Flora MacDonald, Tory and befriender of the Young Pretender, was the daughter of Ranald and Marion MacDonald, who lived on the Isle of Uist in the Hebrides. Her father died when she was a small child. When her mother married Hugh McDonald, Flora was left with relatives who were responsible for her education. For several years she lived with Lady Clanranald, of her father's family, who hired a governess for Flora. In 1739 Lady Margaret, the wife of Sir Alexander McDonald, invited her to Monkstadt, their home on the Isle of Skye. She went with them to Edinburgh to complete her education but returned to Skye in 1745, an accomplished young lady.(Submitted on January 20, 2023, by Michael Buckner of Durham, North Carolina.)
