🥀 ALBA GU BRÀTH : FLORA MACDONALD - Heroine of Alba 🥀

Flora MacDonald - The Woman Who Defied An Empire.

Isle of Skye, 1746. After the bloody defeat at Culloden, the English army hunts Bonnie Prince Charlie to kill him. One young woman from South Uist, only 24 years old, dares what no man dared.

Flora dresses the Prince as her Irish maid, Betty Burke, and sails with him "Over the Sea to Skye" through English patrols, storms and death.

Arrested, imprisoned in London, threatened with execution for treason - she never betrayed her Prince. Never betrayed Alba.

When she died, her funeral was said to be attended by 3,000 mourners, all drinking to her memory. Her shroud was said to be made from the bedsheet in which the Prince had slept.

She was not royal. She was something greater - she was the Heart of the Scottish People.

The most beloved heroine in Scottish history.

ALBA GU BRÀTH 🌹
