Takes of the desperate struggle between the Hanoverian kings and the Jacobites, those who dedicated themselves to restoring the Stewart monarchy, resound with heroism and loyalty, savagery and double-dealing. The Highland clans sallied forth again and again in support of the Stewarts to try and turn the tide of history, and to this day stories of Jacobite risings and resistance still have power to arouse and stor blood.
In this book, veteran story-teller Stuart McHardy gathers a wide selection of the best of these tales, creating a fascinating, varies and vivid picture of the Jacobites and their commitment to their noble, and ultimately doomed, case.
Tales include: The Death of Sargeant Davies • The Gold in the Great Chanter • The Jacobite Heroine Jeannie Cameron • The Tragic Tale of Lady Grange • Prince Charlie’s Cave
