Old Photograph Tongue Scotland

Old photograph of the village of Tongue, Northern Sutherland, Scotland. This Scottish village saw a key battle between a Jacobite treasure ship and two ships of the Royal Navy in 1746, which resulted in the Jacobite crew trying to slip ashore with their gold. They were then caught by the Navy, supported by local people who were loyal to Hanover, which cost Bonnie Prince Charlie valuable support prior to Culloden.
