- John Du Cameron (Scottish Gaelic: Iain Dubh Camshròn) (executed 23 November 1753) was a Scottish Sergeant in the French Royal Army who came back to Scotland to fight for Prince Charles Edward Stuart during the Jacobite rising of 1745. When the rebellion failed he took to the hills with a band of renegades and fought on until he was captured and hanged in 1753. He is better known by the name of Sergent Mòr (Mòr the Scottish Gaelic for "largeness of size" or "greatness of character"). He was viewed as a brigand, however, by those who opposed him and his victims in the counties in which he operated (Perth, Inverness and Argyle), but a folk hero to those who sympathised with the aims of the rebellion (as shown by the mention of Sergeant Mòr in The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond, a poem by Andrew Lang).
