About the Ebook
On the Trail of Bonnie Prince Charlie is the story of the Young Pretender. Born in Italy, grandson of James VII, at a time when the German house of Hanover was on the throne, his father was regarded by many as the rightful king. Bonnie Prince Charlie's campaign to retake the throne in his father's name changed the fate of Scotland. The Jacobite movement was responsible for the '45 Uprising, one of the most decisive times in Scottish history. The suffering following the battle of Culloden in 1746 still evokes emotion. Less well known is his return to London in 1750 incognito. It was there he converted to Protestantism. He was often unwelcome in Europe after the failure of the uprising and came to hate any mention of Scotland and his lost chance. In this book, follow the route taken by Charles' forces on their doomed march and discover the story behind the places and landscapes of his life. 79 places to visit in Scotland and England. One general map and four location maps. Prestonpans, Clifton, Falkirk and Culloden battle plans. Simplified family tree. Rarely seen illustrations.
