CULLODEN TALES (PB)

Culloden was the last battle on British soil. It marked the end of clan culture and was the harbinger of the Highland Clearances, also ensuring the inevitability of the American Revolution and the outpouring of Scots across the globe. The battlefield is a poignant location, resonant with past deeds and emotive memories, an iconic site that draws people from all parts of the world. And as they come, they bring with them their stories and their father's father's stories. The stories collected here are offered as a unique record to the power of the place and they tell of civil war, of love, of the unexpected and even of the supernatural. They are peopled by the second-sighted, by clan chiefs and by others who have kept family secrets for centuries.
