Description

Alistair Moffat's twelve journeys take him to the heart of Scotland's turbulent history, exploring places of conflict and recreating the tumult of battle. From the 16th-century colonisation of Lewis to the great battles of the 18th century, including Killiekrankie, Dunkeld, Sheriffmuir, Falkirk and Culloden, Moffat delves into the lives, language and culture of the Highland clans.

As he walks in the footsteps of these clans, Moffat recounts their military prowess alongside their stories of struggle and survival. The disaster at Culloden in 1746 had far-reaching consequences, unleashing merciless retribution from the British government that would forever change the Highlands. Moffat's unique exploration reveals the complex history behind some of Scotland's most pivotal events.

Join Moffat on his journeys to Prestonpans, Glenfinnan, The Isle of Lewis, Edinburgh, Inverlochy, Tippermuir, Mulroy, Killiecrankie, Dunkeld, Sherriffmuir, Falkirk, Culloden Moor and Arisaig & Morar as he uncovers the shadows of Scotland's clans.
