Duncan Forbes (footballer)
Duncan Scott Forbes (born 19 June 1941 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish former professional footballer. He spent 33 years at Norwich City, 13 as a player, seven on the commercial staff and 13 as chief scout. The Times noted his aggressive defending by writing "Forbes got his customary booking; the referee ought to take his name in the changing room rather than on the pitch thus saving time."
Career
Forbes joined Colchester United in September 1961 from Scottish non-league side Musselburgh Athletic, making his league debut later that season. He quickly established himself as a regular in the Layer Road side, playing in two promotion winning teams and two relegation teams over the next 7 years.
In September 1968, after playing 270 league games for Colchester, scoring twice, he moved to Norwich City for a fee of £10,000. At Carrow Road, he helped the Canaries into Division One, and in 1970 he was voted the fourth winner of the Barry Butler Trophy, the fans' award for player of the year. He was captain of the Norwich team that won promotion to the first division for the first time in 1972.

Duncan Forbes, Lord Culloden
Duncan Forbes, Lord Culloden (10 Nov 1685 – 10 December 1747) was a Scottish politician and judge. He was President of the Court of Session.
Early life and education
He was born the second son of Duncan Forbes of Culloden and Bunchrew, near Inverness, by his wife, Mary Innes. Duncan and his elder brother, John, were sent to the grammar school of Inverness. Here, according to his first biographer, who preserves some details omitted from more decorous records, the brothers became known as 'the greatest boozers in the north' from their convivial prowess. Duncan drank freely until, about 1725, delicate health compelled greater temperance, for a period at least. The same writer states that on the occasion of his mother's funeral in 1716, Forbes and the rest of the party drank so hard that when they went to the burial-place they left the body behind. On his father's death in 1704 Forbes's elder brother took the estate and Forbes inherited a small sum of money which he lost in mercantile speculations. He then went to study law at Edinburgh, under John Spottiswood, but, finding the teaching inadequate, proceeded in 1705 to Leyden. He had been present in March 1705 at the remarkable trial of Captain Thomas Green for piracy. The execution of a man afterwards proved to be innocent made a deep impression upon him, as appears from a remarkable passage in his speech in the House of Commons on the Porteous case. At Leyden he studied both the civil law and oriental languages. He returned to Scotland in 1707. Soon after his return he married Mary, daughter of Hugh Rose, twelfth baron of Kilravock, near Culloden. She died early, though the exact date is not known, certainly before 1717.

The siege of Culloden House, 1745
https://www.bagtownclans.com On the night of October 15th, 1745, 200 men from the Jacobite Clan Fraser of Lovat attempted to capture Duncan Forbes, Lord Culloden, at his fortified home in Culloden, Scotland. The event is often overshadowed by the more famous Battle of Culloden that took place the following year, but the siege of Culloden House was a significant moment in the Jacobite rising of 1745.

The Battle of Dornoch, 1745
https://www.bagtownclans.com The Battle of Dornoch was a significant event in the Jacobite rising of 1745 in Scotland. Although it is recorded in history as a battle, there was no actual fighting between the two sides. Instead, a large rebel Jacobite force advanced on a position held by a force loyal to the British-Hanoverian government who were taken by surprise and forced into a retreat. The background to the Battle of Dornoch was the ongoing conflict between the Jacobites, who were supporters of the exiled Stuart dynasty, and the British-Hanoverian government. Lord Loudoun, a supporter of the government, was at Dornoch when the Jacobites began their advance. Despite warning signs, Lord Loudoun concluded that the Jacobites would attack from the west, across the River Shin, and that his...

The Forbes family grew in power in Aberdeenshire during the fourteenth century and went on to become one of the most prominent and influential families in the region. Today, they are known for their military service, their extensive landholdings, and their deep roots in Scottish history and culture.
The Forbes family's story begins with Sir John Forbes of the Black Lip, who had four sons: William, Alistair, Alexander, and Duncan. William became the progenitor of the Pitsligo line, Alistair founded the lines of Skellater and Invererman, while Alexander fought in the victory at Harlaw in 1411 and was elevated to the peerage some time between 1443 and 1445. Since then, the title has been handed down through successive generations, and Forbes was the premier Lordship of Scotland on the union roll of 1701, a precedence held to this day.
Throughout the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the Forbeses were engaged in a long and bitter struggle against the great house of Gordon, although the Forbeses' traditional enemies were the Leslies. In the 1520s, these feuds reached a climax, with murders by both sides occurring constantly. The Forbeses were involved in a struggle for religious supremacy as well, as they favored Protestantism while the Gordons remained defiantly Catholic. The feud culminated in two battles in 1571 and required two Acts of Parliament to force the clans to put down their arms.
Despite the conflicts that plagued the region, members of the Forbes family achieved military distinction for their country. James Ochoncar, the seventeenth Lord Forbes, was an officer in the Coldstream Regiment of Footguards and rose to the rank of general. He was responsible for the building of Castle Forbes, which is still occupied by the direct descendants of Duncan Forbes. The present chief of the clan, Nigel, twenty-second Lord Forbes, served in the Grenadier Guards and fought in the Second World War before becoming Minister of State for Scotland in the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan in 1958-59.
Today, the Forbes family is a respected and influential force in Scottish society, with a deep commitment to preserving the traditions and values of their ancestors. They are known for their strong sense of community, their love of the land, and their dedication to service. The history of Clan Forbes is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Scottish people, and the enduring power of family and tradition in shaping the course of history.

On the night of October 15th, 1745, 200 men from the Jacobite Clan Fraser of Lovat attempted to capture Duncan Forbes, Lord Culloden, at his fortified home in Culloden, Scotland. The event is often overshadowed by the more famous Battle of Culloden that took place the following year, but the siege of Culloden House was a significant moment in the Jacobite rising of 1745.
Lord Lovat, the chief of the Clan Fraser of Lovat, had long been a hesitant supporter of the Jacobite cause. However, according to historian Christopher Duffy, he sent one of his leading clansmen, James Fraser of Foyers, to kidnap Lord Culloden, who was a prominent leader of the British-Hanoverian government in Scotland. However, other historians, such as Sarah Fraser, argue that Lovat did not want anything to do with the kidnapping and that the order was issued by the Jacobite leader Charles Edward Stuart himself.
Regardless of the true motivations behind the siege, the Jacobites were met with fierce resistance when they approached Culloden House. The home was well-fortified and had several pieces of cannon on its ramparts, and the Jacobites were met with gunfire as soon as they reached the property. The Jacobites suffered one man killed and another wounded, and were forced to retreat.
In the aftermath of the siege, Lord Lovat wrote a letter of apology to Lord Culloden for the "base barbarous, inhuman, and distracted attempt and behaviour" of his men. However, Lord Loudoun, who supported the British-Hanoverian government, suspected Lovat's loyalty and ordered his capture. Lovat was captured and brought to Inverness as a prisoner, but he managed to escape on December 19th.
The siege of Culloden House was a significant event in the Jacobite rising of 1745, and it is a shame that it is often overshadowed by the more famous Battle of Culloden. The failed attempt to capture Lord Culloden at his fortified home was a clear indication of the Jacobites' lack of support and resources, and it ultimately led to their defeat at the Battle of Culloden the following year. The events that took place at Culloden House serve as a reminder of the complex political and personal motives behind the Jacobite rising, and they deserve to be remembered and studied in their own right.

The Battle of Dornoch was a significant event in the Jacobite rising of 1745 in Scotland. Although it is recorded in history as a battle, there was no actual fighting between the two sides. Instead, a large rebel Jacobite force advanced on a position held by a force loyal to the British-Hanoverian government who were taken by surprise and forced into a retreat.
The background to the Battle of Dornoch was the ongoing conflict between the Jacobites, who were supporters of the exiled Stuart dynasty, and the British-Hanoverian government. Lord Loudoun, a supporter of the government, was at Dornoch when the Jacobites began their advance. Despite warning signs, Lord Loudoun concluded that the Jacobites would attack from the west, across the River Shin, and that his eastern flank was secured by the Royal Navy.
The rebel advance began early in the morning of March 20th as the Jacobite Highlanders prepared to embark from the sands near Tain, across the Dornoch Firth from Dornoch. The first division to embark consisted of the Clan Fraser of Lovat and Clan Gregor. They landed at Meikle Ferry and immediately marched towards Skibo Castle in an attempt to capture Duncan Forbes, Lord Culloden, and Norman MacLeod, Laird of MacLeod. The alarm was raised in Dornoch and Lord Loudoun’s regiment beat to arms, but Major Mackenzie of the regiment retired without firing and the Jacobites continued their advance towards Dornoch.
The government forces were eventually captured, with 300 of Lord Loudoun’s regiment taken prisoner and the majority, 900 in all, escaping to the Isle of Skye. Captain Alexander Mackay and about 160 men of the regiment managed to escape to the north, while Lord Loudoun himself decided to abandon his position and divide his troops. The rebels did not press their attack and by March 23rd, the Duke of Perth had returned to Inverness and the Earl of Cromartie was left in command at Dornoch.
The Battle of Dornoch was a significant moment in the Jacobite rising of 1745, marking a turning point in the conflict. Although the government forces were eventually captured, the majority managed to escape to safety, and Lord Loudoun was able to regroup and continue the fight against the Jacobites.

The Scottish Clan Forbes is one of the oldest and most distinguished clans in Scotland, with a rich and fascinating history that stretches back over seven centuries. The Forbes family grew in power in Aberdeenshire during the fourteenth century and went on to become one of the most prominent and influential families in the region. Today, they are known for their military service, their extensive landholdings, and their deep roots in Scottish history and culture.
The Forbes family's story begins with Sir John Forbes of the Black Lip, who had four sons: William, Alistair, Alexander, and Duncan. William became the progenitor of the Pitsligo line, Alistair founded the lines of Skellater and Invererman, while Alexander fought in the victory at Harlaw in 1411 and was elevated to the peerage some time between 1443 and 1445. Since then, the title has been handed down through successive generations, and Forbes was the premier Lordship of Scotland on the union roll of 1701, a precedence held to this day.
Throughout the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the Forbeses were engaged in a long and bitter struggle against the great house of Gordon, although the Forbeses' traditional enemies were the Leslies. In the 1520s, these feuds reached a climax, with murders by both sides occurring constantly. The Forbeses were involved in a struggle for religious supremacy as well, as they favored Protestantism while the Gordons remained defiantly Catholic. The feud culminated in two battles in 1571 and required two Acts of Parliament to force the clans to put down their arms.
Despite the conflicts that plagued the region, members of the Forbes family achieved military distinction for their country. James Ochoncar, the seventeenth Lord Forbes, was an officer in the Coldstream Regiment of Footguards and rose to the rank of general. He was responsible for the building of Castle Forbes, which is still occupied by the direct descendants of Duncan Forbes. The present chief of the clan, Nigel, twenty-second Lord Forbes, served in the Grenadier Guards and fought in the Second World War before becoming Minister of State for Scotland in the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan in 1958-59.
Today, the Forbes family is a respected and influential force in Scottish society, with a deep commitment to preserving the traditions and values of their ancestors. They are known for their strong sense of community, their love of the land, and their dedication to service. The history of Clan Forbes is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Scottish people, and the enduring power of family and tradition in shaping the course of history.

On the night of October 15th, 1745, 200 men from the Jacobite Clan Fraser of Lovat attempted to capture Duncan Forbes, Lord Culloden, at his fortified home in Culloden, Scotland. The event is often overshadowed by the more famous Battle of Culloden that took place the following year, but the siege of Culloden House was a significant moment in the Jacobite rising of 1745.
Lord Lovat, the chief of the Clan Fraser of Lovat, had long been a hesitant supporter of the Jacobite cause. However, according to historian Christopher Duffy, he sent one of his leading clansmen, James Fraser of Foyers, to kidnap Lord Culloden, who was a prominent leader of the British-Hanoverian government in Scotland. However, other historians, such as Sarah Fraser, argue that Lovat did not want anything to do with the kidnapping and that the order was issued by the Jacobite leader Charles Edward Stuart himself.
Regardless of the true motivations behind the siege, the Jacobites were met with fierce resistance when they approached Culloden House. The home was well-fortified and had several pieces of cannon on its ramparts, and the Jacobites were met with gunfire as soon as they reached the property. The Jacobites suffered one man killed and another wounded, and were forced to retreat.
In the aftermath of the siege, Lord Lovat wrote a letter of apology to Lord Culloden for the "base barbarous, inhuman, and distracted attempt and behaviour" of his men. However, Lord Loudoun, who supported the British-Hanoverian government, suspected Lovat's loyalty and ordered his capture. Lovat was captured and brought to Inverness as a prisoner, but he managed to escape on December 19th.
The siege of Culloden House was a significant event in the Jacobite rising of 1745, and it is a shame that it is often overshadowed by the more famous Battle of Culloden. The failed attempt to capture Lord Culloden at his fortified home was a clear indication of the Jacobites' lack of support and resources, and it ultimately led to their defeat at the Battle of Culloden the following year. The events that took place at Culloden House serve as a reminder of the complex political and personal motives behind the Jacobite rising, and they deserve to be remembered and studied in their own right.

Clan Forbes is a highland Scottish clan originating in the Aberdeenshire district of Scotland. It is believed that the surname Forbes is derived from the Gaelic term Forba, meaning field. According to legend, the clan founder, Oconachar, claimed the Forbes lands by killing all of the bears in the area, making a piece of inhabitable land, habitable.
The clan motto is Grace, me guide, which means, “it is god’s grace that leads us”, and the crest features a stags head.
The historic seat of clan Forbes is Culloden House, they bought the property from the Mackintoshes in 1620, and it is currently a hotel. The present seat of the clan is Castle Forbes located in Alford, Scotland. The clan has owned the estate for 600 years and is the current residence of the chief.
Clan Forbes supported the British government during the Jacobite uprising in the 18th century. The Clan was instrumental in raising eighteen highland companies and successfully helped the British defeat the Jacobites at the battle of Culloden.
The Clan Forbes Society was formed in December 1980 with the goal of promoting cultural, historic and genealogical activities within the clan membership. Visits can be booked to visit Castle Forbes to enjoy many of the activities offered on the estate such as fishing, traditional farming and even visiting the old burial grounds.

Duncan Forbes (footballer)
Duncan Scott Forbes (born 19 June 1941 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish former professional footballer. He spent 33 years at Norwich City, 13 as a player, seven on the commercial staff and 13 as chief scout. The Times noted his aggressive defending by writing "Forbes got his customary booking; the referee ought to take his name in the changing room rather than on the pitch thus saving time."
Career
Forbes joined Colchester United in September 1961 from Scottish non-league side Musselburgh Athletic, making his league debut later that season. He quickly established himself as a regular in the Layer Road side, playing in two promotion winning teams and two relegation teams over the next 7 years.
In September 1968, after playing 270 league games for Colchester, scoring twice, he moved to Norwich City for a fee of £10,000. At Carrow Road, he helped the Canaries into Division One, and in 1970 he was voted the fourth winner of the Barry Butler Trophy, the fans' award for player of the year. He was captain of the Norwich team that won promotion to the first division for the first time in 1972.
