The Memoirs of John Ker of Kersland are a first-hand account of the life of the Scottish double agent, John Ker. Ker aligned himself to both the Jacobites and the Hanoverians during the 18th-century political turmoil in Great Britain. These memoirs recount Ker’s various dealings and self-defensive justifications, framing his choices in a Protestant light while seeking to validate a career built on conflicting loyalties.
