Seaforth
See The Macraes were Episcopalians and Jacobites
William, 5th Earl of Seaforth, having joined the Rising of 1715, his estates were forfeited, and his title passed under attainder. The estates were bought from the Crown in 1741 for the benefit of his son, Kenneth, who was known by the courtesy title of Lord Fortrose, which was the subordinate title of the Earls of Seaforth. Lord Fortrose was the "Seaforth" of the time of Prince Charles, but, notwithstanding his well-known Jacobite sympathies, he considered it more prudent to remain loyal to the House of Hanover.
See: Macraes in the Seaforth Regiments
During the closing decades of the eighteenth century, when the Highland regiments were raised, the Macraes entered loyally and readily into the military service of their country. Two regiments (in all four batatalions) of Highlanders were raised on the Seaforth estates between 1778 and 1804, and the Macraes were numerous in both. The Macraes, like so many of the other Highland Clans, added their full share of luster to the honor of British Arms.
