18th Century and Jacobite Risings
Appin naturally supported the Jacobite Risings and sent men to fight in both The 'Fifteen' and The 'Forty Five'. At the Battle of Culloden in 1746, the Appin Regiment suffered 92 killed and 65 wounded out of a fighting force of approximately 300. Charles Stewart of Ardsheal led the men of the regiment (which included men of ~19 other clans) during the rising of 1745. Ardsheal later escaped Scotland to meet his family in Europe where he spent the rest of his days.
