Exhibition: Tartan & Turmoil – The Angus Jacobite Story

Step into a world of intrigue, loyalty, and rebellion at Montrose Museum, as we reveal the pivotal role Angus played in the Jacobite cause. From the bustling port of Montrose – once branded ‘the most disloyal and disaffected town in Scotland’ – gold, weapons, and secret reinforcements slipped across the sea from Europe to fuel the rising.

Encounter treasures once owned by Stuart kings, intimate letters penned by Angus rebels, rare weaponry, and humble everyday objects that carry the weight of extraordinary stories. Meet not only lords, lairds and ladies, but the butchers, weavers, fishermen, innkeepers, and servants whose courage and conviction led them to fight for the doomed Jacobite cause.

Entrance is free. No need to book.
