1740s 1746 Bonnie Charlie Escape Jacobite Oars Pretender Rowing Scots Stuart Tartan
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of daring escape for Bonnie Prince Charlie (Charles Edward Stuart), the Young Pretender, from Scotland in 1746. Wearing the distinctive tartan attire of the Jacobite cause, the Prince is assisted into a small boat by his loyal Scottish supporters. The year was 1746, and the failure of the Jacobite rebellion had left the Prince and his followers on the run from British forces. The scene is set against the backdrop of a moody, Scottish waterway, with the oars of the boat's rowers glinting in the sunlight. The men, dressed in their own tartan plaid, are focused intently on their task, their faces set with determination and resolve. The Prince, meanwhile, looks out towards the horizon, his expression a mixture of hope and trepidation as he embarks on his perilous journey into exile. The image is a poignant reminder of the Jacobite cause and the enduring spirit of the Scottish people. It also serves as a visual representation of the turbulent political landscape of the 1740s, a time when the struggle for power and control was played out on the battlefields and waterways of Scotland and beyond. With its rich historical significance and evocative imagery, this photograph is a must-have for anyone with an interest in Scottish history, the Jacobite rebellion, or the 18th century.
