"The Flight of the Heron" by D. K. Broster is a historical novel first published in 1925. Set during the Jacobite rising of 1745, it follows an unlikely friendship between Ewen Cameron, a Highland chieftain fighting for the Jacobite cause, and Keith Windham, an English officer in the Government army.
