A George III gold-mounted glass locket containing four locks of hair held in place by initials fashioned from gold wire below a crown surmount between two bevelled later glass discs the gold rim inscribed 'Hair of JAMES (son of King JAMES VII) of his consort and their sons CHARLES [Bonnie Prince Charlie] EDWARD & HENRY' the reverse inscribed '1745' and 'Francis Farquharson of Monaltrie' on a small suspension chain diam. 5.5cm. Francis Farquharson of Monaltrie was a fascinating character and a figure thoroughly entwined with the Jacobite cause. He was born in 1710 the son of Alexander the 1st of Monaltrie and daughter of Anne Farquharson of Finzean. As a young man he managed the estates of Inveracauld acting as commisoner for his uncle John Farqhuarson. However he soon became embroiled in the machinations of the uprising of 1745 (it is this date that probably relates to that on the locket). It has been suggested that his cousin Anne Lady Mackintosh (whom Jacobites knew as 'Colonel Anne') forged this relationship between Bonnie Prince Charlie and Francis. His father was deeply unimpressed by this allegiance and promptly deprived him of his commission. This was though not before Francis had succeeded in raising an army of 300 men from the very land he managed. He was an extremely popular man and by all accounts enigmatic; often referred to as the 'Baron Ban' as a result of his good looks and golden locks. He led his small army and took part in the battles of Inverury and Falkirk until he was finally captured at Culloden. He was taken by sea to London and thrown into the tower. Once again his luck or winning ways won through with a last minute reprieve on the very morning he was due to be executed. He then spent a period as a prisoner in Marshalsea then Southwark Gaol eventually finding himself on parole in Berkhampstead. He had friends who petitoned for his release these included the Ministers of Kincardine O'Neill and Alford. His dramatic reprieve fired rumours that this had come about as a result of the romantic intentions of a beautiful wealthy Catholic women who held great influence at Court. Perhaps this gossip was sparked from his involvement and later marriage to the beauty Margaret Eyre of Hassop in Derbyshire. His new wife adored him and her wealth enabled him to return to his beloved Scotland in 1766 a pardoned but affluent rebel and rebuild his standing in the area. His home had been burnt in reprisal for joining in the uprising so he built a new one at the foot of Craigendarroch and called it Ballater House. In addition he helped create much of the bustling town of Ballater that we see today developing the area and laying the foundations of the modern tourist industry. He also was involved in the construction of a bridge over the River Dee in 1790. Francis Farquharson of Monaltrie had a great impact on Royal Deeside - one which can still be seen today. It would have been seen as entirely fitting for the name of such a romantic figure; a man entwined with the Jacobite cause and local land to be engraved upon a Jacobite relic. It is likely that this lot may have been made after his death as a memento of this great and much loved man by his family.

Balmerino Sixth Baron [Arthur Elphinstone] (1688-1746). Manuscript copy of the dying speech of the Rt. Honorable Lord Belmerino undated (paper watermarked no date) folio two sides previous folds. Note: Arthur Elphinstone sixth Baron Balmerino was a Jacobite who upon the arrival of Prince Charles in Scotland in 1745 was one of the first to join his standard. His importance was recognised in his appointment as colonel and captain of the second troop of life guards in attendance to the prince. After the battle of Culloden in 1746 Elphinstone was captured and sent to London to be committed to the Tower along with the Earls of Kilmarnock and Cromarty and tried with high treason. In August 1746 he was finally brought to Tower Hill for execution eye-witness accounts say "he came upon the scaffold in his regimentals and tye-wig. His coat was blue turned up with red and brass buttons; his countenance serene his air free and easy; he looked quite unconcerned and like one going to a party of pleasure or some business of little or no importance." After presenting the executioner with a fee of three guineas he proclaimed "O Lord! Reward my friends forgive my foes bless King James and receive my soul!".
