Book excerpt: In August 1644, at the height of the First English Civil War, John Graham, the Marquis of Montrose, raised the standard of Royalist rebellion in Scotland. In a single year he won a string of remarkable victories with his army of Irish mercenaries and Highland clansmen. His victory at Auldearn, the centrepiece of his campaign, was won only after a day-long struggle and heavy casualties on both sides. This book details the remarkable sequence of victories at Tippermuir, Aberdeen, Inverlochy, Auldearn and Kilsyth that left Montrose briefly in the ascendant in Scotland. However, his decisive defeat and surrender at Philiphaugh finally crushed the Royalist cause in Scotland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Marquis of Montrose The story of the Troubles in Scotland has attracted less attention than the history of the Civil War in England, partly because the con ict was on a smaller scale, but still more, perhaps, because the Scottish leaders were, on the whole, far less interesting than the distinguished men who came to the front on both sides in the southern portion of the island. The names of Strafford and Laud, of Pym, Hampden and Cromwell, are familiar to us as household words, and the innate force of character, the clearly defined aims of each and all of them, excite the interest, even when they do not enlist the sympathy of all readers. Scotland was deeply involved, and even led the way in the civil strife, yet it cannot be denied that, north of the Tweed, the great crisis called forth few men of striking eminence. One man Scotland did produce whose claim to be called great cannot well be disputed, and that man was Montrose the great Marquis of Scottish history. He was recog nised in his own day as one of the most illustrious persons of the age in which he lived, and Cardinal de Retz saw in his greatness of soul a revival of the Spirit of the old classic heroes. But he whom Carlyle has called the Hero Cavalier was quickly forgotten in the very unheroic age which set in with the Restoration, and later on, the Whig historians of the earlier half of the nineteenth century still further obscured his fame by reproducing for their readers, as a portrait of Montrose, the false and distorted caricature which had been drawn of him by his bitter and unscrupulous enemies, Argyll, Archibald Johnston and Lauderdale.

Download or read book The Rivals written by Murdo Fraser and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The struggles of the Scottish Civil War of 1644-45 could easily be personified as a contest between James Graham, 1st Marquis of Montrose and Archibald Campbell, 8th Marquis of Argyll. Yet at first glance there seems to be more that unites them than separates them. Both came from ancient and powerful families; both were originally Covenanters; both considered themselves loyal subjects of Charles I, then Charles II, who in turn betrayed each of them, and both died at the hands of the executioner. In this book Murdo Fraser examines these two remarkable men, underlining their different personalities: Montrose, the brilliant military tactician - bold and brave but rash, and Campbell - altogether a more opaque figure, cautious, considered and difficult to read. The result is a vivid insight into two remarkable men who played a huge part in writing Scotland's history, and a fascinating portrait of a time of intense political upheaval.

Book Synopsis The Hunt for Rob Roy by : David Stevenson
Download or read book The Hunt for Rob Roy written by David Stevenson and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first time that Rob Roy's life has been written with a full range of sources. The picture that emerges is indeed striking, but not heroic. A man deeply wronged and oppressed, forced into outlawry, has to be modified by the clear evidence that he was only outlawed after undertaking a careful plan to swindle his creditors. With this book Scotland may lose a hero of the old-fashioned and unreal sort, but it possesses a Rob Roy whose life-story emerges as one that was dramatic and certainly more human. This radical revision of popular views on Rob Roy is based on much recently discovered material and is the first new biography for thirty years.
