Journey into the rugged Scottish Highlands where the law of the clan clashes with the encroaching civilization of the south. The protagonist, an Englishman banished to the north, finds himself entangled with the legendary outlaw and folk hero who gives the book its name. Against a backdrop of the Jacobite rising of 1715, the novel explores themes of historical change, economic progress, and the romantic allure of a vanishing way of life. It is a spirited adventure that balances political realism with the mythic power of the wild landscape.
