In fact, if interested in stuff about the 'cage', MacPherson and Charles Edward Stuart, the book, "Bonnie Prince Charlie" by Frank McLynn is a good read. Although the very first part is the usual stuff.....about his background and the 45, most of the book follows his travels around Scotland after Culloden.
Kyle, it may interest you (if you were not already aware) that Cluny's Cage might not be where it is commonly supposed to be. This article explains. It appears to be behind a paywall, though I previously accessed it without having to register somehow.

It describes how the cage may well lie on the opposite side of Loch Ericht, and there is some old map evidence to back the claims up, as you can see in this link-

Given the time, I'd like to have a wee explore of those crags and see if I can find it.
