To the Reader
To the Reader, in Chapter 2 of "Worldly Ways and Byways," the author reflects on a past diplomatic custom known as the Pele Mele, a practice meant to resolve the constant disputes over precedence among courtiers and diplomats. This system, likely conceived by an overburdened Master of Ceremonies, sought to nullify rank and eliminate the usual formalities of social gatherings, creating an environment where one's position at an event was determined by wit or chance rather than status. The Pele Mele resulted…-

The Yarn of the Black Officer
The Yarn of the Black Officer begins with the echo of boots on stone and a name that stirs caution rather than reverence. The Black Officer, whose legend blends soldierly duty with dark mystique, first emerged during the 18th-century enlistment drives of the Black Watch. He moved through glens with a deceptive promise—that the men who followed him would merely march before the King in London. Instead, their destination was not ceremonial but colonial—India, far from home and riddled with conflict. The…-

The Double Alibi
The Double Alibi takes shape in a remote glen, where the land lies mostly forgotten by travelers and the silence carries the weight of untold stories. In this untouched corner of Western Galloway, solitude is not just present—it is total. The narrator, drawn there not for trout or company but for peace to work on a manuscript, finds solace in the shepherd’s house.

Chapter
The Confessions of a Duffer
The Confessions of a Duffer begins not with triumph but with cheerful resignation. The narrator, utterly lacking in angling finesse, accepts his place at the bottom of the fishing hierarchy with both humor and honesty. Unlike those who cast with precision or boast of trophy catches, he stumbles through rivers and mishandles his gear with an almost admirable consistency. His flies are stored not in tidy cases but in whatever book or pocket happens to be nearby. Essential tools are always forgotten, often…-

Chapter
The Bloody Doctor
The Bloody Doctor begins with a recollection as sharp as the breeze skimming the loch’s surface—where triumph is rare, but every cast carries hope.

It’s not the ease of the catch that draws anglers, but the purity of the challenge. Even on days when lines come back empty, the promise of wild fish gliding under…-

Sports, Then And Now
Sports, then and now, have evolved significantly over time, transforming into the high-energy, highly competitive events we know today. The rules of football, for instance, were first codified in England in 1863 by the Football Association, marking the birth of modern football.
