Excerpt from Journal of a Summer Tour in the Perthshire and Inverness-Shire Highlands

At page 7 6, I mention the Rogers of Cupar grange as staunch adherents of the House of Stuart. William Roger there described, the fifth in descent from the Bailie-depute, did not join the insurgents, but there is abundant evidence as to his Jacobite' inclinations. My grandfather, Peter Roger, often referred to an incident in his early youth, how that when he was a boy of thirteen, the Prince passed through the haughs of Cupargrange. His father led him up to the Prince, who stooped down from his saddle and allowed him to kiss his hand Chambers, in his History of the Rebellion, has an entry descriptive of an interview with Hawley, a vapouring incompetent General Officer in the King's army, who being apprised on the l6th [jan 1746] by a Mr. Roger who had passed through the Highland army, and conversed with some of the ofircers, that there was a pro posal amongst them to march next day against him, treated the intimation with scorn. Hawley was disgracefully rented by the High landers, who captured his military stores.
