EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in British history, depicting the first meeting between Prince Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie or The Young Pretender, and Flora Macdonald. Taking place on the picturesque island of South Uist in 1925, this encounter harks back to a tumultuous period during the 18th century. The image transports us to a time when Scotland was embroiled in rebellion. The Jacobite Rebellion of 1745-1746 saw supporters rallying behind Prince Charles Edward Stuart's claim to the throne. Fleeing from government forces after their defeat at Culloden Moor, it was Flora Macdonald who famously aided his escape by disguising him as her maid servant. In this photograph, we witness an intimate moment between these two historical figures. Their faces reflect both curiosity and admiration for one another amidst the stunning backdrop of South Uist's Western Isles.

Preserved through time by Thomas Nelson and Sons' publication "Highroads of History" this colorized print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance. Through Alexander Johnston's lens, we are transported back to an era where loyalty and resilience shaped nations. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, let us remember those who
