The powder horn dates from 1745, the year of the Jacobite Rising that saw Prince Charles Edward Stuart try to reclaim the throne.
A gunpowder horn dating from 1745 and belonging to a clan member of the Macleans of Ardgour is one of eight historic artefacts from the High Life Highland collections at the Highland Folk Museum and Inverness Museum and Art Gallery to have gone on show as part of the permanent displays at the newly opened V&A Dundee, writes Mark Entwistle.
Objects loaned by the Highland museums also include a woollen blanket woven by hand in the 1830s on the Isle of Lewis; a hand-crafted silver luckenbooth brooch made in the second half of the 19th century by itinerant travellers at Applecross; and a fine Inverness silver quaich made circa 1780 by local artisan Thomas Borthwick. The objects from the Highland Folk Museum are exhibited in a display about local design specialisms across the north of Scotland, celebrating the hand-crafting skills of Highland makers, including woodworking, weaving, knit - ting, and horn and silver working.
