Message from Kieran - Exploring Scotland

The Prince's Cairn is a monument in Scotland that marks the spot where Bonnie Prince Charlie set sail for France in 1746 after the Jacobite rising of 1745 failed. Erected in 1956 by the 1745 Association, it sits on the shores of Loch nan Uamh in Lochaber. The cairn also symbolizes where the Prince first landed in Britain and where he escaped to the Hebrides after the Battle of Culloden. It's like a historical marker with a cool backstory about the Young Pretender's adventures in Scotland.
