CLUNY’S CAGE
Charles Edward Stuart (1720-1788), commonly known as the Young Pretender, or Bonnie
Prince Charlie, is an important figure in Scotland’s history. He believed the British crown was
his birthright and together with his Jacobite followers planned to remove the Hanoverian
usurper George II from the throne. His bold attempt to achieve this, initiated in 1745, ended
with the total defeat of his army at the Battle of Culloden. 8.1. Bonnie Prince Charlie
was one of them.
Historians from the 1745 Association have long sought to establish the whereabouts of
the hideout where Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed with Cluny MacPherson, one of his closest
allies, in early September 1746. Maps of the area have long marked “Prince Charlie’s Cave”,
also called “Cluny’s Cage”, on the southern slopes of Ben Alder. 8.2. They claim that
slightly to the west of the traditional spot they have found a location which more closely
matches MacPherson’s description of the prince’s shelter.
The vice-president of the 1745 Association commented on the discovery saying that it cannot
be claimed with any certainty that it is the real site of “Cluny’s Cage”, but it is a reasonable
candidate. 8.3. And the two large rocks found there must indeed have formed a perfect
fireplace from which there was a natural chimney. Besides, smaller stones at the site appear to
be blackened on the underside, suggesting a fire may have been lit there. The new location fits
MacPherson’s description almost entirely. 8.4. Yet, it follows from various accounts
that there were some in this area during the mid-18th century. The Association will now consider
what further research or archaeological work may be possible and affordable in order to
establish this claim beyond doubt.
