This novelisation is based on the original television serial TV: The Highlanders, written by Gerry Davis and Elwyn Jones and shown from 17 December 1966.
The cover and information on the right are for the original Target edition which features the artwork of Nick Spender. (See below for information on editions published with different covers).
Publisher's summary
History books don't always tell the whole story. Certainly there is no record of an episode that occurred when the Scots, led by Bonnie Prince Charlie, were defeated by the English at the Battle of Culloden in 1746...
And the presence at the time of a blue police box on the Scottish moors seems to have escaped the notice of most eye-witnesses....
THE HIGHLANDERS sets the record straight. And while the incidents described may not be of great interest to historians, for Jamie McCrimmon they mark the beginning of a series of extraordinary adventures.
