| | History of the Clan Macrae - House of Stuart (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | In 1745, notwithstanding the fact that Seaforth remained loyal to the House of Hanover, a number of young and resolute Macraes left Kintail to join the army of Prince Charles Stuart, and it is said that many more would have followed if they had not been restrained by force. |
 | | The estates were bought from the Crown in 1741 for the benefit of his son, Kenneth, who was known by the courtesy title of Lord Fortrose, which was the subordinate title of the Earls of Seaforth. |
 | | Lord Fortrose was the "Seaforth" of the time of Prince Charles Stuart, but, notwithstanding his well-known Jacobite sympathies, he considered it more prudent to remain loyal to the House of Hanover. |
