Flora Macdonald: The Most Loyal Rebel

Flora MacDonald's voyage over the sea to Sky with the fugitive Bonnie Prince Charlie dressed as her maid made her into an instant heroine and the subject of legend and song. The world admired her bravery, but after she returned to Sky, she and her new husband, Allan, met with evby and financial disaster. They emigrated to Carolina, but hardly settled there when the American War of Independence broke out - and again they found themselves on the losing side. Allan was taken prisoner and Flora had to defend herself alone against a hostile community. On Allan's release, he and Flora were reunited in New York and made their way to Nova Scotia where they survived a bitter winter before returning to Scotland. This biography, based on research in Scotland, North Carolina and Nova Scotia, and from other sources aims to offer a rounded picture of this indomitable woman who was much more than the young woman who helped Bonnie Prince Charlie over the sea to Sky.
