Description
Violet Jacob's novel, published by John Murray in London in 1911, is set among the grazing lands of Angus, north of the Sidlaws. Her author's note denies that it is an historical novel and that any principal person in it is historic. She grants one truth: the taking of the ship, and the manner of its taking, really happened.
The book opens with Duthie, a minister, walking up the hill to Ardguys, the house of Madam Flemington, set above the Kilpie burn where it runs toward the river Isla. The chapters promise a coach-and-five, treachery, the guns of Montrose, and a winter parting of the ways. Later titles include Inchbrayock, the Muir of Pert, and A Royal Duke, and an epilogue closes the tale.
