344 The trial and execution of Lord Lovat are covered in many of the news-sheets for March and April 1747, in the contemporary ‘Lives of Lord Lovat’ in the

, Vol. 18. I have recreated this last act of Lovat’s dramatic life from these, respecting the bias of the writer while trying to see Lovat at the centre of the often conflicting versions of events.
