Not just a #HarryPotter #FilmLocation, #Glenfinnan is where #CharlesEdwardStuart aka #BonniePrinceCharlie hoisted the rebel flag & started the #JacobiteRebellion in 1745. After weeks of lobbying the Clans to join him, he raised his ad hoc Standard with only 200 men at #LochShiel. The Rebellion failed, but left a mark in the #HiddenHistory around us.

The decorative #WhiteRose in the #PlasterworkCeiling of #StMaryLeStrand is a reference to the #Jacobite movement to restore the exiled Catholic King #JamesEdwardStuart aka #ThePretender to the throne. Before the #JacobiteRebellion, Jacobites met to plot in secret & the white rose or white cockade, a flower made of ribbon, was worn to identify loyalty - also worn in battle.

The #HiddenHistory of #StMaryleStrand includes its decoration which began after the #JacobiteRebellion failed. #JamesGibbs and his patron #JohnErskine worked in secret to code #Jacobite cryptic symbolism into the church to promote the cause without revealing its political meaning.
