Early life
Her faither deet suin efter her birth an in 1728, her mither remairrit Hugh MacDonald o Armadale, Skye. Flora wis brocht up bi her faither's cousin, Sir Alexander MacDonald o Sleat. Whiles some MacDonalds remaint Catholic, in pairticular in the Isles, her faimily wis part o the Presbyterian majority.
The escape o Prince Charles Edward Stuart
Flora wis visitin Benbecula in the Ooter Hebrides whan Prince Charles an a small group o aides teuk refuge there efter the Battle o Culloden in Juin 1746. Ane o his companions, Captain Conn O'Neill fae County Antrim, wis a distant relation tae Flora an speirt fur her help. MacDonald o Sleat hadnae jynt the Rebellion an Benbecula wis rin bi a pro-govrenment militia heidit bi Flora's step-faither, Hugh MacDonald. This connection alloued her tae obtain the necessar permits but she wis apparent hesitant, feart o the consequences fur her faimily gif thay war caucht. She micht hiv been takin less o a risk nor it appears; witnesses later claimt Hugh advist the Prince whaur tae skauk fae his sairch pairties.
Passes wis gien oot allouin vaiyage tae the mainland fur Flora, a boat's crew o sax men an twa personal servants, includin Charles disguised as an Irish maid cried Betty Burke. On 27 Juin, thay laundit near Sir Alexander's hoose at Monkstadt, near Kilbride, Skye. In his absence, his wife Lady Margaret arranged lodgin wi her stewart, MacDonald o Kingsburgh, that telt Charles tae remuive his disguise, as it jist makit him mair conspicuous. The neist day, Charles wis taen fae Portree tae the isle o Raasay; Flora steyed on Skye an thay niver met again.
Twa week later, the boatmen wis detaint an confesst; Flora an Kingsburgh wis arreistit an taen tae the Touer o Lunnon. Efter Lady Margaret intervent on her behauf wi the chief Scots legal officer, Duncan Forbes o Culloden, she wis alloued tae bide ootwi the Touer unner the ee o a "King's Messenger" an releast efter the Juin 1747 Act of Indemnity. Aristocratic sympathisers gaithert ower £1,500 fur her, ane o the conteributors bein Frederick, Prince o Wales, heir t the throne; Flora allegedly telt him she aidit Charles oot o chairity an wid hiv duin the selsame fur him.
On 6 November 1750, at the age o 28, she mairrit Allen MacDonald, a captain in the British Airmy an Kingsburgh's auldest son. The couple furst bidit at Flodigarry, Skye an inheritit the faimily estate efter Kingsburgh deet in 1772. The scriever an Jacobite sympathiser Samuel Johnson met her in 1773 durin his visit tae the isle, an later descrievit her as "a wumman o saft featurs, gentle manners, kind soul an elegant presence". He wis the author ofthe inscrievin on her memorial at Kilmuir: "a name that will be mentioned in history, and if courage and fidelity be virtues, mentioned with honour".
Emigration tae North Carolina
Allan MacDonald serrt in the 114th an 62nd Regiments of Foot durin the 1756–1763 Seiven Years' War but wis a puir businessman. Efter haein an argiment wi his clan chief ower rent, he an Flora emigratit tae Anson County, North Carolina in 1774 whaur they sattlit on an estate near Mountain Creek, cried 'Killegray'. Whan the American War o Independence stairtit in 1775, Allan raisit the Anson Battalion o the Loyalist North Carolina Militia, a tot o aroond 1,000 men, includin his sons Alexander an James. En route tae the coast fur collection b British transports, thay war atteckit bi an American force at the Battle o Moore's Creek Brig on 28 Februar 1776 an Allan wis taen prisoner.
In Apryle 1777, the North Carolina Provincial Congress confiscatit Loyalist-awnt property an Flora wis evickit fae Killegray, wi the loss o aw her possessions. Efter 18 month in captivity, Allan wis releast in September 1777; he wis postit tae Fort Edward, Nova Scotia as heistmast o the 84th Regiment of Foot whaur Flora jynt him in August 1778.
Return tae Skye
Efter a harsh winter in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in September 1779 Flora teuk vaiyag fur Lunnon in the Dunmore, a British privateer; durin the traivals, she brakit her airm an ill-heal delayed her return tae Scotland til spring 1780. She spent the neist twathree year bidin wi sindry faimily memmers, includin Dunvegan, hame o her son-in-law Major General Alexander Macleod, the mucklemaist laundawner in Skye efter the MacDonalds. The compensation received fur the loss o thair North Carolina estates wisna eneuch tae let thaim sattle in Nova Scotia an Allan returnt tae Scotland in 1784. As Kingsburgh wis noo hame tae Flora's hauf-sister an her husband, Flora an Allan sattlit on the near tack o Penduin.
She deet in 1790 at the age o 68 an wis buirit in Kilmuir Cemetery, her husband deein in September 1792.

A third son John makit his siller in Indie, giein his parents eneuch tae spend thair final years in some comfort.
Legacy
The Victorians makit a Scots cultural identity shawn throu tairtans, the late 19th-yeirhunner inventions o Burns Suppers an Heiland Gemms, an the co-option o romantic icons siclik Mary, Queen of Scots an Bonnie Prince Charlie. In 1878, Flora teuk her place in this pantheon wi the furthsettin o an alleged 'Autobiography'; ghaist-scrievit b her granddauchter Flora Frances Wylde; it wis sae fu o mony errors that it cidnae hae been wrate bi Fora hersel. Repeatit bi Charles Ewald in his 1886 buik The Life and Times of Prince Charles Edward, it remains the basis fur mony faur ben leuks on her life an motivations.
In 1884, Sir Harold Boulton wrate an adaptation o an existin melody that he cried 'The Skye Boat Song'. This wis suin follaed b the first performance o the Scots Heilan Dance "Flora MacDonald's Fancy", whiles a bronze statue wis pit up at Inverness Castle in 1896. The Flora MacDonald Academy, aat uised tae be Flora Macdonald College, in Red Springs, North Carolina is cried efter her an twa o her bairns ar buirit on the campus; til 2009, it wis the steid o the Flora Macdonald Heiland Gemms an aw.
