The Macgregor Escape and Jacobite Trials Chronicle
James Macgregor departs within Scotland after the Culloden defeat, survives by disguise and stealth, aided by his daughter and allies, and later seeks a pardon through significant letters to Prince Charles and others. He recounts escape from Edinburgh, travels via Cumberland, encounters old friends, and describes the 1745 to 1754 Jacobite trials and conspiracies involving Allan Breck Stewart and clan politics.
