Historians find site famous for its connection to Bonnie Prince Charlie built using wealth from slave plantations
The history of Glenfinnan, one of the most famous sites linked to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite revolt, is being rewritten after significant links to the Atlantic slave trade were uncovered.
Historians have found evidence the Glenfinnan memorial, erected close to where Charles Edward Stuart came ashore in Loch Shiel in 1745, was built using wealth from slave plantations in Jamaica by a descendant of clansmen who took part in the Jacobite rebellion.
