Flora MacDonald's Grave, Isle of Skye - Victorian Period This evocative Victorian lantern slide depicts the final resting place of Flora MacDonald, a legendary Scottish heroine, on the Isle of Skye. The image transports us back in time to the late 19th century, an era of romanticism and nostalgia for the Scottish Highlands and its rich history. Flora MacDonald (1722-1790) was a renowned crofter and a central figure in the Jacobite rising of 1745. She is most famously known for her role in helping Bonnie Prince Charlie escape after the Battle of Culloden. Her bravery and selflessness have been immortalized in Scottish folklore and literature. This tranquil scene shows the simple, yet beautiful, grave of Flora MacDonald, nestled in the lush, green landscape of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides. The croft and crofter's cottage in the background add to the authenticity of the image, providing a glimpse into the daily life of the Scottish Highlands during the Victorian period. The Edwardian era, marked by a renewed interest in all things Scottish, saw a surge in the popularity of images like this one. The romanticized portrayal of Scotland and its rich history resonated with the British public, making lantern slides like this one highly sought after. This vintage photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the history and traditions of Scotland and its iconic figures like Flora MacDonald.
