Gold for Prince Charlie
In 1745 the Highlanders limped away from the bitter field of Culloden. Soon the Duke of Cumberland was offering a huge sum for the capture of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, dead or alive. Duncan MacGregor, great-nephew of Rob Roy, volunteers to join the small band of men escorting the Prince to safety. Just one day after the Prince’s escape, a large amount of French gold is landed at the very spot from which he has sailed. Thus it is that Duncan becomes involved in a desperate attempt to save Prince Charlie’s gold, helped by beautiful, headstrong Caroline Cameron. ‘Through his imaginative dialogue, he provides a voice for Scotland’s heroes’ Scotland on Sunday
