The secret Highland hideouts of a fugitive Prince

There are at least two caves on Uist where the Prince is thought to have hidden in June 1746 while making his escape from Scotland.
One lies at the top of a steep slope in Glen Corodale.
Concealed in a rock face, it measures around 1.6m high and 3.4 metres deep and is said to be big enough to hide three or four men.
Some have suggested this is where the Prince remained as he waited to hear if Flora MacDonald would help him leave for Skye.
Earlier, he had been in the Lochboisdale area where he became increasingly tense given news Captain Carolyn Scott, a Hanoverian with a reputation for cruelty, was on his way to Uist.
The Prince retired to the mountains and rested in a cave at the foot of Triuirebheinn, just north of Ben Kenneth where he could look out over the water.

This is where the Prince enjoyed cold meat and wine ahead of his voyage from Skye to the mainland in July 1746.
He stopped here as the head of Clan Mackinnon took charge of the next leg of his escape.
Having been brought to the island by Flora MacDonald, the Prince headed for Raasay, but fearing it was too small a place to conceal him, returned to Skye for safety,
Arrangements were made for a boat to take him from Elgol to the mainland.
On arrival at the cave, where he was to pick up his boat, he met Lady Mackinnon "who had laid out a refreshment of cold meat and wine and which the whole party partook."
Following the supper, he was assisted to the boat by Captain Malcolm McLeod, who had accompanied the Prince through Skye.
Before boarding, the Prince shared a pipe with his friend which was lit by McLeod's gun. Charles cheek was burnt given the pipe was very short.
The boat left from the cave by 9pm with the party crossing roughly 30 miles to a spot near Mallaig.

According to accounts, the Prince joined the Seven Men of Glenmoriston at their cave in the Braes of Glenmoriston on July 23 1746.
Illustrator Lockhart Bogle gave his representation of the cave (top) with the interior later sketched out (above).
The hideaway became known as Robber's Cave but the name is regarded as not entirely accurate. The men were on the run - and fighting for their survival - following Culloden.
"They had seen their homes laid desolate, their kindred laid slain and their fellow clansmen sent as slaves to the plantations," according to accounts.
Despite a £30,000 bounty on the Prince's head, the Glenmoriston men were not swayed by the reward for his capture.
Instead, The Prince was treated as a "cherished guest" and treated to a dinner of mutton, butter and cheese with whisky.
His lodgings came 'with the finest purling stream that could be running by his bedside within the grotto" with the Prince lodging as "comfortably as if he had been in a royal palace."
The Prince spent the next three weeks in hiding places and caves known to the Glenmoriston men, according to accounts.

Walkers and historians have long sought to establish the location of the hideout where the Young Pretender stayed with Cluny MacPherson in early September 1746 after five months on the run,
The first picture shows one suggested spot for Cluny's Cage, an enclosure built from timber and thatched by a copice of trees.
However, several theories as to the cage's whereabouts have been put forward, most recently by the 1745 Association who believe the true spot is around 1 kilometre higher than the sport marked on the Ordnance Survey Map and slightly to the west. Pictured is Glen MacDonald of the association at the site earlier this month.
The Prince left the hideout on September 13 after hearing a French ship was on its way to collect him from Loch Nan Uamh in Lochaber.
It is claimed he slept in another cave by Arisiag House by Borrodale Beach on the night before he finally left Scotland for France on September 20.
