Tricked by the uncle who has stolen his
inheritance, young David Balfour is kidnapped and bound for America. Or
at least that was the plan, until the ship runs into trouble and David
is rescued by Alan Breck Stewart, fugitive Jacobite and, by his own
admission, a ‘bonny fighter’. Balfour, a canny lowlander, finds an echo
of some wilder and more romantic self in the wilful and courageous
Highland spirit of Alan Breck. A strange and difficult friendship is
born, as their adventures begin.
Kidnapped has become a classic of historical romance the world over and is justly famous as a novel of travel and adventure in the Scottish landscape. Stevenson’s vivid descriptive powers were never better than in his account of remote places and dangerous action in the Highlands in the years after Culloden.
