Lady of the Glen
''Lady of the Glen: A Novel of 17th-Century Scotland and the Massacre of Glencoe'' is a 1996 historical fiction novel by American author Jennifer Roberson. It is a re-telling of the 1692 Massacre of Glencoe, and focuses on the romance between Catriona of Clan Campbell and Alasdair Og MacDonald of Clan Donald, each from rival clans.
Roberson was inspired to write the novel after learning of the massacre in a British history class, and waited 25 years until she felt ready to tell it. ''Lady of the Glen'' was published by Kensington Books in April 1996, with cover art by book illustrator Anne Yvonne Gilbert. A German translation was released in 2001.
==Plot summary==
The novel is set amidst the background of the 1692 Massacre of Glencoe, which was ordered by King William III.〔 Catriona of Clan Campbell, daughter of the laird Glenlyon, falls in love with Alasdair Og MacDonald, a member of a rival clan. Their love must endure the political machinations of King William and the Jacobites. In August 1691, William offers all Highland clans a pardon for their part in the Jacobite Uprising, as long as they took an oath of allegiance before 1 January 1692 in front of a magistrate. Alasdair struggles greatly to meet this deadline, as the message reached its recipients in mid-December, in difficult winter conditions, only a few weeks before the deadline. The tension of this political situation is mirrored by the fraught romance of Catriona and Alasdair.
