The Jacobites - Scotland's Most Romantic Lost Cause

from Everything Scotland

In 1745, a 24-year-old Italian-educated prince sailed to Scotland with seven men and nearly overthrew the British Crown.This is the full story of the Jacobites, Bonnie Prince Charlie's astonishing campaign from Glenfinnan to Derby and back, the catastrophe of Culloden in sixty brutal minutes, Flora MacDonald's remarkable escape operation, and the systematic destruction of Highland culture that followed. Plus the question historians still argue about: did the wrong side win?Hosted by Lesley Kennedy, born and raised in Scotland, a former police officer, and tour guide who has stood on Culloden Moor more times than she can count. Our Scots Word of the Week: Blether.
