| 释义 |
He was a brigand to those who opposed him and his victims in the counties in which he operated (Perth, Inverness and Argyle), but a folk hero to those who sympathised with the aims of the rebellion (as shown by the mention of Sergeant Mor in The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond, a poem by Andrew Lang).[2][3][4] Capture{{main|Raid on Rannoch}}Cameron, having no fixed abode and facing the consequences of having served in the French army, and also of having supported the Jacobite rising, formed a party of freebooters, and took up his residence in the mountains between the counties of Perth, Inverness and Argyll.[5] He carried on a system of spoilation by carrying off cattle that belonged to people he called his enemies, and also blackmailing people.[5] He had for a long time slept in a barn on the farm of Dunan in Rannoch, but he was betrayed and one night while he was asleep in the barn, in the year 1753, he was apprehended by a party of men led by Hector Munro, 8th laird of Novar.[5] Cameron was a powerful man and shook off all of the soldiers who had hold of him, and attempted to escape.[5] However, he was overpowered by the remainder of the party, who had stayed outside.[5] Cameron was carried to Perth where he was tried for murder as well as for various acts of theft and cattle stealing.[5] He was found guilty and executed at Perth in 1753.[5] It was generally believed locally that Cameron had been betrayed by the man whose barn he had been sleeping in.[5] See also
