Book Description
"Early one September morning in 1745, Edinburgh's city gates were stormed by Prince Charles Edward Stuart's Highland Army. For the next six weeks the City lay under Jacobite occupation, the Prince holding court at Holyrood Palace. Here is the story of that interlude as told by those who were there. This is a dramatic story with the Prince's bloody victory at the Battle of Prestonpans and the inside story of the stormy debates at Holyrood that preceded the march into England which the Prince so desperately wanted. It has its humorous side too, as Highlands met Lowlands on the streets of the old town"--Back cover.
