	Flora Macdonald - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flora MacDonald (1722 – March 5, 1790), Jacobite heroine, was the daughter of Ranald MacDonald of Milton in the island of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, and his wife Marion, the daughter of Angus MacDonald.
		The commander of the militia in the island, a MacDonald, who was probably admitted into the secret, gave her a pass to the mainland for herself, a manservant, an Irish spinning maid, Betty Burke, and a boat's crew of six men.
		The talk of the boatmen brought suspicion on Flora MacDonald, and she was arrested and brought to London.
