Elcho's Journal, written in French during his exile, lay largely neglected at Wemyss Castle until rescued by the late Hon. Alice Wemyss. It is the last yet major source for history of the rising, and describes how Elcho was ensnared into Jacobitism, the course of the '45, including his famous row with the Prince after Culloden and his escape from Scotland. It offers a vivid picture of life in Ancient Regime Europe where he lived in some style until his death.Elcho's Journal, written in French during his exile, lay largely neglected at Wemyss Castle until rescued by the late Hon.
