Abstract
This article examines the global reach and impact of the external Jacobite diasporas between 1688 and 1788. It surveys the four most common geographical areas associated with Jacobite emigration and exile: Continental Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, and the North American colonies. Within these respective regions, pertinently chosen case studies of individuals who made important contributions to their host communities - including the martial, commercial, financial, scientific and socio-political fields - are highlighted throughout. Thus, the paper argues that both the significance of these contributions and the global dispersion of the Jacobite movement make it an important sub-field for further research within Jacobite and diaspora studies and beyond.
