At the beginning of the eighteenth century, one of the most exciting and romantic periods of British history, the famous Rob Roy MacGregor and his gallant nephew Gregor, a fierce young Highlander loyal to the cause, led the MacGregor clan into battle against the English Army.
Outlawed and landless, they still clung to Glengyle, one small remaining corner of their ancient territories, and held fast in their loyalty to the Stuart King over the water. But in the midst of the political struggle young Gregor still managed to find time to pay court to Mary Hamilton, a lovely girl who at first rejected his rough Highland ways...

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Some shelf rubbing to title along spine but otherwise clean, tight copy with age tanned pages. The first of three stirring novels about Rob Roy and the MacGregor clan. This was the time when the famous Rob Roy MacGregor and his swaggering nephew Gregor led the landless clan of the MacGregors. Their very name was proscribed and outlawed, but they still clung to Glengyle, one small remaining corner of their ancient territories, and held fast in their loyalty to the King over the water. Both Rob Roy and his nephew opposed the plan to unite the English and Scottish Parliaments, a scheme that would send any self respecting MacGregor reaching for his dirk. But in the midst of the political struggle young Gregor still managed to find time to pay court to Mary Hamilton, a lovely girl from the Lowlands who at first rejected his rough Highland ways . . .
