About Robert Forbes

Robert Forbes (1708–1775) was a Scottish historian and bishop of the Non-juring Scottish Episcopal Church. John Lorne Campbell has described Forbes as, "an Episcopalian clergyman and ardent Jacobite who later became bishop of Ross and Caithness, and who made it his life's work to collect all the reminiscences of participants in the 1745-6 rising as he could". Historian John S. Gibson wrote, that the discovery of Forbes' research bound together into ten volumes in the library of a Scottish country house during the 1830s was, "alas, just too late for Sir Walter Scott". His oral history collection was ultimately published posthumously in three volumes by the Scottish History Society as The Lyon in Mourning between 1895 and 1896 and became, according to John Lorne Campbell, "probably their most popular publication".
