What it's about
In 1751 the orphan David Balfour is cheated by his miserly uncle and shipped off to be sold into service, then thrown together with the Jacobite Alan Breck Stewart. The two flee across the Scottish Highlands after a real-life political murder, the Appin killing. An adventure and a study of an unlikely friendship between a careful Lowland Whig and a proud Highland rebel.
