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 north from England. In 1745, he had marched south towards London with a large Jacobite army intent on reclaiming the throne (he had reached as far as Derby before turning back). His journey north was to end in the ultimate defeat of the Jacobite army in 1746 at the Battle of Culloden, and Cairns Aitken has followed in his footsteps recording various points on his journey through England and into the Highlands of Scotland. 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. With this goal, he set off to London with an army of Jacobite supporters. The army reached as far as Derby before turning back to Scotland, fearing an attack by British armies led by the Duke of Cumberland and General Wade. Their retreat took them through Cumbria, Falkirk, Stirling, Perthshire and through the Highlands to Inverness. 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 on 20th September 1746 to permanent exile in Europe.
