Redgauntlet (1824) is a historical novel by Sir Walter Scott, set in Dumfries, Scotland in 1765. Described by Magnus Magnusson as "in a sense, the most autobiographical of Scott's novels,"(a point first made by Andrew Lang) it describes the beginnings of a fictional third Jacobite Rebellion.
It includes "Wandering Willie's Tale", a famous short story which frequently appears in anthologies.
The novel's hero is a young man named Darsie Latimer. Early in the novel he is kidnapped by Edward Redgauntlet, and taken to a village in Dumfries. Darsie's friend Alan Fairford sets out to rescue him. After much intrigue Darsie discovers that Redgauntlet is his uncle, and he is also reunited with his sister. He also discovers that a number of prominent Jacobites, and Prince Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie or the Young Pretender) himself are staying in the village. Redgauntlet has summoned them all to start a new Jacobite rebellion, and he wants Darsie to join them. Redgauntlet discovers that his fellow Jacobites are not as committed as he, and their stated objection is that they suspect the Prince's mistress, Clementina Walkinshaw, of being a spy. During these discussions, General Campbell arrives amongst them to announce that he and the government know what the conspirators are up to. The Prince is allowed to go into exile, and his followers peacefully disperse. Redgauntlet, seeing that the Jacobite cause is now lost, joins the Prince in exile. Darsie is set free having always remained loyal to the current king, and Alan marries Darsie's sister.
