Publisher's Summary
It is 1745, and the Jacobite rebellion is on the rise.
Ewen Cameron, a principled young Scottish Highlander, is destined and honoured to serve Bonnie Prince Charlie, the young Pretender, and to help the 'rightful King' ascend to the British throne.
Major Keith Windham is a career soldier with the English Army - seemingly the antithesis of Ewen. He is jaded, worldly and loyal to the Crown but, ultimately, an outsider.
Their fates are linked inextricably when a highland prophecy tells Ewen that the flight of a heron will predict five meetings with an Englishman who will cause him much harm but also render a great service.
Ewen is sceptical, but the prophecy proves true when he meets Englishman Keith Windham - and a gripping tale of adventure, danger and true and lasting friendship is set into motion.
Both are men who are willing to die for their honour and their beliefs. Each is on an opposing side. But who will emerge the victor?
With action, historical adventure and lyrical descriptions of the Scottish Highlands, The Flight of the Heron is sure to appeal to fans of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series and Peter May’s Lewis trilogy.

Wonderful story
I first read this book when I was about 13 years old, over 40 years ago! It captured me then and now. A cracking yarn about honour, loyalty, love and friendship. The narration is brilliant, the accents perfect.

Unexpected Gold
Wonderfully narrated by Peter Forbes, this book took me back to the many places my father had hiked and climbed as a young man in Scotland. A well written story and it seems much more modern than its provenance. Peter Forbes is a wonderful narrator who does justice to any novel, but particularly to those involving the many different Scottish accents and dialects, which he articulates so well.
