Prince's Cairn, Historical memorial cairn at Loch nan Uamh, Scotland.
The stone cairn stands on the shores of Loch nan Uamh, marking the location where Charles Edward Stuart departed Scotland in September 1746.
The 1745 Association constructed this memorial in 1956 to commemorate the departure point of Prince Charles Edward Stuart following the Jacobite rising defeat.
The memorial features inscriptions in both English and Gaelic languages, reflecting the dual linguistic heritage of the Scottish Highlands.
Visitors can access the cairn from a large parking area along the A830 Road to the Isles, with Beasdale railway station located 2.5 miles west.
The cairn marks both the beginning and end of the Jacobite campaign, as Prince Charles Edward Stuart first landed and later departed from this exact location.
