Old Photograph Thatched Cottages Findhorn Scotland


Old photograph of thatched cottages and people in Findhorn, Moray, Scotland. Nearby Findhorn Bay witnessed a brief episode in the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion. In March 1746 the French brigantine Le Bien TrouvĂ© entered the tidal waters with dispatches for Bonnie Prince Charlie but her departure, with the Prince’s aide-de-camp on board, was delayed by the arrival of two British men-o’-war. Unable to enter the shallow bay, the two warships lay in wait in the Firth. Somehow Le Bien TrouvĂ© slipped out and away to safety on a dark night.
