Présentation de l'éditeur
Scotland, from Culloden in the north to Flodden in the south. In the following pages I have endeavoured to tell the story of the national struggles associated for all time with these historic spots. They are charged with memories fascinating to theS cotsman, and to all who love to wander over the storied mountains and moorlands and glens of our country. The broad features of the canvas are, doubtless, tolerably familiar. However, around these scenes of ancient strife there has gathered a wonderful atmosphere of legend, tradition, romance, and song, material not generally accessible, and widely scattered. I have tried to bring this scattered lore together so as to afford a connected and picturesque view of what may be called international warfare fromM ons Grampius to Culloden. At the same time, while fulfilling the original purpose of clothing the dry bones of history with the subtly attractive garb of romance, I have aimed at strict accuracy of detail in developing the work, in the hope that the volume will be of interest to the serious student equally with the general reader.
