Prince Charlies Cave, Historical cave near Loch nan Uamh, Scotland
The natural cave sits along the rocky coastline of Druimindarroch, overlooking the waters of Loch nan Uamh with steep cliffs surrounding the entrance.
The cave provided shelter to Charles Edward Stuart in 1746 following his defeat at Culloden, where he remained hidden from Cumberland's forces.
The Seven Men of Glenmoriston protected the cave during the summer of 1746, demonstrating the loyalty of Highland clans to the Jacobite cause.
Visitors need to check tide tables and wear suitable hiking boots to reach the cave, as the path involves navigating through rocky coastal terrain.
The cave entrance becomes visible only during low tide, requiring precise timing and local knowledge to access this historical location safely.
