Kristen Stewart has been tipped to star in a film about Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Battle of Culloden.
The 24 year old Twilight actress has been offered one of the leading roles in The Great Getaway as Flora MacDonald - the young woman who helped Charles Edward Stuart flee to Skye in a boat.
MacDonald was said to be from a family of Jacobean sympathisers who lived in Benbecula, an island in the Outer Hebrides, where the prince was hiding from captors from the Hanover militia.
If she takes the part, Stewart will be working alongside Braveheart actor Brendan Gleeson and Neds star Peter Mullen in the £6.5 million film, which has been written by Glasgow born Robbie Moffatt.
Shooting of the £6.5million film is to begin this June in Dumfries and Galloway.
