Synopsis

Plot

The year is 1751, some 25 years after the Battle of Culloden and there is still a very strong feeling of passion for "BONNIE PRINCE CHARLIE" in the Highlands. However, having lived all your life in the lowlands, you know nothing about such fanaticism and even less about the "politics" that brought it on in the first place. You do recall your
parents talking about the "Jacobites" and recalling the times when the clans gathered under one banner, but such things hold no real interest for you and are easily flushed
from your mind.

You are DAVID BALFOUR, a young lad recently orphaned and resolved to seeking your fame and fortune in other places. Though the exact location of either is not something that you are currently aware of. However, you have promised to call in on Mr. CAMPBELL, the local minister, before you leave and to say your last farewells to him ................
