I was aware of James Graham, 1st Marquis of Montrose, as a romantic character, the upholder of the Royalist cause in Scotland, though knew little of the detail of the campaign he waged north of the border.
As I read more I plotted Montrose's story, from raising his standard in August 1644 to his betrayal and execution in 1650, on the interactive map above.
