Escape of the Young Pretender After Culloden Flight
An account details the 1745 retreat of Charles Edward Stuart after the Battle of Culloden. It traces his perilous voyage from Inverness toward the Isle of Skye, via Ruthness and Stomway, including storms, shipboard peril, disguises, and near capture. The tale ends with his uncertain fate as forces close in, and mentions unrelated dispatches about European affairs and local notices.
