From the outer Hebrides to London we trace how Flora MacDonald risked her life by disguising herself as a maid to shelter Bonnie Prince Charlie after Culloden. Drawing on court records, letters and oral tradition the episode separates legend from evidence and explores how her act fits into the wider Jacobite movement and later British politics.
