_N.B._--When Captain Alexander Macdonald was in my room (Tuesday,
December 29th) I read to him those passages in [Sidenote: _fol._
640.] Mr. Æneas Macdonald's Journal which relate to the landing
and the marching down the country, and upon which he gave me his
observations. I took them down in writing from his own mouth, and
they are as follows:--
[Sidenote: July 1745]
Vol. 3, page 509, 514. It is an oversight either in Mr. Æneas
Macdonald or in Dr. Burton not to have mentioned that the Prince
actually landed in Lochnannuagh upon the Arisaig side,[358] and
went to Boradale, which was the first roof he was under upon the
continent of Scotland, Boradale is in Arisaig. The landing at
Lochshiel must be a mistake, as no ship can land there, seeing it
is only a fresh water loch. This will be better cleared up in the
following paragraph.
[358] I asked particularly at Captain Alexander MacDonald whether the
Prince arrived on the Arisaig or Moidart side, and he assured me he
landed on Arisaig. This serves to clear up any doubt in Vol. 2, f.
355, and Vol. 3, f. 573.
