| Summary | "Legendary Tales of the Highlands (Volume 3 of 3)" by Sir Thomas Dick Lauder is a historical fiction work written in the early 19th century. This volume serves as a continuation of tales deeply rooted in Scottish history and folklore, focusing on characters and events that reflect the life, struggles, and culture of the Highlands during a time of political upheaval and conflict, specifically the Jacobite risings. The opening portion introduces readers to the character of Mr. MacArthur, a spirited farmer in Nairnshire during the mid-18th century, and his English wife, the Pensassenach, who faces hostility from the Jacobite supporters due to her loyalist views. We see a tense atmosphere develop as news emerges of the advancing English army led by the Duke of Cumberland, which brings both excitement and fear to their household. The Pensassenach’s fierce loyalty to the Crown ignites tensions, particularly with their servant John Smith, a Highlander who harbors his own allegiances. This dramatic setup hints at themes of loyalty, identity, and conflict, setting the stage for a broader narrative rich in adventure and legendary figures of Scottish lore.
