Reviews for Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Making of a Myth
"Mr. Nicholson's fruitfully eclectic methodology enables him to deal insightfully with both 'high' and 'low' art. He takes full advantage of his position as curator of the Drambuie Liqueur Company (Edinburgh) collection of Scottish and Jacobite art."
