This is where Charles first set foot on the mainland. A local clan chief had warned him he' d find no supporters here, he' d best go back to France. But Charles was undeterred. he said, " I have come home, sir, and I' m persuaded that my faithful Highlanders will stand by me." Charles wrote to the local highland chiefs urging them to meet him here at Glenfinnan at the head of Loch Shiel. Charlie MacFarlane is descended from a Highlander who volunteered to fight for him. This was where the Prince rendezvoused his army and he arrived here, having come up the loch, to find nobody arrived yet and after two or three hours he was getting anxious and then the sound of the pipes was heard and the clan Cameron came over that pass there, and more of them came down the glen from Glen Dessary. 800 or so of them. |
