Just seen that Strelets will produce Jacobites (Scottish Highlanders) in September, I feel an urge to invest already! I'll certainly uild an army I can use for both the 1715 and 1745 rebellions.
If you'll visit the Strelets site there are already test shots of the sprues and figures. I feel that they're tests because some of the figures aren't fully filled in and there are some sprues with a lot of flash. Still a good "sneak peek" of 2 highly-useful sets.

Set 2 http://www.strelets-r.com/SetsR/Set068/Figure.html
Sorry Will, should have known you'd be more thorough than PSR and others. I'll remove my slightly soggy foot from my large mouth now and watch that I don't fall into another assumption, it's a long drop!
I only just found your Blog, thru googling "Jacobite". Although I am a collector of 54mm, these new Jacobite figures are tempting me to make my first 1:72 scale Army. As having a lifelong interest in Jacobite History and an "adult" toy soldier collection going back over 20 years, it is a constant souce of disappointment that there is nothing on the market for 54mm collectors....the Cherilea Jacobites are really 60mm. And I must add that I find your Blog interesting and perhaps can inspire me to set up a Blog myself. Best wishes

Thanks Sir William, my link was to the same Strelets site, not PSR
