AnswerClick to flip back
A
Nine of Diamonds
💡 Explanation:
The Nine of Diamonds is traditionally called the 'Curse of Scotland' due to its association with the Duke of Cumberland's suppression of the Jacobite uprising at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The card pattern supposedly resembled his order 'no quarter' (shown as 9 diamonds in a grid).
