Description

For the first time, Bonnie Prince Charlie's arduous escape of 1746 has been recreated in a single journey.

The author, along with his faithful border collie Meg, retraces the Prince's epic 530 mile walk through remote wilderness, hidden glens, modern day roads and uninhabited islands.

Gregor Ewing tells the Prince's story alongside the trials of his own present day journey, whilst reflecting on the plight of the highlanders who, despite everything, loyally protected their rightful prince.

The author's love of history and the landscape in which he travels shines through in this modern day adventure.

One of the strengths of this man and dog travelogue is the neat way it stitches together history with the writer's personal journey.

The balance is perfect. TONY POLLARD
