Description

This young people’s guide to the Battle of Prestonpans and its role in the 1745 Jacobite rising was written by Stuart McHardy, a well-known writer, storyteller and history lecturer with many books and articles to his name.

Its creation formed part of a project, funded by the National Lottery’s Awards for All scheme, to bring the story of the battle to children and young people. This has also included a programme of schools visits where storytelling, weapons demonstrations and miniature battle gaming are bringing the battle to life.
