Classify 18th Century Scottish Women

[Graham]

All From Alan Ramsay. First six I came across.

1.Margaret Lindsay Ramsay
Brown-eyed eldest daughter of Sir Alexander Lindsay of Evelick. She is notable as a member of the Clan Murray, largely pro-Jacobite in sympathies at this time (her mother Amelia's father and brother both supported that cause), but also including pro-Hanoverians such as William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield. Through her father she was a member of the Clan Lindsay (the naval officer John Lindsay was her brother), which joined the '15 Jacobite rebellion, but not the '45. She became the second wife of the artist Allan Ramsay.

Yes Cameron. :)

Tradition has it that Jenny Cameron, sister of Cameron of Dungallon and Glendessary, rallied the men of the district, and led them to the 'raising of the standard' at Glenfinnan in August 1745, in support of Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Ramsay was an excellent painter. I do actually feel like they could be walking about today, but in silly clothes. :P

These women were better off than many-Scots of the time.

They could pass as modern. I've seen lots of women with the same faces here. They're better off but their faces are common. They were just lucky rich shits at their time.
