"Bonnie Prince Charlie at Holyrood" is a historical painting by Scottish artist William Simson (1800–1847) that captures a significant moment in the Jacobite rising of 1745. The artwork depicts Charles Edward Stuart, known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, which served as his headquarters during the height of his campaign to restore the Stuart dynasty to the British throne.

The painting is rich in historical symbolism and portrays the young prince surrounded by his supporters and Highland chiefs, emphasizing the romantic vision of the Jacobite cause. Simson, who was known for his historical and genre paintings, created this work to reflect the nostalgia and romanticism associated with the Jacobite rebellions, which by the 19th century had become a subject of legend and sentimentality in Scottish and British culture.

In "Bonnie Prince Charlie at Holyrood," Simson's use of color, composition, and attention to period detail not only provides a visual narrative of the events of 1745 but also contributes to the mythologizing of the prince's character. The painting is a testament to the enduring fascination with the Jacobite story and the figure of Bonnie Prince Charlie, whose failed quest to reclaim the throne remains a poignant chapter in Scottish history.

The artwork serves as an important cultural artifact, reflecting the 19th-century interest in Scotland's past and the broader Romantic movement's preoccupation with heroic failure and the noble savage. As a historical piece, it offers insight into the ways in which art can shape and influence the collective memory of a nation's past.

"Bonnie Prince Charlie at Holyrood" is held in various collections and has been exhibited in galleries that focus on Scottish art and history. It continues to be a subject of interest for historians, art enthusiasts, and those captivated by the legacy of the Jacobite risings.
