Archibald Cameron of Lochiel (1707 – 7 June 1753) was a Scottish nobleman, physician, and prominent leader in the Jacobite rising of 1745. He was the personal physician of Charles Edward Stuart and appears in the Jacobite Army muster roll as "ADC to the prince."^[1] Dr Cameron was the younger brother of Donald Cameron of Lochiel, who led Clan Cameron in the rising, and outlawed Roman Catholic priest Alexander Cameron. After secretly returning to Scotland in 1753, he was captured by the government with the aid of "Pickle the Spy" and, at Tyburn, he became the last Jacobite to be executed for high treason. He was eulogised in the Scottish Gaelic bardic poetry of the era and, in popular memory, he is sometimes referred to as Doctor Archie.
