Bonnie Prince Charlie..

 

On the 4th May 1746 Charles Edward Stewart landed here while on the run having sailed from Scalpay . It was 18 days after the battle of Culloden where over 1200 Highlanders were killed.

He traveled on foot from here to Arnish where he was given shelter by Lady Kildun. He then sailed south to Eilean Lubhard with a price of £30,000 on his head. It is to the honour of all Hebrideans regardless of their loyalties he was not betrayed to the authorities..
