The opening introduces the historical context of the clan-based struggles in Scotland and the tensions brewing over support for King Charles against the Parliamentarians. Young Menteith rides through the picturesque yet dangerous landscape, discussing the uncertain loyalties of Scottish leaders with his companions.
