Captured in May 1813, the French aristocrat Anne de Saint-Yves is held with common soldiers in Edinburgh Castle, where he falls for a Scottish girl, Flora, who visits the prisoners. A daring escape down the castle rock sends him across Scotland with drovers and down the Great North Road toward an English uncle’s fortune.
