The
TARDIS lands on a Scottish moor 1746 near the battlefield of Culloden,
which has just seen the English defeat the Scots of Bonnie Prince Charlie.
The Doctor and his friends come upon a group of hunted Highlanders led
by clan laird Colin McLaren and his daughter Kirsty and faithful piper
Jamie McCrimmon. The Highlanders and the time travelers are captured
by English Lieutenant Algernon Ffinch. At the English camp a crooked
solicitor named Gary is working on a scheme to transport prisoners to
slavery in the West Indies. The Doctor escapes and gets arms to
the Scottish prisoners, who are being held aboard a stolen ship.
Gary and the Captain are overpowered and the ship returned to its owner,
who takes the Scots to safety in France. The TARDIS dematerializes
with an extra passenger - Jamie.
