Prince Charlies Cave


Prince Charlies Cave, is a cave where Charles Edward Stuart was said to have sheltered there with Ewen MacPherson of Cluny for 5 days in 1746, when on the run from the Duke of Cumberland, after the defeat at the Battle of Culloden. The cave is supposedly located on Meilchan, a small green hillock, overlooking Loch nan Uamh in Druimindarroch in Inverness-shire, Scotland. However, there has been many locations suggested for the location, and it has never been found, until a possible location for the cave was located on Ben Alder.
