[PAR] [TLE] Sir John Wedderburn, 5th Baronet of Blackness [SEP] Sir John Wedderburn, 5th Baronet of Blackness was a Perthshire gentleman who joined the 1745 rebellion of Charles Edward Stuart and, captured at the Battle of Culloden, was afterwards convicted of treason.  He was hanged, his estates were forfeit to the Crown, and his family was attainted. [PAR] [TLE] Jacobite rising of 1745 [SEP] The Jacobite rising of 1745 (Scottish Gaelic: "Bliadhna Theàrlaich" ] , "The Year of Charles") was the attempt by Charles Edward Stuart to regain the British throne for the exiled House of Stuart.  The rising occurred during the War of the Austrian Succession, when most of the British Army was on the European continent.  Charles Edward Stuart, commonly known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie" or "the Young Pretender", sailed to Scotland and raised the Jacobite standard at Glenfinnan in the Scottish Highlands, where he was supported by a gathering of Highland clansmen.  The march south began with an initial victory at Prestonpans near Edinburgh.  The Jacobite army, now in bold spirits, marched onwards to Carlisle, over the border in England.  When it reached Derby, some British divisions were recalled from the Continent and the Jacobite army retreated north to Inverness where the last battle on Scottish soil took place on a nearby moor at Culloden.  The Battle of Culloden ended with the final defeat of the Jacobite cause.  Charles Edward Stuart fled with a price on his head before finally sailing to France.
