Program – Contemporary Jacobites

Dr. John Simmons gave a interesting talk on the history of the Jacobites and dealt especially with current day Jacobites. Their original cause was to bring the Stuarts back to the throne. He also notes several websites that discuss who should be the current king or ruler and how these people traced their lineage over the years back to King James. The program culminated in a song by the Caledonian Chorale, “Ye Jacobites by Name”. The audience joined them on “Amazing Grace”.
