Publication: Edinburgh, John Donald Publishers Ltd, 1998

Formatting: 8vo, pp. xvi, 543.

Condition Report: Very Good. The binding remains structurally sound and entirely tight, supporting a pristine, uncreased spine that strongly suggests the volume has seen little to no reading wear. The glossy card wrappers retain their vibrant colour, though they exhibit trivial edge-wear and a slight, gentle outward curl to the front cover's fore-edge corners, which keeps the book from a Fine grading. The textblock is square and cleanly pressed, displaying only the faint, uniform age-toning typical of this paper stock, and is entirely free of foxing or internal spotting. There are no former ownership signatures or inscriptions, presenting a highly attractive, sharp copy overall.

Catalogue Note: This is the revised reprint and first paperback edition of Hopkins’ definitive text, originally published in hardcover format. The front cover features a striking reproduction of James Hamilton's 19th-century painting, The Massacre of Glencoe.

This comprehensive, meticulously researched scholarly work is well-supplied with detailed regional maps and exhaustive academic notes. While not exceptionally rare on the open market, this specific paperback edition is relatively uncommon, particularly when found in such crisp, uncreased condition.

Set against the turbulent political backdrop of late seventeenth-century Scotland, Paul Hopkins' monumental work provides the most exhaustive account of the 1692 Massacre of Glencoe. Moving far beyond the immediate tragedy, Hopkins meticulously traces the intricate web of Jacobite loyalties, clan rivalries, and government machinations, framing the massacre as part of a wider, covert campaign to reshape Scottish politics and break the highland aristocracy's grip on national power.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
