The Loch Arkaig Jacobite Gold

The account

France sent gold for a rising that was already bleeding out. So the coin went into Highland ground, entrusted to men whose ledgers grew quieter every year. Some was spent, some stolen, and some, by every honest reckoning, is still under the heather.

Leads, where the trail points now

• Where the trail goes cold: Landed too late for Culloden, split and buried along the loch by clan keepers, and Cluny Macpherson's accounting never balanced. That is where any serious search begins.
• What you are chasing is 35,000 louis d'or for a lost rebellion. Work the documented record of The Loch Arkaig Jacobite Gold back to primary sources and separate what is attested from folklore before you commit time or money.
• Confirm who owns and governs Loch Arkaig, Scottish Highlands and get written permission before any search; treat protected or archaeological ground as off limits.
