Auld Dubrach

Auld Dubrach (1714–1824), born Peter Grant, was the last known survivor of the Jacobite Uprising. According to folklore he was introduced to King George IV in 1822 during his visit to Edinburgh as "His Majesty's oldest enemy". However, this story is probably not true.[1]

A portrait of him resides in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.
