The Bulletin  

SAFER SURGERY — PAGE 27  

“The Bulletin,’” Vol. 77—No. 3966  

Wednesday, February 15, 1958  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for transmission by Post as Newspaper  

No. 285: the Homeland Series by The House of Seppelt.  

FLORA MACDONALD'S MONUMENT IN SKYE, SCOTLAND  

THE Isle of Skye, or Misty Isle as it is sometimes called, is renowned in  

prose and poetry for the wild beauty of its scenery and for the legends  

with which it is associated. It is the largest of the ten islands off the west  

coast of Scotland known as the Inner Hebrides. Its length is about fifty miles  

and its width varies from four to twenty-four miles, with population ot  

about 11,000, most of whom are engaged in farming on the croft system.  

Until the 13th century the Norsemen were masters of Skye and its  

stormy history continued until the 18th century with clan waifare and the  

struggles of the Lords of the Isles against the Crown. It was in this remote  

and, in former days, almost inaccessible island, that Prince Charles sought  

refuge after the defeat of his forces at Culloden in 1746. For many months  

he hid in the Highland mountains with price of £30,000 on his head. His  

escape to the Isle of Skye was assisted by Flora Macdonald, who disguised  

him as her maid, Betty Burke. Prince Charles sheltered at several places  

on Skye, including Elgol and at Kingsburgh, in Flora home which was  

later replaced by another house which can be seen today. It was this  

original house that Johnson and Boswell were entertained by the laird and his  

wife, Flora Macdonald. Johnson slept in the bed used by Prince Charles but,  

in his own words, he had no ambitious thoughts about it.  

Prince Charles escaped to France towards the end of the year 1746; two  

years later he was expelled from France and spent the remainder of his lite  

as fugitive on the Continent.  

Flora Macdonald was arrested for her part in helping the Prince to  

escape but she was released in 1747 and three years later she married  

Macdonald of Kingsburgh. Later they went to America but soon letuined  

to Scotland, where Flora died in 1790. She was buried at Kilmuir on Skye,  

twenty miles from Portree, and one of the largest memorial crosses of its  

kind in Scotland, shown in the accompanying illustration, was erected over  

her grave. It stands 28jft. high.  

The historic funeral of Flora Macdonald was conducted according to the  

_ij traditional stvle • the long procession of mourners on their sixteen-mile  

walk the is fefuted to have consumed three-hundred gallons  

of spirits.
