Review of 1820

It's no longer 1820 but The Weaver's Tale a historical tale based on the events around my old area in 1820. At school, I heard all about Henry VII of England and how astute he was, although he had nothing to do with Scotland except that his daughter married well and the result was a grandson, James VI, who took over from the other Elizabeth. What I didn't hear about was the ruction in our own district labelled The Last Armed Insurrection on Mainland Britain with banners calling for Scotland Free or a Desert. Hardly something you'd miss! I've dragged the hero of Drover and his shepherd Deaf Davie into it all and it doesn't look bad, just needs some TLC to bring it alive.
