context_page_description: Arthur Elphinstone, 6th Lord Balmerino and 5th Lord Cupar was a Scottish nobleman and Jacobite, or supporter of the claim of the exiled House of Stuart to the British throne.
  As a military officer, he served in both the British and French armies, as well as taking part in Jacobite rebellions in 1715 and 1745, and spent nearly 20 years in exile on the Continent. He was pardoned some years after the first rebellion but following the failure of the latter at Culloden he was taken prisoner, charged with treason, and executed at Tower Hill. Historians of the 1745 rising often refer to him simply as Lord Balmerino, although he did not inherit the title until January 1746 and was for most of his life styled "the Hon. Arthur Elphinstone".
