At the Battle of Killiecrankie, 27 July 1689, 3,000 Highlanders, commanded by John Graham, Lord Dundeethe Bonnie Dundee of legendsupporting the cause of the deposed king James II (James VII of Scotland), swept down a Perthshire hillside and routed a professional army twice their size, commanded by General Mackay of Scourie, hurriedly raised in support of William of Orange. At the moment of victory, Dundee was hit by a single bullet and died shortly afterwards on the battlefield. Deprived of their charismatic leader, the Jacobite army fell to looting and squabbling and was defeated three months later at Dunkeld. According to a remarkable journal, transcribed by Ross Laidlaw, this fatal shot, which changed the course of history, was fired by Aprha Behn, the Jacobean poetess and playwright, who had been sent north as a spy by Williams agents. She used an air gun, devised by Isaac Newton, which fired a silver bullet.

“Oates examines in minute detail why the Jacobite forces posed such a threat to William and Mary, Queen Anne, and George I and II.” —Books Monthly Many books have been written about the Jacobite rebellions—the armed attempts made by the Stuarts to regain the British throne between 1689 and 1746—and in particular about the risings of 1689, 1715, 1719 and 1745. The key battles have been described in graphic detail. Yet no previous book has given a comprehensive military account of the campaigns in their entirety—and that is the purpose of Jonathan Oates’s new history. For over fifty years the Jacobites posed a serious threat to the governments of William and Mary, Queen Anne and George I and II. But they were unable to follow up their victories at Killiecrankie, Prestonpans and Falkirk, and the overwhelming defeat suffered by Bonnie Prince Charlie’s army when it confronted the Duke of Cumberland’s forces at Culloden in 1746 was decisive. The author uses vivid eyewitness testimony and contemporary sources, as well as the latest archaeological evidence, to trace the course of the conflict, and offers an absorbing insight into the makeup of the opposing sides, their leadership, their troops and the strategy and tactics they employed. His distinctive approach gives the reader a long perspective on a conflict which is often viewed more narrowly in terms of famous episodes and the careers of the leading men. “A novel and rewarding approach in providing a comprehensive account of the Jacobite rebellions. This is a story of a family torn apart by religion and entitlement. Highly Recommended.” —Firetrench

In 1779, driven out of his home, Calum MacDonald sets sail from the Scottish Highlands with his extensive family. After a long, terrible journey he settles his family in 'the land of trees', and eventually they become a separate Nova Scotian clan: red-haired and black-eyed, with its own identity, its own history. It is the 1980s by the time our narrator, Alexander MacDonald, tells the story of his family, a thrilling and passionate story that intersects with history: with Culloden, where the clans died, and with the 1759 battle at Quebec that was won when General Wolfe sent in the fierce Highlanders because it was 'no great mischief if they fall'.
