Dugal McQueen's Will Dugal McQueen was raised in the Highlands of Scotland. Prior 1707,Scotland made its own laws and her Kingdom was ruled by the Royal House of Stuart. In 1707, a British parliment passed the Act Of Union, uniting the countries of England, Scotland, and Wales under the British Crown. The Royal House of Stuart was dissolved. Scottish Highlanders remained loyal to the Royal House of Stuart and resolved to seperate themselves from England. The Highlanders began to be called Jacobites, after Jacobius, the Latin name for their leader James Edward Stuart. In 1715, the political situation in Britain led the Jacobites to believe they could reinstate the Stuart dynasty. On September 6, 1715, Dugal McQueen, Alexander, David, and Hector McQueen joined others in proclaiming Stuart King. On Sunday, November 13, 1715, British and Jacobites met on the battle field at Sheriffmuir. Jacobite forces were barely defeated and retreated to fight later that day in the Battle of Preston, fought at Preston, Lancashire. On November 14, 1715 Dugal McQueen along with McQueen's previously mentioned were captured. (Relationship unknown) Scottish Highlanders were known for their attachment to their land.
