Jacobite Rebellion

Theme: Jacobite Rebellion (Scotland, 1745)
Are you prepared to run it? Yes
Suggested books, if you have them already:

I don't know the period well, but here are three widely variant ones I know of:

* Diana Gabaldon, Outlander -- modern (1990s?) time travel novel/historical romance, kind of trashy but fun.
* D. K. Broster's Jacobite Trilogy -- early 20th century, rather slashy
* Sir Walter Scott, Waverley -- available as ebook, considered to be the first Historical Novel.
