In the Scottish Highlands, a wrong word can cost a life—and love cannot escape the claims of loyalty.
William MacLeod Raine’s A Daughter of Raasay sets a love story against the Jacobite rising of 1745. Charles Edward Stuart, known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, gathers clansmen in a bid to restore the Stuart family to the British throne. As war divides clans, families and friends, choosing a side carries a price that reaches into the heart.
The setting stretches through Highland islands and glens, with Raasay lying off Scotland’s western coast near Skye. Here, loyalty to a prince pulls against love, while betrayal threatens trust. Raine keeps the adventure moving with brisk action and clear emotion. The rough beauty of the landscape frames a world where private feelings and public loyalties cannot stay apart.

A Daughter of Raasay is a historical romance by William MacLeod Raine, published in 1902.

From the 15-minute summary · Key idea 1
A Highland world on the edge of war
The story belongs to the Scotland of the mid eighteenth century. Raasay is a long, narrow island off the western coast, lying close to Skye. Its people lived by the old Highland order, in which the clan chief held great authority and loyalty to kin came before almost everything else.
That world was already under strain. The Stuart kings had been driven out in 1688, and their supporters, called Jacobites after the Latin name for James, still hoped to bring them back. Many Highland clans kept that hope alive, though not all of them, and not every family inside a clan agreed.
