Review:
"Prebble describes this almost forgotten episode as a raw cross-section of human aspirations for freedom, noble in its inception, foolish, petty and shocking in its end... Prebble's canvas is immense, his characterisations excellently drawn" (Publisher's Weekly)

"This is a welcome and long-overdue reissue of the late John Prebble's 1968 classic about Scotland's disastrous venture into creation of a trading colony... His writing is as compelling as are the salutary incidents he relates" (Kirkus Reviews)
Book Description:
One of the most important events in Scotland's history, which contributed directly to the 1707 Act of Union with England.
