Bonnie
Prince Charlie
In
1707 Scotland and England became one country: the United Kingdom of Great
Britain. Before that they were two independent countries with their own
parliaments. Some Scots, especially in the Highlands, were not happy that the
government was now in London and not in Edinburgh. They believed that a member
of the Scottish royal family, a Stuart, should be king of England and Scotland
and they wanted an independent Scottish parliament again.
Their
last hope was in 1745 when Charles Edward Stuart - or Bonnie Prince Charlie, as
he is often called – led an army against the English. The last battle was at
Culloden, six miles from Inverness, on April 16th 1746. But the
English, with an army of 9000 men, easily defeated the 5000 Scots from the
Highlands.
After
the battle, Bonnie Prince Charlie escaped to the Outer Hebrides, where he hid
in lonely caves and huts. The English tried to find the prince and kill him.
But a Scotswoman, Flora Macdonald, helped Charlie to get an Irish passport and
gave him some women’s clothes. Charlie then travelled with Flora as her
servant, Betty Burke, “over the sea of Skye*”. The English looked everywhere
for him. They even offered 30 000 pounds for information where Prince Charlie
was, but not one Scotsman said a word. He later sailed to France and never came
back to Scotland again. Today Bonnie Prince Charlie is still a popular hero in
Scotland, and some Scots still think of Culloden as the place where they lost
their independence.
