Afore the Highlands: the Jacobites in Perth 1715-16

Kathleen Lyle, BSc 1966

For a few months in 1715-16, when it was occupied by Jacobite forces, Perth was at a focal point of British and European history. Despite its importance, this is a part of the city's past that has been largely forgotten. This book brings together research from a wide range of sources to shed light on a key moment in a turbulent period of Scottish history.
