About this book

The Jacobite movement was responsible for the '45 Uprising, one of the most decisive times in Scottish history. The suffering following the battle of Culloden in 1746 still evokes emotion.
Less well known of is his return to London in 1750 incognito. It was there he converted to Protestantism. He was often unwelcome in Europe after the failure of the uprising and came to hate any mention of Scotland and his lost chance.
In this book, follow the route taken by Charles' forces on their doomed march and discover the story behind the places and landscapes of his life.
