The Gunna Breac was a treasured possession of the MacDonalds of Dalchnosie originally dating to the late 17th/early 18th centuries. It was brought to the Battle of Culloden (1746) by Alexander MacDonald who fought with the Atholl Brigade. A fabulous piece of Jacobite history for all Outlander fans!
Location: Museum of the Isles Armdale Castle Armadale Sleat, Isle of Skye IV45 8RS
Fascinating to learn more of the Gunna Breac. Alexander MacDonald, who died at Culloden was my 6g-grandfather.
Incidentally, I believe that Alastair MacDonald (d 1910) was Mc’Iain, not McLean as stated in the podcast, presumably named after his father John.
Thanks!
