A. Read the following text attentively and decide whether the following statements are true
(T) or false (F): 20 points

Bonnie Prince Charlie

In 1707 Scotland and England became one country: the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Before
that they were two independent countries with their own parliaments. Some Scots, especially in
the Highlands, were not happy that the government was now in London and not in Edinburgh.
They believed that a member of the Scottish royal family, a Stuart, should be king of England and
Scotland and they wanted an independent Scottish parliament again.

Their last hope was in 1745 when Charles Edward Stuart - or Bonnie Prince Charlie, as he is
often called – led an army against the English. The last battle was at Culloden, six miles from
Inverness, on April 16th 1746. But the English, with an army of 9000 men, easily defeated the
5000 Scots from the Highlands.

After the battle, Bonnie Prince Charlie escaped to the Outer Hebrides, where he hid in lonely
caves and huts. The English tried to find the prince and kill him. But a Scotswoman, Flora
Macdonald, helped Charlie to get an Irish passport and gave him some women’s clothes. Charlie
then travelled with Flora as her servant, Betty Burke, “over the sea of Skye*”. The English
looked everywhere for him. They even offered 30 000 pounds for information where Prince
Charlie was, but not one Scotsman said a word. He later sailed to France and never came back to
Scotland again. Today Bonnie Prince Charlie is still a popular hero in Scotland, and some Scots
still think of Culloden as the place where they lost their independence.
