The 230th anniversary of the death of Prince Charles Edward Stuart occurs on 31st January 2018.

In response to the request from the Battle of Prestonpans (1745) Heritage Trust, Archbishop Leo Cushley of St Andrews & Edinburgh has kindly agreed to be the Celebrant at a private Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of The Prince, to mark this anniversary. It is to be held at St Margaret's Chapel, Archdiocesan Offices, 100 Strathearn Road, Edinburgh EH9 1BB, and will commence at 6pm. It will be followed by the provision of light refreshments in the Centre.

As far as the Trust knows, this will be the first Requiem Mass celebrated in Scotland for The Prince in many years.
