Tour Scotland Travel Video Trotternish Peninsula Isle Of Skye Inner Hebrides
Tour Scotland travel video of Trotternish, Scottish Gaelic, Tròndairnis, the northernmost peninsula, on ancestry visit to the Isle Of Skye, Inner Hebrides, Scotland. Flodigarry north of Staffin on the peninsula was between 1750 and 1772 the home of Flora MacDonald, the Jacobite made famous by her part in Charles Edward Stuart's escape after his defeat at Culloden. She later moved to Kingsburgh on the southwestern coast of Trotternish, and it was here that Boswell and Johnson met her during their tour of the Western Isles in 1773. Johnson, who held Jacobite views when younger, commented that she was a woman of " soft features, gentle manners and elegant presence."
