It sounds ghastly. I cannot, cannot understand the longevity of the Walter Scott-engendered sentimental cult around Jacobitism, especially among non-British romance novelists (whose knowledge of 18C Britain, and especially Highland culture, drives me around the twist). Frankly, if someone was stupid enough to be a Jacobite, they deserved all they got.
