4		Battle of Alexandria by Philip James de Loutherbourg, painted 1802 A battle rages in the background while a group of officers anxiously gather around their seated commander, whose slumped appearance suggests that all is not well. The man is Sir Ralph Abercromby, and the painting shows the Battle of Alexandria, 21 March 1801, which put an end to Napoleon's Egyptian empire and with it the French threat to British India and other territories east of Suez. De Loutherbourg has chosen the moment of battle when Abercromby was fatally wounded, introducing an element of personal tragedy into the national victory.	Ralph Abercromby, of Tullibody

7		Battle of Glenshiel The Battle of Glenshiel 1719. Figures probably include Lord George Murray, c 1700 - 1760; Rob Roy MacGregor, 1671 - 1734; and General Joseph Wightman, d. 1722 painted by Peter Tillemans in 1719 The Rising of 1719 was another failed attempt to restore the Stuart dynasty to the British throne. On the evening of 10 June the Jacobites engaged with the Hanoverian forces on the slopes of Glenshiel where the current A87 runs between Loch Cluanie and Loch Duich. Tillemans shows the battle from the government position and is based on eye-witness accounts and contemporary plans for the deployment of forces. The figure mounted on the rearing dark horse is probably General Joseph Wightman, commander of the government garrison at Inverness.
