The Museum has also lent a number of items from our collection to the wonderful Kildonan Museum on the Isle of South Uist for their new exhibition, A Prince on the run. See

The items belonged to Marshal Macdonald of France, military leader during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Often called the "French Macdonald", the Marshal's father was Neil MacEachen, a Jacobite supporter who assisted Bonnie Prince Charlie escape capture by Government troops searching the Outer Isles. I visited the site of Marshal Macdonald's ancestors' family home where there is a history board.
You'll see our items are being watched over by a tapestry depicting Flora Macdonald and I also visited her birthplace at Milton and her memorial.
