The white sandy beach named Coilleag a’ Phrionnsa , translates as "the Prince's cockleshell strand" and is on Eriskay’s west coast where the exiled Bonnie Prince Charlie first set foot on Scottish soil, when he was landed there by the French frigate Doutelle on 23 July 1745 to begin his great adventure.
Charles met with Alexander Macdonald of Boisdale who urged him to go home. Charles is reported to have said "I am come home sir". He then sailed for the Scottish mainland to raise his standard at Glenfinnan before his defeat at Culloden near Inverness.
