George Faulkner's Dublin Journal on Highland Uprising at Douglas and Edinburgh
The Dublin Journal recounts Highlanders led by Lord George Murray marching from Douglas to Hamilton then to Lanark, looting and burning, with Duke of Perth and Lady Ogilvie among witnesses. It includes George Murray’s party terrorizing homes, seizing arms, and damaging ministers’ properties, plus a reported speech by the Duke of Perth and a long, critical letter detailing failed English aid and French promises, ending with mixed hope and doubt about further action.
