After fleeing the Outer Hebrides with Flora Macdonald, who famously disguised him as her Irish serving maid, Betty Burke, Bonnie Prince Charlie landed in northern Skye. Following a brief stay in Portree and on the island of Raasay, the Prince returned to the main island and marched through the night to Elgol. The Clan MacKinnon took charge of the Prince's welfare. He was sheltered in the cave by the clan chief, where he allegedly ate his last meal on Skye. On 4 July 1746, John MacKinnon and four companions rowed the Prince across to the Scottish mainland, from where he eventually escaped to France. Legend has it that in gratitude for their aid, the Prince gave the MacKinnon clan the secret recipe for his personal liqueur, which later became known as Drambuie whisky.

While they are known for their agility and resourcefulness in finding food, providing them with supplementary nourishment can offer an exciting opportunity for observation and interaction. As its name suggests, this squirrel typically has a grey coat with white undersides, though the coat colour can also be quite brown at times. Grey squirrels are mainly herbivorous, eating acorns, hazel nuts, berries, fungi, buds and shoots, and even bark. The grey squirrel was introduced to Great Britain in the middle of the 19th century. There is now an estimated population of 2 million making them much more common than the native red squirrel. They arrived in England from North America and are now one of Britain's most well known and frequently seen mammals, with an estimated population of 2 million. It is a myth that grey squirrels chase red squirrels away. Greys are just more adaptable to new surroundings. Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing. Feeding grey squirrels provides a wonderful opportunity for observing their behaviours up close. You might witness their playful antics, social interactions, and even their impressive agility while navigating your garden. While squirrels may become accustomed to your presence, it's essential to remember that they are wild animals. Maintain a respectful distance, and never attempt to handle or approach them closely .
