- So How does Tilbury Fort play A Role In The Jacobite Rising?
Well The Connection Is Very Dark And Associated With The Imprisonment, Death And Execution Of Many Scottish Jacobite Prisoners.
Today, a Culloden memorial stone can be found on the site, an actual stone brought to London from the bloody battlefield of Culloden,
Culloden being the last stand of the Jacobite cause and the last battle ever fought on English soil. It was unveiled on the 16th July 1998 and reads
In memory of the Scottish prisoners from the battle of Culloden in April 1746 who died either on the Thames prison ships or within Tilbury Fort.
The history of the Jacobites is something that intrigues me a lot, as my 7th great grandfather James Gordon Esquire of Cobairdy, Aberdeenshire was a Jacobite himself and a close friend of Bonnie Prince Charlie. The young Prince Charlie even gifted James Gordon a gold/silver pocket watch chain. The item has since been returned to the Royal collection and on display at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh.

24 👍That’s really amazing.Totally love it. 🥰Thank you for sharing.🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Thank you very kindly my friend 😊 sending my best and catch up soon
Nice history tour. Well done on your video and history of the area. Rough times back then. Thanks for the tour of the area. Neat to see the area behind you while you walked around. Love the old structures. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you buddy, Tilbury Fort is an interesting place with an equally interesting history. It would have been a gruesome place when the Jacobite’s were imprisoned here. Catch up soon 😊😊
"Laugh your head off", now that is some morbidly entertaining history right there. That's awesome Stephen! 🎯🪓📺🛡️
Lol 😂 I guess that is a slice of morbid history for sure 😀 if the legend of the saying is true, I do wonder… he was laughing out of fear.
It must have been a very strange spectacle. The laughing probably horrified those watching. A big thank you buddy and catch up soon 😊
Holy Moly, I am surprised that this place is so well preserved. I have not seen a prison being kept up so well. I am amazed. LIKE 21. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you kindly for the wonderful comment 😊😊 sending my best and have a great weekend too 😊
thank you for sharing the most beautiful historical knowledge that ever existed at that time .... very useful
Thank you Erik, sending our best to you and catch up soon 😊😊
Wonderful story telling and a fascinating look at the Jacobite prisoners held in London. I’m a big fan of Outlander and this was wonderful ❤️❤️
Thank you very kindly Charlotte 😊😊
Terrific video, interesting history of your 7th Great Grandfather and the Jacobites
I will never here the phrase “Laughing your head off” without thinking of this video. Thanks Stephen 👋👍
Thank you guys, for your comment 😊 strange that a light hearted saying actually has a dark twist to it 😊😊 catch up with you both soon
What a bloody and brutal history. I'd never heard the reason behind the term "laughing your head off" before. I loved hearing about your connection to the story via your Scottish 7th great grandfather James Gordon being a Jacobite himself and a close friend of Bonnie Prince Charlie. How wonderful to be able to see the actual watch and pocket chain that the prince gifted to James Gordon. Another very interesting and illuminating video, Stephen.
Thank you Julie and Lucy, one day I will visit Holyrood Palace and hopefully view that item. James Gordon was an incredible character, his youngest children were all hidden from the authorities as he fled to Paris for several years.
He was eventually pardoned though, and lived his last few years in Aberdeen.
Sending my best to you both and catch up soon 😊😊
Enjoyed hearing the sad history, Stephen. Well, as much as you can such a bloody past. Interesting about your ancestor being a Jacobite himself and a good friend of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Not a nice ending for so many. If I was going to go, I'd be laughing my head off too at the spectator misfortune! Thanks for bring us along for the tour.
Lol, I know a few people who would be laughing too. I would just close my eyes and tell them to hurry up lol 😂
A big thank you to you both and sending our best, catch up soon guys 😊❤️
Wonderful story telling and a fascinating look at the Jacobite prisoners held in London. I’m a big fan of Outlander and this was wonderful
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, I am a big fan of Outlander too 😊😊
So interesting to know that your 7th Great Grandfather was Jacobite. So many bloody battles back then and very interesting history. When I see the fort your walking around in, I can’t help by wonder what lies beneath you? Wonderful video Stephen. I really enjoyed it. 👍😊🇨🇦
Thank you Christine, I can imagine there are a lot of secrets buried beneath that ground. Bodies have been found. I can imagine more are still there. It’s an interesting site, and I have a big interest in the Jacobite rising. The story fascinates me 😊 a big thank you and catch up soon
Terrific tour this one Stephen 🙂👍. Fabulous place on the Thames Estuary. I know very little about the Jacobites so this was a fascinating backstory. Thank you for sharing this 🙂👍 Take care, Paul
Thank you Paul, for your lovely comment buddy 😊 hope all well and catch up soon 😊
What a great tour Stephen, what an interesting tale! Laughing my head off! Ouch! 😱
Lol, thank you guys 😊 sending our best to you both and catch up soon
An interesting and thorough description of the part played by Tlibury after Culloden. Throughout history there have been such terrible events and even though we hope that today we are more civilised events continue to show us that we are wrong. Thanks for another informative video.
Ivor, so very true 😊 what you just said. The world sadly is not an equal safe place. Will it ever be? I truly hope that one day it will be.
The world has got better, but some places are just more fortunate then others.
It’s about forward thinking, forward thinking makes us think openly.
Backwards thinking, tethers the world in a place and time that should have ended long ago. Sending you my best buddy 😊
Amazing vlog my friend.Full support to you.
Thank you kindly my friend 😊 sending my best and catch up soon 😊

I have to say that your narration is very good. It was interesting to hear how this fort tied into the Jacobite rebellion.
Thank you so much, for your lovely comment 😊 and coming from yourself who I have a lot admiration for (from seeing your videos), it means a lot. So a huge thank you buddy 😊 sending my best and catch up soon
Wow, Stephen, great lesson! I really learned a lot about the Jacobites. I might think twice about saying I laughed my head off in the future! 😅
Lol, I think I should think twice about it too 😊 The Jacobite’s though are very interesting 😊 incredible piece of Scottish history
This is so amazing and awesome. Keep up the amazing videos my friend

@@StephenandYhanaThank you! Feel free to check out our content too❤
Very interesting place 🤔 my hubby would enjoy the history
Thank you very kindly, it’s a fascinating piece of history that’s for sure 😊😊 catch up soon ❤️
"Laughing ones head off" -- most probably a direct ancestor of the current LMAO; probably not a long family tree for the modern acronym
Although I did visit Aberdeen and Inverness three decades ago, visiting the Culloden battlefield itself remains on my "Bucket list." I had little knowledge of the fate of the prisoners and none of Tilbury Fort and the prison ships on the Thames until stumbling across this video this morning. Thank you for the history lesson, Stephen.
Hi Kevin, your very welcome 😊 I have visited Inverness a few times myself, and explored many of the connections there with the Jacobites. I haven’t been to Culloden either, but like yourself 😊 it is on my bucket list too.
A big thank you for the comment, it’s very much appreciated 😊 sending my best to you
so beautiful and nice video
Thank you kindly my friend 😊 sending our best to you 😊
Oh I am jusy such a fan of anything that has the historical background from that era! Not only Elisabeth, and Henry, but then the Jacobites, Great Britain surely has a very adventurous history!
Great place, and that you had an ancestor connected, so cool!!! That is truly amazing Stephen! I am jealous, my family "only" originates from a baron... and tons of peasants :d
Awwww 😊😊 well a Baron is very awesome, that guy must have incredible ancestral routes. I have plenty of peasants in my tree too, some of them are just as interesting lol 😆 a big thank you for the wonderful comment and catch up soon 😊
This is great for understanding The Outlander tv show. Thanks
Hi Mike, I think so too 😊 plus it’s a great TV show too 😊 sending our best and catch up soon
That was so interesting 😊
Thank you Cara, sending our best and catch up soon 😊😊

Thank you kindly buddy, sending our best and catch up soon 😊
Thank you very much for telling history england
Your very welcome and a very big thank you for the comment 😊
Nice camp !
Thank you kindly buddy 😊😊
The so-called Bonnie Prince Charlie saved his own skin by fleeing the battlefield and leaving others who fought for the cause to die.
Lord Elcho, one of his own generals, reportedly Said, " Run, you cowardly Italian".
A lot of the Scottish soldiers would have been pressed into the Jacobite army due to the Clan system, many would have been young boys.
I would have used the word Scottish at the beginning of your video title, as many Scots Americans are looking for history of their deported ancestors to the States.
Thank you 😀, I like that suggestion a lot 😊 I will do that when I get home from work 😊 your a star ⭐️ I didn’t even consider that when writing the title.
Laugh your head off sounds cool, sometimes I am more hungry and thirsty that the Jacobite army, the scented handkerchiefs helped a lot for sure !
Lol 😂 thank you buddy for the quirky comment lol 😂 sending our best and hope all well 😊😊😆
Hi, Stephen and Yhana. Thank you for sharing.
Wow...this video is more personal to you. Your ancestor was involved in. Superb!
I was moved by the memorial stone for the prisoners who died in the prison ship... 5:03..wow...very emotional..
Wow...Not only men but also women and children were prisoned....Sorrow....
The story of the execution is hard to listen to ...just very sad...
"Laugh Your Head Off">>OMG, how much PPL's lives are worth it/matter to him......
I cannot be certain but was there fire and made markings on the wall?...15:29..erosion or mold..Hmmm
I took moments to imagine the conditions where the prisoners were held...16:53....In spite of this beautiful view.
Well done. I always enjoy learning something new from you in the videos. 🥰🥰🚣♀🚣♀
I think that was either mould on that wall or old paint coming through. It didn’t catch my attention to much on the day, which makes me think it was most likely paint. It is very emotional to be honest, as the Jacobite’s were treated horrendously. It was pretty much an end of Scotland as they new it at the time. Even tartan was banned.
It’s a piece of Scottish history that intrigues me a lot, possibly due to family connections.
I don’t think I have any British ancestors that fought at culloden but I do have many Scottish.
Sending my best and catch up soon 😊😊
