In the course of his long poem An irce, The Ark, the Jacobite poet Alexander MacDonald shows the Campbells being subjected to trial by water for the part they played in defeating Prince Charless army in 17456. Some will be drowned outright, he says, some just given a good ducking and some will be honourably treated. He names forty individuals; Ronald Black puts their lives and deeds under the microscope to see how far they deserved their allotted fate.
