'MacGregor's Gathering', 'The Clansman' and 'Gold For Prince Charlie'
The stirring 18th century story of Rob Roy and the MacGregor clan, loyal supporters of the Stuart cause and their struggle to survive. From 1706 to 1745 in this absorbing trilogy Nigel Tranter charts the fascinating story of the famous Rob Roy MacGregor and his gallant nephew Gregor, fierce opponents of their rulers' plan to unite the English and Scottish Parliaments. Outlawed and landless, they clung to Glengyle, the one small remaining corner of their ancient territories, and held fast in their loyalty to the Stuart King over the water.
In 1715, declared an outlaw by the Secretary of State, the Duke of Montrose, and the Duke of Cumberland, Rob Roy left home and clansmen to avoid bringing disaster upon them. In his absence, Montrose's factor come to his home, attacking his wife, proud Mary MacGregor, frightening his children and setting fire to Inversnaid House. For which Rob Boy exacted a terrible revenge.
Rob Roy's fierce adherence to the Stuart cause was to be continued by his great-nephew Duncan MacGregor, who joined the small band of men escorting Bonnie Prince Charlie to safety after the bitter defeat at Culloden in 1745.
