In twelve journeys he explores places of conflict, recreating as he walks the tumult of battle. As he recounts the military prowess of the clans - surely the most feared fighting men in western Europe - he also speaks of their lives, their language and culture before it was all swept away. The disaster at Culloden in 1746 represented not just the defeat of the Jacobite dream but also the unleashing of merciless retribution from the British government which dealt the Highland clans a blow from which they would never recover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the colonisers who attempted to 'civilise' the islanders of Lewis in the sixteenth century through the great battles of the eighteenth century - Killiekrankie, Dunkeld, Sheriffmuir, Falkirk and Culloden - this is a unique exploration of many of the places and events which define a country's history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocations included are: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrestonpans - Glenfinnan - The Isle of Lewis - Edinburgh - Inverlochy - Tippermuir - Mulroy - Killiecrankie - Dunkeld - Sherriffmuir - Falkirk - Culloden Moor - Arisaig \u0026amp; Morar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Birlinn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780278247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304","brand":"Alistair Moffat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43150394720437,"sku":"9781780278247","price":24.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_83f79444-976d-4b68-9db0-5841799baa30.jpg?v=1696347411","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/war-paths-walking-in-the-shadows-of-the-clans-9781780278247","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
