About Anne Leith
Anne Leith was a young widow from Aberdeenshire who helped Jacobite soldiers during the Battle of Culloden. Whilst Leith was in Inverness, she heard news of the Jacobite's defeat during the battle, bringing food and medical supplies to the soldiers that same afternoon. Once the soldiers were taken as prisoners of war, Leith continued to visit them and demand fair treatment on their behalf until they were taken away from Inverness three months later.
