Rob Roy

Within forty miles of Glasgow, Walter Scott writes, a Highland outlaw could thrive while polite society admired reason and refinement. His name was Rob Roy.

In the early eighteenth century, Frank Osbaldistone turns from his father’s business and is sent north to live among unfamiliar kin. When his cousin Rashleigh betrays the family firm, Frank follows him into the Highlands, where clan loyalties and political unrest make every step perilous. There he meets Rob Roy and the spirited Diana Vernon, and discovers that the lawless border between two worlds can be crossed at a price. With the Jacobite rising approaching, whom can Frank trust in a country where power—and justice—may belong to whoever can seize it?
