Stirring ballads of Scotland’s lost causes, each introduced with a historical note. Edinburgh mourns after the disaster of Flodden, Montrose goes to his execution with dignity, Douglas carries the heart of Robert the Bruce into battle against the Moors, and the cavaliers of Dundee march to his burial. Further poems follow the main lays.

Romantic Victorian balladry for lovers of Scott, Macaulay and Scottish history. Download the free EPUB.
