 NAIRNE, Carolina, Baroness Nairne
NAIRNE, Carolina, Baroness Nairne (1766-1845), Scottish ballad writer, born at Gask, Perthshire, 16 August 1766, was the daughter of Laurence Oliphant.
Major Nairne’s duties required his presence in Edinburgh, and he and his wife settled first at Portobello and afterwards at Wester Duddington, in a house named Carolina Cottage presented to them by their relative, Robertson of Strowan.
Nairne was of a humorous, joyous temperament, but was restrained by the reticence of his wife, who was a victim of the "unseasonable modesty’’ impatiently noted by the historian of the family as a failing of the Oliphants.

 Prestonpans : Battles of the '45
Lord George, indeed, seems to have deliberately avoided Charles, for knowing that O'Sullivan had his ear, he had probably no wish to be drawn into discussing some hare-brained scheme inspired by the Adjutant-General.
On his part O'Sullivan, as a professional soldier, was equally critical of Lord George, some of whose ideas seemed to him to outrage accepted military practice, and the events of this afternoon were to provide a foretaste of the mistrust and ill-feeling that were to subsist between the two men throughout the campaign.
O'Sullivan's account, which is the sole record of this incident, suggests that as commander of the Athollmen, Lord George had no intention of letting them be ordered about without his knowledge and consent, but knowing that they were badly-armed, Murray may not unreasonably have considered them unfitted for this service.

Lord George's march appeared to be equally ill-advised and ill-executed.
While returning from the left for the third time, after giving Lord Nairne the Prince's final instructions with regard to the Athollmen, he had been surprised to see the Highland right in motion.
Not only had Cope and his staff already seen them, but they had also noticed Lord George's movement on the Highland right, and as it now seemed possible that a simultaneous attack was about to be launched on both flanks of the royal army.
