The candelabrum, or epergne shown on this panel was presented to Ewen Macpherson of Cluny and his wife, Sarah, on the occasion of their golden wedding in 1882.

      A sturdy oak springing from the heather forms the stem of the centrepiece, from which radiate nine branches. At its foot is placed a group representing one of the most striking stories in the history of the famous "Cluny of the '45".

      Sir Hector Munro -- the officer in command of the party in search of Cluny, the fugitive chief -- is mounted on his steed. He is questioning Cluny, who is disguised as a servant and who had been holding the bridle of Sir Hector's horse during the search. Cluny is asked if he knows where his master is. The reply given is "I do not know, and if I did I would not tell you." Sir Hector rewards the supposed servant for his fidelity with a silver shilling.
