© 2007 The National Galleries of Scotland Clementina Walkinshaw was the youngest of John Walkinshaw's ten daughters who was later to become the mistress of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Their relationship was stormy to say the least he being jealous of her and forever accusing her of having affairs when they were in exile in Europe after the failure of the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion. His paranoia and claims of her unfaithfulness reached the stage whereby he would surround their bed with bells and other alarm systems of alarms in case her admirers crept into their private bed-chamber during the night. She bore him his only daughter Charlotte whom Burns immortalised in the poem 'The Bonnie Lass of Albany'...Albany Street in Bridgeton is named in her memory.
