1741 Brown Bess musket. Originally a 42" New Land. Believed to have been used at a Jacobit battle and dropped there. Picked up by a Mackay and cut down and used for poaching deer. It was still in use in the 1970s when Rob bought it.

A Jacobite pistol. I.S on the lock plate. Posibly made by John Stewart?

There is more info on some of the images, but in all the years I knew Rob I had great difficulty in reading his writing. Rob was a doctor, & blamed the poor writing on the speed at which he had to write when at university. Rob did not like typing, but when he was not tired I could read his writing, but it progressively got worse.
I think these are all the images of Dr Gilbert's collection that I have. I hope they are of some interest.
