"The Skye Boat Song" is a Scottish folk song, which can be played as a waltz, recalling the escape of Prince Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) from Uist to the Isle of Skye after his defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746.
Sir John Murray of Broughton, 7th Baronet Stanhope (c. 1718 – 6 December 1777), was a Jacobite, who served as secretary to Prince Charles Edward Stuart ('Bonnie Prince Charlie') during the Jacobite Rising of 1745.
 He later earned the hatred of the Jacobites by turning King's evidence.
The West Highland Museum, in the centre of Fort William, Scotland, tells the story of the mountainous West Highlands of Scotland and its people.
 It has seven rooms on three floors, with an extensive collection of exhibits relating to the Jacobites, including the eighteenth century "secret portrait" of Bonnie Prince Charlie.
 Later royalty is represented by a collection of Victoriana, including the Highland regalia gifted by Queen Victoria to her favourite servant, John Brown.
Giles Hussey (1710–1788) was a painter from Dorset, England.
 His portraits are well regarded, but his theories on art never received the attention he craved.
 He believed that each note of music represented a colour.
 He created the first portrait of Charles Edward Stuart, the pretender to the British throne.
 Hussey has works in the Tate Gallery.
Samuel Ward (1732–1820) owned property in Derby and Richmond in England.
 As a boy he was food taster to Bonnie Prince Charlie and was rewarded with a diamond ring which is now in the collection of Derby Museum and Art Gallery along with his portrait by Joseph Wright.
The "lost portrait" of Charles Edward Stuart is a portrait, painted in late autumn 1745 by Scottish artist Allan Ramsay, of Charles Edward Stuart, also known as the Young Pretender or Bonnie Prince Charlie.
Charles Edward Louis John Casimir Sylvester Severino Maria Stuart (31 December 1720 – 31 January 1788), commonly known in Britain during his lifetime as The Young Pretender and The Young Chevalier, and often known in retrospective accounts as Bonnie Prince Charlie, was the second Jacobite pretender to the thrones of England, Scotland, France and Ireland (as Charles III) from the death of his father in 1766.
 This claim was based on his status as the eldest son of James Francis Edward Stuart, himself the son of James VII and II.
 Charles is perhaps best known as the instigator of the unsuccessful Jacobite uprising of 1745, in which he led an insurrection to restore his family to the throne of Great Britain.
 The uprising ended in defeat at the Battle of Culloden, effectively terminating the Jacobite cause.
 Jacobites supported the Stuart claim because they hoped for religious toleration for Roman Catholics and because they believed in the divine right of kings.
 Charles's flight from Scotland after the uprising has rendered him a romantic figure of heroic failure in some later representations.
 In 1759 he was involved in a French plan to invade Britain, which was abandoned after British naval victories.
Bonnie Prince Charlie is a 1948 British historical film directed by Anthony Kimmins for London Films depicting the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion and the role of Bonnie Prince Charlie within it.
 Filmed in Technicolor, it starred David Niven, Jack Hawkins and Margaret Leighton.
Claude Earl "Charlie, Chuck" Rayner, "Bonnie Prince Charlie" (August 11, 1920 – October 6, 2002) was a Canadian professional hockey goaltender who played 9 seasons in the National Hockey League for the New York Americans and New York Rangers.
 He is an honoured member of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Portrait painting in Scotland includes all forms of painted portraiture in Scotland, from its beginnings in the early sixteenth century until the present day.
 The origins of the tradition of portrait painting in Scotland are in the Renaissance, particularly through contacts with the Netherlands.
 The first portrait of a named person that survives is that of Archbishop William Elphinstone, probably painted by a Scottish artist using Flemish techniques around 1505.
 Around the same period Scottish monarchs turned to the recording of royal likenesses in panel portraits, painted in oils on wood.
 The tradition of royal portrait painting in Scotland was probably disrupted by the minorities and regencies it underwent for much of the sixteenth century.
 It began to flourish after the Reformation, with paintings of royal figures and nobles by Netherlands artists Hans Eworth, Arnold Bronckorst and Adrian Vanson.
 A specific type of Scottish picture from this era was the "vendetta portrait", designed to keep alive the memory of an atrocity.
 The Union of Crowns in 1603 removed a major source of artistic patronage in Scotland as James VI and his court moved to London.
 The result has been seen as a shift "from crown to castle", as the nobility and local lairds became the major sources of patronage.
