Story of Ranald

by Griselda Gifford, Edward Gage (Illustrator)

After the battle of Culloden, Ranald Macdonald and his family are forced to flee their homes to escape the barbarities of the cruel English soldiers under the command of ‘Butcher Cumberland’.

With his father held prisoner in Carlisle, Ranald finds his former life, as a carefree young boy, must change if he is to protect and assist his womenfolk in their perilous quest for freedom.

This is a true story based on Ranald’s own account written in 1749, two years after his escape. It gives a rare insight into how it must have been to leave a beloved home and country as a fugitive never to return.
