Oh, good point! That's very true.

...Actually, to go off on a tangent, this touches on something I was idly thinking about for a possible fic the other day: if Ewen was killed, at Culloden or afterwards as a prisoner, who would inherit Ardroy? Without an obvious heir it's possible he's done the 'safety signing-over to a sympathetic Whig friend' thing some historical Jacobites did (and which he does to Keith in one of luzula's fics!), but we don't hear anything about it. Other than that his closest relatives are Aunt Margaret and the Stewarts of Invernacree, and I don't know how it might work out given the laws of the time and the possibility of forfeiture.
