description: Many of the stories that survive from the period when the Jacobites threatened to overturn the British Government and reinstall the Stuart Dynasty are tales of great daring heroism and loyalty set against venal double-dealing and treachery. Others reflect the ancient tribal practices of the Highland clans, where rivalry and raiding were more important than political loyalty. In this book Stuart McHardy gathers a wide selection of the best of these tales, creating and insightful and vivid picture of Jacobean life. Tales include: The Death of Sargeant Davies ? The Gold in the Great Chanter ? The Jacobite Heroine Jeannie Cameron ? The Tragic Tale of Lady Grange ? Prince Charlie's Cave
