Maggie Craig invites you to a Jacobite Tea, where she will talk about the history
behind Scotland's love of afternoon tea, the role the cup that cheers played in
the Rising of 1745, and the sometimes surprising things the Jacobites ate and drank.
Tea and shortbread will be served.

Maggie Craig is the acclaimed Scottish writer of the groundbreaking Damn'
Rebel Bitches: The Women of the '45, its companion volume Bare-Arsed Banditti:
The Men of the '45, and several page-turning historical novels set in
Glasgow and Edinburgh. When the Clyde Ran Red tells the true story of the
years when passionate politics and towering personalities swept like a whirlwind
through Glasgow and Clydeside.
