The Patriot

Nigel Tranter

In 1678 Scotland liesunder the dark threat of union with England.

In an era of intrigue and bloodshed Andrew Fletcher laird of Saltoun stands out as a man of ideals and integrity. His fearless and dogged opposition to the Treaty becomes a thirty-year campaign fought in Europe as well as his native Scotland. His eventual defeat is the defeat of a hero and of a cause so dear to his people that his name is glorified in Scottish history.
