1648 The Kirk Party and the Engagers, both sides became worried that the English Parliamentary forces would take advantage of Scottish disunity and invade, so on 27 September 1648 they agreed to the Treaty of Stirling which lead to the end of Engager dominance of Scotland.

Whiggamores (later shortened to Whigs)— from the Scots for “mare drivers” used to describe western Scots who came to Leith for corn.—became a nickname for the Kirk party who were against the Engagement with King Charles I. After the Restoration, a shortened name ‘Whig’ was adopted as a name for a political party in Britain for 2 centuries, and was used in the United States for a half century (circa 1800 to 1860).

2000 September 27 James Monroe (Scottis) 5th President of the United States 1817-25, and author of the ‘Monroe doctrine’: His paternal 2nd great-grandfather, Major Andrew Monroe, who was descended from Robert Munro, 14th Baron of Foulis, chief of an ancient Scottish highland clan, emigrated to America from Scotland in the mid-17th century.

Proceedings of the Scottish Parliament on 27 September 2000 A Debate on the Highland Clearances. The Presiding Officer (Sir David Steel): The Highland clearances were a catastrophic time for the Highlands. … There is no doubt that they happened and that they led to the destruction of the Highlands that Boswell and Johnson saw in their celebrated tour of the Hebrides [circa 1773]. At the time of their visit to the north, that process was already in hand, but the clearances were responsible for its completion. I want first to look back and then to look forward. In looking back, I will make two points. The first is that in the Highlands the clearances are still with us. The memory of them is handed down from generation to generation. I will illustrate that with a short story. Five years ago, some of us, including people in the public gallery, had reason to attend the memorial service at Croick church in Sutherland, which was held to commemorate the clearance of Glencalvie in 1845. Many members will be familiar with the story of how the Munros and Rosses were cleared out of the strath and took shelter under a tarpaulin in the churchyard. They were not allowed into the church; there lies another story. It was due to our great press and to The Times — “The Thunderer”, no less — that the lid was taken off this story. The newspaper sent a reporter to the area. Alas, we do not know who he was, although we have some suspicions–who covered the story and, thanks to the then editor, put it on the front page. That shamed the whole terrible process to a halt.

2004 After the 1745 rising, the government banned the wearing of Highland dress and tartan, which was used as a sense of clan identity as part of their campaign to quash any further threat of a Jacobite insurrection.
