From 1603 England and Scotland had the same kings but were still
separate countries. In 1707 Scotland and England became one country: the
United Kingdom of Great Britain. Many Scots were not happy that the
English now ruled them. They tried twice to win back their country from
the English, but they lost both times. The last battle was at Culloden, six
miles from Inverness. Here Bonnie Prince Charlie led an army against the
English. He was the last hope the Scots had. But the English beat them.
After the battle, the English tried to fi nd the prince and kill him. But a
Scotswoman, Flora McDonald, hid him in her house. She gave Charlie an
Irish passport and some woman’s clothes. Charlie then travelled with
Flora to the coast as her servant, Betty Burke. There he and Flora took a
boat to Skye, where he hid in a cave. The English looked all over Scotland
for him. They even offered Ј30,000 for information about where Prince
Charlie was but not one Scot said a word. From Skye he later sailed to
France. He never came back to Scotland again. Today Bonnie Prince
Charlie is still a popular hero in Scotland. And many Scots still think of
Culloden as the place where they lost their independence.
