The Gentle Lochiel: The Cameron Chief and Bonnie Prince Charlie (Scots' Lives)

Bonnie Prince Charlie said: 'Lochiel ...my father often told me, was our firmest friend.' Donald Cameron of Lochiel, a central mover in the last Jacobite uprising, has remained a shadowy figure. With new source material, John Gibson reveals a man who was held in high esteem by both Jacobite and adversary alike. He brings into the spotlight the 'gentle' Lochiel, emphasising the French connection and reliving the incidents - on and off the field - which led to his enduring reputation as the most influential and honourable of highland chiefs.
