sburgh had sent to prepare a boat, and to have it ready to
convey the Prince to the place where he wanted to be at, not allowing
the people about Portree in the meantime to know anything about the
person's being the Prince whom they were to receive and to take care of.
Young MacLeod of Raaza came with Malcolm MacLeod to conduct the Prince
over to the Island of Raaza. The Prince was very uneasy he had not a
MacDonald to conduct him still. He left Portree on Tuesday, the 1st of
July, and landed that very same day at a place called Glam in Raaza.
Miss MacDonald took leave of the Prince at Portree, and from thence went
to her mother, after a fatiguing journey cross the country. She never
told her mother, or indeed anybody else, what she had done.

Cage, where Charles lived with them, till he received notice that two

till, upon Lord Loudon's approach with an army, the few that had got
together were made to disperse. Locheil being then bad of his wounds,
was obliged to shift from his own country to the Braes of Rannoch, near
which, about the 20th of June, in a hill called Benouchk, Cluny
Macpherson met him, and Sir Stuart Threipland, physician, who attended
him for the cure of his wounds. Cluny brought them from thence to
Benalder, a hill of great circumference in that part of Badenoch next to
Rannoch, and his own ordinary grassings;[109] where they remained
together, without ever getting any certain notice of what had become of
the Prince for near three months, when they received the agreeable news
of his being safe at Locharkaik....
The Prince lay the first night at Corineuir, after his coming to
Badenoch, from which he was conducted next day to Mellanauir, a shealing
