Explore the Palace and see if you can find the white cockades along the way. Supporters of Bonnie Prince Charlie liked to show their loyalty by wearing a white cockade on their bonnets, and ladies on their dresses. However, several Jacobites have lost their white cockades in the Palace today- can you find one in every room?
As well as searching for the white cockades you can make one of your own to take home.
