The history of early Jacobite times in North East Scotland is thrilling and epic. And should you think everything has been written about the Jacobites: No, not what is in this book. Something astounding happened here. In a region distinct in religion and thought, the early European Enlightenment had taken hold. And many became Jacobites when their way of life was threatened. Take, for example, Lady Anne Drummond, Countess of Erroll, who contributed to a famous book of the Enlightenment. She also ran military intelligence for the Scottish Jacobites from Slains Castle... What was said about Mike's earlier books: 'Shepherd tells an extraordinary story in plain words... the result is a rattling good yarn'. Scottish Review of Books. 'Mike Shepherd's work has been hard to put down'. Press and Journal.
