This year is Anne Macintosh's (born of Clan Farquharson) 300th birthday, also known as Colonel Anne, who raised troops for the Jacobite cause in 1745. There is an excellent play about her at the Fringe next week. Reviews of the first night (yesterday) were very positive.

Difficult to see and difficult to photograph. This horseshoe is set into the middle of the road in #Kelso and is said to mark the spot where Bonnie Prince Charlie 's horse threw a shoe in 1745 on his way south from Edinburgh to Carlisle during the #JacobiteRising . No plaque anywhere. Learnt about it from Michael Park's #ScottishHistory #Podcast https://bequiet.media/scotland-scottish-history-podcast
