The Lost Treasure of Bonnie Prince Charlie (Scottish Folklore)
T-SHIRT LINK: https://shop.spreadshirt.co.uk/liath-wolf/
Many of the more recent tales in Scottish folklore come from the time of the forty-five rebellions. This rebellion was one of the many Jacobite rebellions during the 17th and 18th centuries. The Jacobite’s, believed that the crown of England Scotland and Ireland, should have been handed down through primogeniture, which is the right of the first-born legitimate child to inherit the parents’ titles and estate. To this end they followed the so-called pretenders to the throne, those who had been dismissed, because of their belief in roman Catholicism. The Jacobite’s were not only Scottish but were joined by English men and the Irish. in fact, many of the Scottish clans fought on the side of the new monarchy during the rebellions. so, with this knowledge you will know appreciate the chaos that occurred in 1745, when a Charles Edward Stewart, known to English as the young pretender, landed in Scotland on the isle of Erisky with a small fleet of French ships, where he could unite the highland clans and head south to take the kingdom that by right belonged to him. This is the background to the tale I have for you today, because it was said that when Charles Edward Stewart arrived in Scotland, he came with a great amount of gold to aid him in his task. The lost treasure of Bonnie Prince Charlie.
It was no secret in those days that the French monarchy supported the pretenders to the throne and were known to have financed many of the previous Jacobite rebellions. and this one was no different. On one of the French ships there was said to be great chests of gold. As could be expected, the transportation and storage of such a great wealth was not easy. So, the gold was divided. Bonnie Prince Charlie would take half with him and the main force and head south to rally more men and begin his great uprising. But the other half was left in the highlands, in the care of Duncan Macrae, the wizard of Sutherland. Duncan was said to have been endowed with the powers of second sight since birth, and all throughout the highlands he was respected as a wise and powerful sorcerer. It was because of this that Bonnie Prince Charlie tasked him with the safe keeping of the gold.
