An essential read for fans of Outlander During the first half of the eighteenth century, Bonnie Prince Charlie and his diehard supporters – the Jacobites – almost changed the course of British history. Their attempts to drive out the house of Hanover and restore the Stuarts to the British throne is one of the great epics of history. In this book, acclaimed storyteller Stuart McHardy retells over forty Jacobite stories which date back to the time of the prince himself and his bitter defeat at the Battle of Culloden. Featuring the exploits of real people and actual events, and including tales of love, loyalty, bravery and treachery, The White Cockade opens a window into a remarkable world and features a huge cast of colourful characters.

Many of the stories that survive from the period when the Jacobites threatened to overturn the British Government and reinstall the Stuart Dynasty are tales of great daring heroism and loyalty set against venal double-dealing and treachery. Others reflect the ancient tribal practices of the Highland clans, where rivalry and raiding were more important than political loyalty. In this book Stuart McHardy gathers a wide selection of the best of these tales, creating and insightful and vivid picture of Jacobean life.

Excerpt from The White Cockade: Or Faith and Fortitude In my former novel, 'The King's Own Bordorers, ' I endeavoured, in the characters of Lord and Lady Rohallion, to depict Jacobitism in its decline, or rather when it had become identified only with the senility and weakness of enthusiastic old age; but in the following story I have sought to pourtray it in the zenith of its strength, and before it had degenerated into mere sentimental loyalty to a race of dead monarchs - of all loyalty perhaps the most pure and unselfish. In the progress of my tale, I have had to introduce several points of local history, a branch of study which, I am sorry to say, is now usually the last element thought of in Scottish popular education. Scotsmen, and Englishmen too, have long since learned the value of that treaty, which made them equally subjects of a vast united empire, on whose flag the sun never sets; but Sir Baldred Otterburn will represent a numerous class, who existed even until after the beginning of the present century, and who bitterly resented the Act of Union. 'The English adherents of the Stuarts had nothing to say against it, ' says a recent writer; 'but the Scottish Jacobites could scarcely find words sufficiently strong to express their hatred and horror of a measure which, to their excited patriotism, seemed to be the consummation of all ruin and disgrace, and the utter annihilation of Scotland as a free and independent country;' and singularly enough, a bill for its total repeal in June, 1713, was only lost by a majority of three in the House of Lords.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
