Full Description


The Jacobite Rising of 1745 is one of the most famous and emotive in our history. It is also one of the most misunderstood. The Myth of the Jacobite Clans exposes the depth of myth and misrepresentation from which Scotland and the Jacobite cause have suffered over the last 250 years. Award-winning author Murray Pittock demonstrates that British history has marginalised the facts about Jacobitism because they threatened long-standing views of a unified Britain. Offering extensive detail of town-by-town recruitment to Bonnie Prince Charlie's army, his challenging book reveals that, far from being a Catholic and Highland dynastic rebellion, the '45 had the dimensions of a national rising. And as the account unfolds, a lost history is uncovered, and with it a lost Scotland.
