Scope and Content Modern-day photographs depicting the journey of the pretender to the throne Charles Edward Stuart (better known as Bonnie Prince Charlie) as he travelled south through Scotland and into England. In 1745, he landed from France and quickly assembled an army of Jacobite sympathisers. This army marched south, intending to reach London and reclaim the throne that Charles believed was rightfully his; they reached as far as Derby before turning back. In the mid-2000s, Cairns Aitken followed in these Jacobite footsteps, documenting the journey. The 1745 Jacobite Rebellion or Rising, also known as “The Forty Five”, is associated with Charles Edward Stuart (1720-1788) - better known as Bonnie Prince Charlie. He was the oldest son of James Stuart, the Old Pretender, and the grandson of James VII of Scotland and II of England and Ireland. As the Young Pretender, Bonnie Prince Charlie determined to start an uprising, which became known as the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion. His intention was to recapture the throne in support of his father, the exiled king of Great Britain. The Rebellion ended in a crushing defeat for the Prince and his followers at The Battle of Culloden on 16th April 1746. The Prince finally sailed from Scotland to permanent exile in Europe.
