Loch Arkaig treasure : ウィキペディア英語版 | Loch Arkaig treasure
The treasure of Loch Arkaig, sometimes known as the Jacobite gold, was a large amount of specie provided by Spain to finance the Jacobite rising in Scotland in 1745, and rumoured still to be hidden at Loch Arkaig in Lochaber.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher =Clan Cameron Online )〕 ==Background== In 1745, Prince Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) arrived in Scotland from France and claimed the thrones of Scotland, England and Ireland, in the name of his father James Stuart (the Old Pretender). Although Charles asserted that his venture was supported by Louis XV of France, and that the arrival of French forces in Scotland was imminent, in truth France had little intention to intervene on the Stuarts' behalf. However, some limited financial support was supplied by both Spain and the Pope. Spain pledged some 400,000 livres (or Louis d'Or) per month for the Jacobite cause. However, getting this money to the rebel army was the difficulty. The first instalment (sent via Charles' brother Henry who was resident in France) was dispatched in 1745. The French sloop ''Hazard'' (renamed ''the Prince Charles'') successfully landed its monies on the west coast of Scotland. Unfortunately for the Jacobites, the riches were soon captured by Clan Mackay, who were loyal to King George II,〔''Bonnie Prince Charlie: A biography'', Kybett, Sunan McLean Unwin 1988 ISBN 0-04-440387-9 pp. 192–93.〕 in the Skirmish of Tongue.〔Simpson, Peter.
