They conquered the highlands.

But on the moor, something waited… to curse and conquer them.

1746, Scotland.

The redcoat forces of King George II have defeated the Highland rebels led by Bonnie Prince Charlie. Now Government troops are free to plunder and punish the locals.

To avoid court martial, Captain Shawwood is ordered to lead a band of troops and map-makers to chart the most isolated and mysterious landscape of the Highlands – the mighty Rannoch Moor.

But the Moor is home to more than just bog and heather, it's a place of shadows and secrets. Before long, their expedition comes face to face with uncanny forces far greater than anything they have fought before. Even when Captain Shawwood accepts the shelter of Ishbel, a young Highland woman, he and his men still cannot escape the world of terror and vengeful desire into which they have strayed.

After his award-winning adaptations of Charles Dickens and Treasure Island, Marty Ross brings you a haunting tale of horror and dark romance. Narrated by Chris Reilly (Slow Horses) and Shirley Henderson (Dept. Q) The Dead of Rannoch Moor will take you to a landscape of terrifying mystery and beauty.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

This production contains scenes of warfare, violence and sexual assault.

I really enjoyed listening to this book, stumbling on it on Halloween day! its dark, moody, well written and perfectly read. As long as you can stand the (in my humble opinion, too graphic) rape scenes - it is an excellent listen, especially on a wet, windy night!

this is a fantastic ghost story

Really enjoyed this. Chris Reilly's narration was outstanding and that really drew me in and helped me to see the men on the moor as individuals, each responding to the terror around them in their own ways. Reilly handled accents well and was confident with Scots and Gaelic words. Great soundscape in the background too.

Absorbing historical horror

I was glued to this from the outset, I had expected a historical drama but got a fantastic ghost story instead. Readers are excellent too, highly recommend.

Unexpectedly brilliant

The female narrator let this story down for me. So much of her dialogue was intelligible.
A shame, as although the story is extremely bloody, crude and violent it kept my interest.
