Sandy Blair

Probably the Alexander Blair, writer in Edinburgh, who escaped Dundee with David Fotheringham (Thomson, History of Dundee) and was exempted from the Indemnity of 1747 (Prisoners of the '45, vol. 1, p. 297). He was apparently with the Jacobite Army at least as far as Derby, according to an intercepted letter he sent to his wife (NA SP 36/76/2/23). He was previously a member of Forbes's congregation (Registers of the Episcopal Congregation in Leith, pp. 15, 23).
