Duncan's Timeline: 1700-46
The first half of the 18th Century sees Duncan struggle with Scotland's increasing lack of independence at the hands of the English, culminating in the Battle of Culloden and its bloody aftermath. He also finds time to get married (and separated) - what a busy bee...

1712
Duncan and his blushing bride Duncan witnesses a mortal friend die, this time to Immortal Paul Kinman, while he is a Scottish Emissary to the court of Queen Anne. (D8, 'Reluctant Heroes').

He also encounters Amanda again in Constantinople, and ends a busy year travelling with Connor in Ireland, where he encounters his future wife Kate for the first time (Endgame).

1715
Duncan and Kate are married in Ireland. Connor tells him that Kate's latent Immortality can only be triggered by a violent death. Unable to contemplate an existence where Kate grows old and dies, Duncan decides to stab Kate on their wedding night so they can love each other forever. Her reaction is to run out on him - understandable considering... (Endgame)

1745
Duncan returns to Scotland to fight for the cause of the Young Pretender, Bonnie Prince Charlie, alongside his Immortal friends Warren Cochrane and Ceirdwyn (C17, 'Take Back the Night'; D18, 'Through The Glass, Darkly').

Ceirdwyn manages to persuade him to end his murderous ways, resulting in him leaving Britain on a 40-year wandering tour to the Far East and back (C17, 'Take Back The Night').
