The Last Highlander: Scotland’s Most Notorious Clan Chief, Rebel & Double Agent

We tend to think that we’ve cornered the market on spy stories, but this 18th century swashbuckler will convince you otherwise.  Simon Fraser was the last of the great Scottish chiefs, and the last Scottish nobleman executed for treason.  Using his talents to spy for both the Stuarts and the Hanoverians, Fraser was present when Bonny Prince Charlie was defeated at the Battle of Culloden…in fact he was found hiding in a tree. 

This is the story of one of Scotland’s most romantic and dashing figures…and it will make for a pleasant afternoon on the porch swing with a glass of sweet tea.
