A propos de cet article

Print on Demand. This book presents the proceedings of James Stewart's trial for the murder of Colin Campbell in 1752. Stewart, commonly known as James of the Glens, was accused of conspiring with Allan Breck Stewart to assassinate Campbell, a government factor attempting to remove tenants from the forfeited estate of Ardshiel. The trial, which took place before the Circuit Court of Justiciary in Scotland, was a landmark event that shed light on the complex social and political dynamics of the Scottish Highlands during the Jacobite era. The author provides a detailed account of the proceedings, including witness testimonies, legal arguments, and the jury's verdict. Through extensive research, the book offers a nuanced examination of the evidence presented at the trial, exploring the motivations and actions of both Stewart and his alleged accomplice. It delves into the broader context of clan rivalries, government policies, and the aftermath of the Jacobite risings, providing valuable insights into the legal and historical dimensions of this infamous case. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
