"John Graham of Claverhouse, 1st Viscount Dundee (c. 21 July 1648? 27 July 1689), known as the 7th Laird of Claverhouse until raised to the viscountcy in 1688, was a Scottish soldier and nobleman, a Tory and a Episcopalian. Claverhouse was responsible for policing south-west Scotland during and after the religious unrest and rebellion of the 1670s and 80s."--Wikipedia.

John Grahame of Claverhouse is to some a charming and cultured man and military tactician, to others a demonic and brutal killer slain at the Battle of Killiecrankie. This work charts the life of one of Scotland's most charismatic characters.
