Dismissing the chance of a ship to France and safety, he chooses to remain in Scotland, but the stakes are high. Lying low in Glen Esk, close to his family home, he is made welcome by the people, but word of his presence reaches the ear of the local minister who calls in the Argyll Highlanders, Campbells, to hunt him down. With only his wits and the loyalty of his friends elusive to rely on, it can only be a matter of time before he is. His life is on the line and his pursuers are closing in. Firmly based on historical fact and the true events that shaped this little-known episode from Scotland's history, John Angus brings the tale of 'The Rebel Laird' to life with a cast of well-drawn characters and a great sense of place, portraying how even the quietest corners of the country were affected in the aftermath of the rebellion."
