On the Trail of the Jacobites

by Ian Whyte, Kathleen Whyte

Focusing on the main manoeuvres that took place in Scotland and England between the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the Battle of Culloden in 1746, the authors provide a detailed chronological narrative of places, people and battles. Many of the sites associated with the Jacobites have not changed greatly in the last two centuries, and a visit to the places concerned can bring the period and its people vividly to life. As the authors follow the trail of the Jacobites, they describe, with the help of a variety of photographs and many specially drawn maps, what remains to be seen today, from caves to castles, mansions to military roads, and towns to tombstones.
