Download or read book The Rivals written by Murdo Fraser and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The struggles of the Scottish Civil War of 1644-45 could easily be personified as a contest between James Graham, 1st Marquis of Montrose and Archibald Campbell, 8th Marquis of Argyll. Yet at first glance there seems to be more that unites them than separates them. Both came from ancient and powerful families; both were originally Covenanters; both considered themselves loyal subjects of Charles I, then Charles II, who in turn betrayed each of them, and both died at the hands of the executioner. In this book Murdo Fraser examines these two remarkable men, underlining their different personalities: Montrose, the brilliant military tactician - bold and brave but rash, and Campbell - altogether a more opaque figure, cautious, considered and difficult to read. The result is a vivid insight into two remarkable men who played a huge part in writing Scotland's history, and a fascinating portrait of a time of intense political upheaval.
Download or read book The Hunt for Rob Roy written by David Stevenson and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first time that Rob Roy's life has been written with a full range of sources. The picture that emerges is indeed striking, but not heroic. A man deeply wronged and oppressed, forced into outlawry, has to be modified by the clear evidence that he was only outlawed after undertaking a careful plan to swindle his creditors. With this book Scotland may lose a hero of the old-fashioned and unreal sort, but it possesses a Rob Roy whose life-story emerges as one that was dramatic and certainly more human. This radical revision of popular views on Rob Roy is based on much recently discovered material and is the first new biography for thirty years.
Download or read book Auldearn 1645 written by Stuart Reid and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-20 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 1644, at the height of the First English Civil War, John Graham, the Marquis of Montrose, raised the standard of Royalist rebellion in Scotland. In a single year he won a string of remarkable victories with his army of Irish mercenaries and Highland clansmen. His victory at Auldearn, the centrepiece of his campaign, was won only after a day-long struggle and heavy casualties on both sides. This book details the remarkable sequence of victories at Tippermuir, Aberdeen, Inverlochy, Auldearn and Kilsyth that left Montrose briefly in the ascendant in Scotland. However, his decisive defeat and surrender at Philiphaugh finally crushed the Royalist cause in Scotland.

Excerpt: ... compliances with evil courses, or have kept their integrity without swerving; yet it shall be the wisdom of all within the land, to guard their hearts by prayer and supplication, and to arm themselves with the strength of the Lord against defection. Experience hath proven throughout all the tract of the work of God, that many hath fallen off from day to day, and that new trials have produced new discoveries of the hollowness of the hearts of some, concerning whom many did promise to themselves better things. None can be stedfast in the covenant but these whose hearts are right with God. We wish, therefore, every man to search and try his ways, and as to repent of all his former provocations, so, in the strength of the Mediator, Jesus Christ, to study to walk with God, and to order his conversation aright; then may we be confident that the Lord shall establish us, and that no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper, and that every tongue that riseth against us in judgment we shall condemn. A. Ker. No. XXI. Edinburgh, January 24, 1650. A Declaration of the Committee of Estates of the Parliament of Scotland, in vindication of their proceedings from the aspersions of a scandalous Pamphlet, published by that excommunicate Traitor, James Graham, under the title of A Declaration of James Marquis of Montrose. It may seem strange to such as know the state of af. fairs in this kingdom, that we should think it worth the while to answer the slanders and groundless reproaches of that viperous brood of Satan, James Graham, whom the estates of parliament have long since declared traitor, the church hath delivered into the hands of the devil, and the nation doth generally detest and abhor; since we know there hath been, and will be in all ages, a...
