‘I noticed something else I would have liked to stop and examine – a memorial cairn by the side of the road…I have learned since that it was erected in honour of one Roderick Mackenzie, an officer who, being tall and fair, allowed himself to be mistaken for Prince Charlie during the hectic days that followed Culloden, when the Prince himself was in hiding in a cave at Corriedoe guarded by ‘Seven men of Glen Moriston’. Crying ‘Rascals – would you kill your king?’ Mackenzie was slain by the soldiers; and his head was delivered up to the authorities. My informer has no doubt that this heroic ruse facilitated the Prince’s escape’.
Macrow 1948, 59
