Synopsis For too long, this period of Scottish history has been romanticised with the exploits of Bonnie Prince Charlie to the fore. Dane Love's personal interest in his ancestors has made him research the lives of ordinary men and women who lived, fought and died during this period and the result is a highly readable account of the Jacobite era. All the main characters and events are here along with lesser known people who were nevertheless just as involved in the upheaval in Great Britain at that time. There are over 40 stories covering a 70 year period between the 1680's and the 1750's with the defeat at Culloden and the aftermath of that battle concluding the book. About the Author Dane Love is from Ayrshire and works as a schoolteacher at Irvine Royal Academy. He is the author of several works on Scottish history and has back his roots to Robin Love who fought for Bonnie Prince Charlie at Prestonpans and Culloden.

A great intro to the Jacobite period
Nice overview of the entire Jacobite period. Obviously it's not going to cover everything in great detail, but it's a great intro with lots of interesting and less commonly known stories from the period, which should give you a basis to launch into a more detailed inquiry of the area of Jacobite history that interests you most.
