The Sixth Cask by Webster Simpson

An old man’s chance discovery throws new light on a tragic tale from 250 years ago. The Year is 1746. The fateful Battle of Culloden has been won and lost. Bonnie Prince Charlie is a fugitive in the Highlands of Scotland pay the price of defeat. French help in the form of arms and money arrive, but too late. Two French ships creep into the bay on the west coast under cover of a sea- mist and unload six casks full of gold coins. Five are buried. The record of what happens to the sixth is told in this tale of adventure, courage, loyalty and hardship set in the rugged Highlands of Scotland.
