This year marks the 280th anniversary of Bonnie Prince Charlie’s stay at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in September 1745. There are many amazing objects connected to the Jacobite’s found around the Palace of Holyroodhouse, including a beautiful box featuring a miniature of Bonnie Prince Charlie himself.
