Abstract
The article gives the analysis of amnesty of the British government in the Highlands of Scotland during the largest Jacobite rebellions (supporters of returning the Stuarts excluded in the Glorious revolution to the British throne), in 1715-1745. Connection between amnesty and weak military and political role of London in the Highlands in the context of legalist tradition and negative attitude of the British political nation to an impressive regular army in Britain is revealed.
