Burke's Peerage has been pleased to sponsor and publish a series of Scottish heritage titles from the Prestoungrange Arts Festival in Prestonpans, a small community 10 miles east of Edinburgh on the Forth which has the distinction of the first coal mining charter in the United Kingdom and of playing a leading role in the Scottish pottery industry in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was also the site of HRH Prince Charles Edward's [Bonnie Prince Charlie] decisive Jacobite victory in September 1745 over the Hanoverian King George II of Scotland and England although his campaign ultimately ended in defeat at Culloden in April 1746.
This series of scholarly titles addresses that historical legacy much of which is also being retold in the town's public murals programme.
