Gold for Prince Charlie

Nigel Tranter

In 1745 the Highlanders limped away from the bitter field of Culloden. Soon the Duke of Cumberland was offering a huge sum for the capture of Prince Charles Edward Stuart dead or alive.

Duncan MacGregor great-nephew of Rob Roy volunteers to join the small band of men escorting the Prince to safety.

Just one day after the Prince's escape a large amount of French gold is landed at the very spot from which he has sailed. Thus it is that Duncan becomes involved in a desperate attempt to save Prince Charlie's gold helped by beautiful headstrong Caroline Cameron.
