From the Author
Loved Braveheart? In The Scotsman, the hero survives.Are you one of those who loved Braveheart and wept at the cruel ending? It was true, and history should always be reported correctly. Already a lover of Scottish history, and with one book about Scotland's fight for independence already published, I wanted to try it again. Writing The Scotsman was both emotional and cathartic for me. I had to relive those times while writing and researching, and do my best to convey what it must have been like to my readers. I hope I succeeded. I hope that, like me, you will stand upon a Bannockburn hill, with Stirling Castle rising in the distance, and understand at last the raw courage and fierce national pride the Scots who fought and died with Robert Bruce felt...and I also hope that you will understand there were two sides in that war, with the Englishmen who fought under King Edward believing just as much in their own cause.
