About the book

This two-volume set brings together John Prebble's dramatic histories of two of the most famous and tragic episodes in Scottish history. Glencoe examines the 1692 massacre in which members of the MacDonald clan were killed by soldiers who had been accepted into their homes, while Culloden recounts the decisive 1746 battle that destroyed the Jacobite rising of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Prebble writes with vivid narrative energy, combining political history with the human consequences of betrayal, warfare and defeat.
