About this episode

Join me on my historic tour of Scotland, May 15th-21st. MARCH 25th is the LAST DAY TO BOOK: https://trovatrip.com/trip/europe/united-kingdom/united-kingdom-with-lindsay-holiday-may-2024

Fans of the hit show Outlander or of Scottish history in general have likely heard of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Battle of Culloden and the Jacobite succession. This 18th century feud between members of the British royal family over the throne led to a massacre of Scotsman and the outlaw of highland culture. But who are the Jacobites, Why did they try to take the throne and who do their supporters believe should be the Monarch of the United Kingdom today?
