Tour Scotland photograph of the Bonnie Prince Charlie Cairn, Lochaber, Scotland. The Prince's Cairn is a cairn at Loch nan Uamh in Lochaber, Scotland. On 19th September 1746, Charles Edward Stuart arrived from "Cluny's Cage", a refuge on Ben Alder, accompanied by Donald Cameron of Lochiel, John Roy Stewart, and others. There they found L'Heureux, the French frigate that was to carry him to safety. All that day, the 19th, they embarked the refugees that were to accompany the Prince into exile, and on the 20th they sailed away from Scotland. The Prince never saw Scotland again. Loch nan Uamh is also the place where the Prince first set foot on mainland Great Britain on 25 July 1745 and the place from where Charles escaped to the Hebrides after the Battle of Culloden.
