ANNOUNCING A NEW PUBLICATION ON THE 'FORTY-FIVE ! 1995 and 1996, the 250th anniversary years of the 'Forty-Five Rising, have seen substantial new publications on the Rising. Anyone with an interest in the 'Forty-Five, the Jacobite Movement, Eighteenth Century Scotland, or Military History will welcome Alan Gibson Macpherson's A DAY'S MARCH TO RUIN, a documentary narrative of the Badenoch Men in the 'Forty-Five and biography of Col. Ewan Macpherson of Cluny, 1706-1764.

Alan Macpherson, a Professor of Historical Geography (retired) at the Memorial University of Newfoundland in St John's, is the author of

• "The Posterity of the Three Brethren, a Short History of the Clan Macpherson" (1966, revised in 1976, 1985, 1993);
• "An Old Highland Genealogy and the evolution of a Scottish clan", Scottish Studies, Vol.10, no.1, 1966;
• "An Old Highland Parish Register: survivals of clanship and social change in Laggan, Inverness-shire, 1775-1854", Scottish Studies, Vols 11 and 12, 1967 and 1968; and
• "Migration Fields in a traditional Highland community, 1350-1850", Jour. of Hist. Geography, Vol.10 (1), 1984.

Launched at the 50th (Jubilee) Gathering of the Clan Macpherson Association in Badenoch, Inverness-shire, Scotland, in August 1996, A DAY'S MARCH TO RUIN is focussed upon the person of Ewan of Cluny, a significant figure in the events leading up to the Rising, a Highland colonel active in the Rising itself, and a Jacobite agent and exile in its tragic aftermath. It also highlights a regimental history - the first for any of the Jacobite regiments involved in the Rising - complete with an annotated muster roll of the Badenoch men. Cluny's Regiment was distinguished by the numerous special missions carried out during its period of service.

Bound in an attractive laminated soft-cover, A DAY'S MARCH TO RUIN is a substantial volume, running to 318 pages, including 9 maps and 7 contemporary prints.
