| PRINCE CHARLIE'S CAVE | Prince Charlie's Cave Prince Charlie's Cave Prince Charlie's Cave |
Donald Kennedy Dalwhinnie A. Clarke Dailnalongairt Ewen McDonald Dalwhinnie |
164 | This name applies to a small hollow or Cavern, on the South Side of the hill Called Ben Alder, which tradition assigns as one the hiding places of Prince Charles Edward, the unfortunate representation of the House of Stuart, after his terrible defeat at Culloden. Although called a cave it can scarcely be termed such, it is only a space between two rocks and strongly resembles a huge bi-valve gasping for air, and it is altogether impossible for even a child to walk in upright and when in you can occupy no other but a sitting or lying position. Whether this is the place referred to by Sir Walter Scott, or not, is hard to determine, but it does seem to be an unlikely place for the Pretender to consult his followers Lochiel and Cluny Macpherson. for tho the place might be convenient but would hardly answer the purposes of an audience Chamber. "Sir Walter Scott" in his "Tales of a Grandfather" Says. After the many difficulties he effected a junction with hid faithful adherents, Cluny and Lochiel though not without great risk and danger on both sides. They took up for a time their residence is a hut called the Cage curiously constructed in a deep thicket on the side of a mountain called Ben-Alder, under which name is included a great Forest or Chase, the property of Cluny. Here they lived in tolerably secutiry and enjoyed a rude plenty, which the Prince had not Known hitherto during his wanderings" Chap [Chapter] I XXX IV P. [Page] 462 If such a hut did exist at one time all traces of it have now disappeared. |
