In 1745 the Jacobite Rising began here when Prince Charles Edward Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard here. Prince Charles initially landed from France on Eriskay in the Western Isles. He then travelled to the mainland in a small rowing boat, coming ashore at Loch nan Uamh. On arrival on the Scottish mainland, he was met by a small number of clansmen from Clan MacDonald. He waited for a number of days as more clansmen from Clan MacDonald, Clan Cameron, Clan Macfie and Clan MacDonnell arrived, On 19 August 1745, after Prince Charles judged he had enough military support, MacMaster of Glenaladale raised his royal standard. The Young Pretender then announced to all the mustered clans he claimed the Scottish and the English thrones in the name of his father James Stuart, the Old Pretender. A MacPhee, Macfie, was one of two pipers with Bonnie Prince Charlie when he raised his banner. The bagpipes have a bag that holds air. The player keeps the bag full of air by blowing into it with a tube or pumping it with a bellows. To make music, the bag is pressed and the air comes out through a kind of flute or chanter. There are usually one or more other tubes coming from the bag that make sounds whenever the bag is squeezed, called drones. Each drone normally plays a different note, and stays on the same note the whole time it is playing, to play a harmony with the chanter. The sounds are made by a single or, more commonly, double reed which vibrates when air is blown over it. Bagpipes have been in continuous use across Europe, and especially in Great Britain, Ireland and North Western Spain. In Bulgaria, the bagpipes are called a Gaida. Although there are not many bagpipes today that existed prior to the 1800s there are a few examples that suggest they have existed since ancient times. A sculpture that dates to 1000 BC shows bagpipes. Other references to the bagpipes exist in written form dating to the 2nd century AD. The Great Highland Bagpipe or Piob Mhor, is an instrument with opposing harsh shrills and graceful tones, meant to be played outdoors, in the open countryside and it is well suited in inspiring Scotsmen, and women, on the field of battle and in the aftermath, mourning the fallen, or celebrating victory. Through history, pipers are remembered for being mortally or seriously wounded the latter whilst continuing to play in the face of adversity.
