Visitors share highlights from Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobites exhibition

"A very powerful exhibit"
"You have a feeling that you are stepping back in time"
"It really brings everything alive from that period of time"

We asked visitors to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobites to share their views with us. Listen to what they said about this major exhibition, now showing at the National Museum of Scotland. The exhibition shares a compelling story of loyalty, loss, rebellion and retribution. Discover who the Jacobites really were and examine some of the misconceptions that have surrounded their story for generations.

On display from 23 June to 12 November 2017. Find out more at http://www.nms.ac.uk/jacobites #Jacobites
