Upon the death of his father, young David Balfour leaves his home in the Scottish Lowlands and sets off for the House of Shaws to claim his inheritance from his uncle Ebenezer. But the sinister old miser, having failed in his attempts to kill him, plots to have David kidnapped and shipped into slavery in America. With the help of daring Jacobite rebel Alan Breck, David escapes from the ship. And so begins a series of hair-raising adventures as together they face a desperate journey across the Scottish moors.

Historical fact and fantastic adventure are grippingly intertwined in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation. Running Time: 3 hours and 15 minutes."
