Armed to the Hilt - James MacPherson

Armed to the Hilt. James MacPherson was a Scottish Gypsy Traveller who robbed from rich land owners. The gentry considered him and his team as too much of a threat so they placed bounties on their heads. Eventually James was captured and hung. Today James is remembered for his legendary sword fighting skills, his musical talents and his opposition to assimilation and royal powers. He is a symbol of resistance and strength.
