George Lockhart of Carnwath 1689-1727

Daniel Szechi rectifies this anomaly by an in-depth analysis of the attitudes, beliefs and assumptions - the mentalit? - of one of the most active Jacobites of the early eighteenth century: George Lockhart of Carnwath, an almost stereotypical eighteenth-century Scottish man: a Commissioner for Midlothian in the Scottish Parliment; a member of the Commission charged with negotiating the treaty of Union; M.P. for Midlothian at Westminister; an improving landlord; an accomplished writer and pamphleteer. But most important of all, he was a committed, passionate Jacobite.
