Book excerpt: Her name is immortalised because of her part in the escape of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, 'Bonnie Prince Charlie', in 1746, but little is known about the rest of her life. Ruairidh H. MacLeod draws on original, unpublished material in Britain and North America to give a full account of one of the most romantic figures in Scottish history. She was no shy young girl, but a resolute woman of 24 who played a courageous part in rescuing the Prince from his enemies. When arrested, she did all she could to protect others who helped the Prince escape, and displayed a maturity that astonished her admirers and won her many friends.
