”In 1715, Atholl adopted the same approach. James Murray, later 2nd Duke of Atholl, took the government side. He wrote letters to his three sons forbidding them to participate in the Rebellion, which he later produced as evidence of his loyalty.[7] ”
This could hardly be James Murray later 2nd duke of Atholl, who in 1715 had no sons but must be his father John 1st duke of Atholl writing to his three sons William, Charles and George. James Murray, later 2nd duke of Atholl did take the government side though. 83.248.144.245 ( talk) 00:10, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
In 1717, the Murrays were involved in efforts to gain support for an invasion from Sweden, then in dispute with Hanover over Pomerania. This was resurrected as part of the 1719 Rebellion, whose main component was a Spanish landing in South-West England; its objective was to capture Inverness, and enable a Swedish naval expeditionary force to disembark. Charles XII of Sweden died in November 1718, ending any hope of Swedish support, and the entire purpose of the Scottish uprising.
The death of Charles XII of Sweden did not defeat the entire purpose of the Scottish uprising? This is a very sweeping statement, considering the rising went on ahead months after Charles died. Perhaps you could say the death of Charles was one factor that led to the failure, but to say his death ended the entire purpose of the rising is false considering Spain was willing to contribute at this time.
Also the source cited for this paragraph does not make any mention of George Murray, or at least it certainly doesn't in the page number provided. PizzaTime 20 ( talk) 12:53, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
