Colonel James Menzies of Culdares was a Royalist officer during the Civil War in the seventeenth century and was wounded nine times in various fights.
Menzies of Culdares fought for the Jacobites in the 1715 Rising, but was captured after the rebellion and was exiled to North America.
He was too old to take part in the 1745-46 Rising, but sent Bonnie Prince Charlie a fine horse, delivered by his servant, MacNaughton.
[1] Stewart of Garth makes most honourable mention of Macnuaghton, who was in the service of Menzies of Culdares in the year 1745.
Grateful so far, he did not join Prince Charles, but sent a fine charger to him as he entered England.
