Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a historic poem set against the backdrop of the 1745 Jacobite Rising. The author draws inspiration from historical figures from the period, including rebels such as the Earl of Mar and Jacobite general the Duke of Montrose and his nemesis Archibald Campbell, Duke of Argyll, the leader of the government forces. The author highlights the oppressive feudal system in 18th century Scotland that impoverished and displaced the Highland population and the part this played in driving support for the Jacobite cause. Having suffered greatly at the hands of the government, the Highlanders rallied around the Jacobite standard in the hope of reversing the social and economic changes that had blighted their lives and restore their traditional way of life. The book explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the enduring power of the human spirit in the face of adversity. This book offers a unique insight into the Jacobite cause and the social and economic factors that fuelled its support in the Scottish Highlands.
