Summary:
Young David Balfour goes to seek help from his villainous uncle Ebenezer after his father's death leaves him penniless. Rather than relinquish his ill-gotten control of the Balfour estate, Ebenezer has David kidnapped on a ship bound for the Carolinas, where he meets the plucky Alan Breck. After their ship in wrecked on the coast of Mull, David and Alan witness the murder of king's officer Colin Campbell, and become prime suspects themselves, forcing them to flee across the Highlands.
This romantic tale of treachery and peril, centred around the true story of the murder of Colin Campbell, the "Red Fox of Glenure", is steeped in the atmosphere of 18th-century Scotland. The hair-raising adventures of the respectable Lowlander Balfour and rebellious Highlander Breck make compulsive reading.
