This looks like him, Donald MacAlpine, 50, duke of Perth's Regiment, carrier for Sir R Clifton's Works, Perth, taken, died!

Ref' Seton Gordon, "Prisoners of the '45" Scottish History Society, Edinburgh 1928.
The only MacAlpine I can find. Welcome to RC.

Bests,

thank you for the welcome. I assume he died at Tilbury?  He was taken there, and there were no court records.Many died of typhus while there

It is only recently that I found that he was taken from Inverness to Tilbury, I always thought he died on the field.

Thank you for posting the list. I am looking for more information on the McLeod. Any information you can provide would be very helpful.

I have been looking at the list of Jacobite prisoners posted here for James Neilson. He is not listed but his name does appear in the catalogue entries for three consecutive lists in the National Archives:
SP 36/79/1/28 'Prisoners take at Carlisle' 1745
SP 36/80/1/3 'Return of the Scotch Rebel garrison at Carlisle' 30 December 1745, and
SP 36/92/1/81 'List of rebel prisoners on whom the lot has not yet fallen...' November 1746.

Does anyone have any experience of these lists in the National Archives or know if they have been published? Can anyone suggest what might have happened to James Neilson?

I have been researching Walter Mitchell Prisoner 21 who was a witness in the case of the King against Donald McDonald who was charged with High Treason.  Mitchell was pardoned in 1747 after being sentenced to death on 15 November 1745.  Wondered if anyone had any info as to what happened to him after that date.  Thanks

When the battle ended, the defeated regiment retreated south to Glen Clova, where it was disbanded. Oral history legend has it that Captain John Kinloch, who carried the flag at Culloden, then hid the banner at Logie House, near Kirriemuir. Given that all the Jacobite flags captured by the Hanoverian troops at Culloden were taken to Edinburgh and burnt, it's amazing that this banner has managed to survive....

Hope you like...

Stewart of Appin's banner also survived Culloden, seventeen men died carrying it and it was carried from the field wrapped around the body of a Donald Livingstone. Now in the National Museum?
 The list of prisoners "on whom the lot has not yet fallen" might refer to men drawing lots to be hanged?
