GLENFINNAN MONUMENT, LOCHABER

-

Framed by dramatic mountain scenery, the lone highlander on top of the monument commemorat­es those who died fighting for the Jacobite cause.

But it is the links to Flora macdonald, famed for helping Bonnie Prince Charlie escape after the Jacobite defeat at Culloden, that appeals most to Jackie.

she says: ‘it is a stunning memorial. But the story of Flora’s life after the uprising is an incredible tale about an incredible life. shamefully, i didn’t know that after the rescue, Flora was betrayed, captured and taken to London. Bizarrely, she ended up receiving a life pension from the hanoverian royals.’
