Our story of Florice
The Flor- of Florice is the Latin word for a flower, and one Flora made it famous in Scotland: Flora MacDonald, a young woman of the Hebrides, helped the defeated Bonnie Prince Charlie escape his pursuers by dressing him as her Irish maid, Betty Burke, and rowing with him over the sea to Skye. Florice has no recorded tie to her, but it shares the flower and the courage in her name.
