With horrible tales involving Mary, Queen of Scots, James VI and Bonnie Prince Charlie, as well as the execution of the Marquis of Montrose--and the story of his stolen heart--only the bravest of readers should open it. Containing riots, murders, severed heads, sieges, and the bull's head that sparked a clan massacre, read it if you dare!
