The second battle, the Battle of Prestonpans, occurred in 1745 during the Jacobite Rising and resulted in a victory for the Jacobite forces led by Bonnie Prince Charlie.The book also includes a selection of Lumsden's other poems, both new and old, that explore themes of Scottish history, culture, and identity.
