EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1747, witnessing a historic moment that forever changed the course of Scottish history. The image captures the first meeting between Prince Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, and Flora Macdonald on the enchanting island of South Uist. Prince Charles, with his regal presence and determination to reclaim his family's throne, stands tall in his traditional attire. Flora Macdonald, a courageous and resourceful woman who would later become a heroine in Scottish folklore, gazes at him with admiration and intrigue. The setting is an intimate croft cottage nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Hebrides. It is here that these two individuals from different worlds come together - one representing royalty and rebellion while the other symbolizing loyalty and bravery. Flora's introduction into this clandestine world marks a turning point in their lives. As conspirators against British rule during the Jacobite rebellion, they find solace in each other's company as they plan Prince Charles' escape to France. This engraving by Alexander Johnston beautifully captures not only their physical appearances but also hints at their shared sense of purpose through subtle details like Flora's disguise as a woman during their journey to Isle of Skye.
