A Bird on the Wing

Retracing the steps of the fugitive Prince Charles Edward Stuart - Bonnie Prince Charlie - after his defeat at Culloden, this book offers insights into highland life and clan history. The author walked the hillsides and glens of the Highlands and sailed to Skye and the Outer Hebrides in following the route of the Prince's five-month flight, which was characterized by narrow escapes, hunger, fatigue and dependence on the loyalty of strangers.
