At least if the story is true that James Keith's brother George, better known as the Earl Marischal, summoned the British envoy to his deathbed in 1778 because "I find pleasure in emitting the last sighs of a Jacobite to a minister of King George." Heh. Interesting that he still thought of himself that way in 1778, long after Jacobite hopes had died and when he had served another country for so long.
