The following facts relating to the above, are taken from "Browne's History of the Highlands." "Among other persons who had joined Charles at Edinburgh, there was a young man of respectable Family named Roderick Mackenzie. He had served as one of the prince's life-guards. Being about the same age as Charles tall and somewhat slender, like the prince, and with features resembling, in some degree those of Charles, he might with ordinary observers who had not been accustomed to see them together have passed off for the prince. As he could not venture with safety to Edinburgh, where he had two maiden Sisters residing, he fled to the Highlands after the Battle of Culloden, and, while skulking among the hills of Glenmoriston, was surprised by a party of Soldiers about the middle of July. McKenzie endeavoured to escape; but being overtaken he turned round upon his pursuers, and drawing his sword, bravely defended himself, He was shot by one of the Soldiers, and as he fell, he exclaimed, "You have killed your prince! You have killed your prince! and immediately expired, overjoyed at their supposed good fortune they hurried to Fort-Augustus with their prize. The Duke convinced that he had got the head of his relative, had it, is said, packed up and ordering a post-chaise went off to London, carrying, the head along with him shortly after his arrival, however, the deception which had been of essential service to Charles was discovered." |
