Tour Scotland photograph of Uig, Isle of Skye, Scotland. Just north of Uig is where Bonny Prince Charlie landed in the well known “ Over the sea to Skye ” song. He and Flora MacDonald landed just north of Monkstadt House in Kilmuir. As there were soldiers at Monkstadt House at the time looking for him, he was led by MacDonald of Kingsburgh from there down through Uig to Kingsburgh House where he spent the night. Flora MacDonald herself died in her house at Peighinn an Duin, just to the south of Earlish, and is buried at Kilmuir just to the north of Uig.
