In the 18th century shotgun weddings were not unusual, but in most cases it wasn't the bride that was holding the gun. So began the stormy marriage between Lord and Lady Grange, a marriage which was to end with Lady Grange's death on the Isle of Skye after 13 years in exile. The daughter of a convicted murderer, Lady Grange's behaviour, such as her fondness for drink, was so outrageous that her sudden disappearance from public life was not considered surprising. But few knew the true story of her disappearance. This book reveals, for the first time, how the unfortunate lady was violently kidnapped and transported to the remote islands off the west coast of Scotland, spending seven years on the island of St. Kilda's. Condemned to a very different lifestyle than she had enjoyed in Edinburgh, and baffled by the strange tongue of the Gaelic West, she still obstinately survived, finally dying in Skye in 1745.

5.0 out of 5 stars St. Kilda
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2015
This is the story of Rachel Chiesley (1679-1745) who became through marriage Lady Grange in 1707. In 25 years she had 10 children but in 1732 she was abducted on her husbands orders and transported to St. Kilda an island outpost furthest from Scotland where she was held or on other islands till the died after 13 years without rescue.
There are various theories as to Lord Granges (a law lord) actions including her threat to disclose his association with the Jacobites and her riotous and unseemly actions.
A well written story with some good illustratioons.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark Doings in Old Reekie
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2013

A very interesting subject dealt with carefully. The very rough end meeted out by society to ladies who tried to take control of their lives in the 18th Century is shown here.

Lady Grange fell out with her husband of 25 years over his mistress.She threatened him with the disclosure of his illicit jacobite dealings if he did not return to her. He cliped to his jacobite chums and they sent her to the very back of beyond (St Kilda, Skye etc - places which are not an easy journey today but were a nightmare in the 18th century) to live out her life as a captive until death.

Reading a book on St Kilda (having been there many years ago, I read of Lady Grange and wanted to know more. This book gave me that further information. However, there is a lot of information that is obviously lost to history.

Not quite what I expected, more about the clans and not so much about her!
