Interesting views on Bonnie Prince Charlie. According to a bio of Flora McDanald, she had to be coaxed quite a bit to help "Betty Burke" escape over the sea to Skye. She was eventually captured and spent some time in London although was allowed a certain amount of freedom due to influential Jabobite symathises in England. Often she would be invited (apparently) to relate her adventures at society meetings however, she would use pseudonyms for the characters involved to protect their identity. Flora was eventally freed and moved to North Carolina. Her husband, also a McDonald but not related, fought for the British in the American War of Independence. He was captured however, later bought his freedom. The couple returned to Skye following a year's posting in Nova Scotia. Flora is buried at Flodigary, Skye. Charlie never ever contacted her after his flight to France.
