The book examines the cultural identity of the 'Children of the Mist' and the resilience shown in the face of legal and military persecution. By blending historical research with a deep understanding of the Highland landscape, 'The Arrow of Glenlyon' presents a vivid portrait of a leader caught between ancient traditions and a changing political world.
