Catriona is a novel written by Robert Louis Stevenson, which serves as a sequel to his previous work, Kidnapped. The story is set in 1751, two years after the events of Kidnapped, and follows the adventures of David Balfour as he returns to Scotland from his travels in Europe. Upon his return, David becomes embroiled in a political conspiracy involving the Jacobite rising of 1745, and finds himself caught between the British authorities and the Scottish rebels.David's journey is further complicated by his love for Catriona Drummond, a young woman who becomes entangled in the same political intrigue. Despite the challenges they face, David and Catriona must navigate their way through the dangerous landscape of 18th-century Scotland and fight for their freedom and their love.Stevenson's Catriona is a thrilling adventure story that combines elements of historical fiction, romance, and political intrigue. It is a masterful sequel to Kidnapped, and a classic of Scottish literature that continues to captivate readers today.THE 25th day of August, 1751, about two in the afternoon, I, David Balfour, came forth of the British Linen Company, a porter attending me with a bag of money, and some of the chief of these merchants bowing me from their doors.
