Kilmuir, on Skye’s Trotternish Peninsula, houses the historic burial ground of Flora MacDonald. This Jacobite heroine, born in Milton, South Uist, gained acclaim for aiding Bonnie Prince Charlie’s escape post-Culloden in 1746. Arrested and imprisoned in the Tower of London, her act was hailed as heroism rather than treason. Today, a grand Celtic cross marks her grave in Kilmuir, testament to her lasting legacy. Even centuries later, visitors leave flowers at her memorial, honouring her courage and compassion.
