Listen to a series of interviews with local historian Tommy Macdonald in his ongoing series of stories and conversations about Bonnie Prince Charlie:
Neil MacEachan, the Multilingual Uibhisteach Jean-Didier Hache and Tommy Macdonald discuss in English the life of Neil MacEachan, Bonnie Prince Charlie's guide while he was on the run in the Hebrides.
Uist and the French MacDonald - Jean-Didier Hache is a frequent traveller between Paris and Uist, having the good fortune to have a home in each location. He is also a writer and historian, among other things, and so is perfectly placed to offer Tommy Macdonald a French perspective on the Bonnie Prince Charlie story. He summarises in French the stories of Neil MacEachan and his son Alexander Macdonald from the time of the 45 through the Napoleonic era.
The French MacDonald Jean-Didier Hache discusses in English with Tommy Macdonald the remarkable story of Neil MacEachan's son, "The French Macdonald", who rose through the ranks of Napoleon's army.
Paul Mc Callum and Tommy Macdonald - In his ongoing series of stories and conversations about Bonnie Prince Charlie Tommy Macdonald sat down with Paul Mc Callum from North Glendale in South Uist, for a yarn or two and a song. The prime focus of attention was on Macdonald of Boisdale – “Alasdair Mòr nam Mart” – held to have given honest advice to the Prince, but whose own reputation was not high amongst local people. Available here in Gaelic.
The Bonnie Prince on Benbecula Tommy Macdonald and Alasdair Maceachen discuss accounts of Bonnie Prince Charlie's movements on Benbecula in English and Gaelic.
The Bonnie Prince and Nunton House Tommy Macdonald quizzes Donald MacPhee on connections between Nunton House and Bonnie Prince Charlie's escapades in the Uists and Benbecula.
