Dr Arran Johnston, Scottish Battlefields Trust
Drawing on the material in Arran’s new book, The Battles of Bonnie Prince Charlie, this talk will present a refreshing portrait of a capable and engaged leader struggling to wage a war in the face of incredible odds, fractious subordinates, and his own inexperience. It will take us across the battlefields of Prestonpans, Falkirk and Culloden, challenging perceptions of the prince through the evidence of those who served alongside him.
