Charles Edward Stuart's Targe

[creagdhubh]

The other thing to consider here is the National Museum's statement that Ewan of Cluny retrieved the targe from the Culloden battlefield. Cluny and his Macphersons were in Badenoch on the day of the battle and not at Culloden.

Precisely, Rex. Cluny and his Macphersons were indeed further south in Badenoch, participating in a bit of a skirmish there whilst en route to Culloden, but unfortunately, they arrived much too late. Dr. Alan G. Macpherson of St. John's, Newfoundland, describes this account in great detail in his book, "A Day's March to Ruin."
