Tour Scotland very short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and Sporran and walking in the rain by Prince Charlie's Cave on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Strathaird Peninsula near Elgol on the coast of Isle of Skye, Inner Hebrides, Britain, United Kingdom. After fleeing the Outer Hebrides with Flora Macdonald, who famously disguised him as her Irish serving maid, Betty Burke, Bonnie Prince Charlie landed in northern Skye. Following a brief stay in Portree and on the island of Raasay, the Prince returned to the main island and marched through the night to Elgol. The Clan MacKinnon took charge of the Prince's welfare. He was sheltered in the cave by the clan chief, where he allegedly ate his last meal on Skye. On 4 July 1746, John MacKinnon and four companions rowed the Prince across to the Scottish mainland, from where he eventually escaped to France. Legend has it that in gratitude for their aid, the Prince gave the MacKinnon clan the secret recipe for his personal liqueur, which later became known as Drambuie whisky. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
