Synopsis

This is the story of ordinary men and women involved in the Jacobite Rising of 1745, who were described on the gaol registers and regimental rosters of the time as 'Common Men'. The detail comes from regimental Order Books and manuals, from the letters and memoirs of soldiers and officers, and the personal stories of the victims themselves. Culloden is the story not of a Prince, but of a people.
