Overview

This book, written 250 years after Charles Edward Stuart first set foot on Scottish soil, reviews the vents of Bliadhna Thierlaich (Charlie's Year) and provides an objective and dispassionate account of the 1745 rising. The reasons, successes and tragedies are all traced through a variety of manuscripts, illustrations and printed sources, many of which are located in the National Library of Scotland and are reproduced here for the first time.
