Prince Charlie’s Bay, also known as Prince’s Beach, is a historic beach on the Isle of Eriskay in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. It's said to be the place where Bonnie Prince Charlie first set foot on Scottish soil in 1745 before he started his Jacobite uprising to claim the British throne. The beach is also known for its beautiful scenery and flowers. There's a cairn above the beach that commemorates the prince’s landing.
