‘His Majestie’s troops afterwards search’d the woods of Locharkick for this money, and were often round the place where it was, and missed very narrowly finding it, for being hid by Gentlemen, not used to work, it was very unskilfully done, and the stamps and impression of their feet visible about the place. But as soon as Dr. Cameron found a proper opportunity, He went and took up the money and hid it in two different places of the wood. In one of them he put 12,000_l._, wch he shewed to his own son, and another man, That in case he was taken, it might not be lost altogether, and the other part he put in a place which he shewed to nobody. And thus it remained till a Ship arriv’d in Loch Nonha to carry off the Pretender &c. When the above Ship arriv’d He (the Pretender) was sckulking in one of the Glens of Brad Badenoch where he had been for some time conceal’d in a place under ground, with Lochiel, Cluny Mcpherson, and some other person. Upon receiving Intelligence of the arrival of this Ship, It seems it was concerted That Cluny should remain in Scotland and have the Charge of the money. And having come all together from Badenoch to Locharkick, they got Dr. Cameron, who went and shew’d Cluny the 2 different places where the money was: Left him in that Country, and the rest went and embarked with the Pretender in Loch Nonha. Whether there was any of the bags then taken up (as is probable) carried with them, or how many, is what I am not informed of. ‘But Certain it is that Cluny immediately after Carried the £12,000 to Badenoch And there were in Company wth. him Angus Cameron (of Downan) a Rannoch Man, brother to Gleneavis, McPherson of Breachy (Breakachy), a brother in Law of his own, and his piper. ‘The other part of the money, was shew’d to no Living but himself, and he either did not find an opportunity, or did not think convenient to come for it, untill a month afterwards, when he came and carried it also away, but I am not justly Informed who were wth. him, nor how much was of it, tho’ It is generally believed That he got betwixt £20 and £30,000 in all. ‘It is said by Cluny’s Friends that the Pretender, after embarking, sent a note to Cluny with particular instructions how he was to manadge the money and to whom he was to give any part of it,[75] and _they say that he has conformed in the most exact manner to his Instructions_, but The other Rebells in the highlands grumble egregiously That he has not done them justice. I have only heard That he gave £100 to Lady Keppoch[76] and have reason to think That if he made any other distributions it was to some other of the principall Gentlemen of The Different Clans, to be given away among their people, and that those have thought fit to retain all to themselves.
