内容説明

Published to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Culloden, which ended the Stuart dynasty's final attempt to reclaim the British throne, this book presents two new primary sources of evidence - one verbal and one visual. The "Journal of John Maclean" is a first-hand account of the experiences of an officer of Prince Charles Edward's army from Glenfinnan in August 1745, through Prestonpans and the taking of Edinburgh, the march into England to Derby, the withdrawal to Scotland and the final retreat to Drummossie Moor near Inverness, where the author was killed in the Battle of Culloden. A series of newly-discovered drawings from the Clerk Collection at Penicuik House offers a view of the participants on both sides of the 'Forty-Five: a rising for some, for others a rebellion.
