Prince Charles Edward Stuart arrived at Loch nan Uamh on 25th July 1745, his first landing on the British Mainland. He stayed at Kinlochmoidart House from the 11th-17th of August 1745, before raising the Jacobite standard at Glenfinnan on the 19th August. Subsequently, the House was burned in 1746, in reprisals by Cumberland's troops. The estate was forfeited and Macdonald imprisoned in Edinburgh. Major John Macdonald, the Jacobite Donald Macdonald's grandson, bought the estate back in 1785 and built a new house. However, he was an army officer and died unmarried in 1794.
"Miss Macdonald of Kinlochmoidart" is probably Major John's sister, Margarita Macdonald, Lady of Kinlochmoidart (1773-1844), the daughter of Alexander Macdonald, 5th of Kinlochmoidart and Susannah Campbell. She married Lt.-Col. David Robertson-Macdonald in 1799.
