This book is a study of the fascinating subject of Jacobites from another perspective. It is an historical portrait, so to speak, of so many previously unknown ladies in Scotland, supported the Stuarts return to the throne, (1688—1766).

Some had exciting roles in the tumultuous political machinations at the time, working as agents, spies, and messengers, roles often shared with their fellow men. While others worked to support those who supported the Stuarts, as women in their traditional roles as wives, mothers, sisters, aunts, and friends.

Each of the ladies mentioned in this book played a vital part in contributing to the Jacobite culture and community in Scotland, having a significant impact upon ‘the Stuart Cause’.
