Synopsis

Shortlisted for The Winston Graham Historical Fiction Prize and The Highland Book Prize

A battle lost. A daring escape. A long walk into obscurity. The ultimate failure . . .

In the aftermath of the disastrous Battle of Culloden, a lonely figure takes flight with a small band of companions through the islands and mountains of the Hebrides. His name is Charles Edward Stuart: better known today as Bonnie Prince Charlie. He had come to the country to take the throne. Now he is leaving in exile and abject defeat.

In prose that is by turns poetic, comic, macabre, haunting, and humane, multi- award-winning author Alan Warner traces the frantic last journey through Scotland of a man who history will come to define for his failure.

Goodreads review by Andy on August 11, 2023

This is third in a tremendous series of fictionalised Scottish histories, Darkland Tales, and concerns the flight of the Young Pretender, Charles Edward Stewart, from Culloden. The first in the series was also exceptional, Denise Mina’s Rizzio, which reimagined the murder of the ill-fated advisor to......more
