The future of Scotland was in the balance. The country could be ruled by a foreign King or the people could fight for justice, equality and their own future. Bonnie Prince Charlie arrived from France in 1745, just as his father had thirty years before. This time Scotland hoped for a better outcome.
James Legg was young, tall and very handsome. He had seen little of the world outside his village and the town of Montrose which lay across the river. He was a fisherman by trade, but once the call came to join the rebellion in 1715 he recklessly rushed to join. He had no idea what lay ahead and if he had would he have changed his mind. James would have a major part to play and through his endeavours his family would suffer as would most of Scotland.
