4 April

4 April 1746: Charles Edward Stuart proposed that the Jacobite army concentrate its strength and march against the Duke of Cumberland’s forces encamped in Aberdeenshire. The proposal was rejected, and Lord Elcho noted that the move would have been impossible due to the lack of supplies and money.¹
