Quotes 

• Lord Advocate : Mr. Balfour, a great issue hangs on this. An innocent man's life. Thousands of innocent lives. Lives that are mine to protect.

  David Balfour : I understand that.

  Lord Advocate : But you do not understand the position. The highlanders can be ruled only through the Campbells, and one has been foully murdered, on Stewart ground, at that. Have they no right to justice?

  David Balfour : Yes, my Lord, but not to vengeance.

• Lord Advocate : Hmm. You still wish to state that you walked to James Stewart's, in the company of a notorious rebel?

  David Balfour : Would you have me perjure myself and deny it?

  Lord Advocate : Mr. Balfour, I tell you pointedly, you go an ill way for your own interests.

  David Balfour : My Lord, we are both here to see justice done.

• Lord Advocate : [to David Balfour]  I feel sorry for Alan Breck. The future of Scotland belongs more to James Stewart dead, then it does to him. He dreams of new Culloden's! Better he to die on the field of battle than to end his days in some squalid French tenement.
