English general who had so brutalized the Highlanders."

Available in a special softcover edition book written by "Jean MacKintosh Goldstrom" the story unfolds.
