NOTES

First published in 1952, this book by acclaimed author Leslie Turner White is set in seventeenth-century Scotland when Cromwell tries to win over the Highlands to the Parliamentary cause. From his first battle, Davy Dugald was a marked man. Masquerading in the royal kilts of his dead master he saved the day for the soldiers of Oliver Cromwell. But Davy knew that the secret of his lowly birth and his assumed title of Ian, Lord of Lochbogie, would someday be discovered. He also dreaded the time when his fierce clansmen learned that Davy himself had killed their lord, his master. That time drew closer when Davy was sent on a secret mission into the wild mountains of Scotland. There he had to face a lifelong and deadly enemy. But there also he found the passionate woman who shared his secret...Here is a story of wenching and fighting, adventures and romance. It tells of a lovable rogue who rose from stable boy to colonel, and how his flashing sword and notorious loves made him the toast of the wild Scotch Highlands!
