Ruined cottage and memorial cairn at Milton, South Uist, marking the birthplace of Flora MacDonald

The ruined foundations of the house where Flora MacDonald was brought up stand at Milton (Airigh Mhuilinn) on the west side of South Uist, signposted from the A865. Flora (1722–1790) helped Charles Edward Stuart escape after the defeat at Culloden in 1746 and was later held in the Tower of London before her release in 1747.

Clan Donald raised a memorial cairn within the walls of the cottage to mark her birthplace nearby. The site is open access, with views over the surrounding fields.
