How They Held the Bass for King James--1691-1693 recounts one of the boldest episodes in the Jacobite struggle, where four men, once prisoners on a lonely rock fortress in the Firth of Forth, turned captivity into rebellion. The Bass Rock, often used to imprison those loyal to the Covenant, had seen hymns echo off its cliffs as prisoners clung to faith within cold, damp stone. But in 1691, that somber silence was shattered when Halyburton, Middleton, Roy, and young Dunbar, imprisoned there under grim…-

Chapter
The Promise of Helen
The Promise of Helen opens with the soft echo of a vow reaching beyond time, as a voice calls out not only to a woman once lost but to an entire era of romance thought buried. It speaks not just to Helen, the individual, but to a spirit once believed gone—of love unbound by death, of memory refusing silence. In this vision, the beloved rises again, not from the grave in sorrow, but in radiance, drawn back by the sheer strength of devotion. The passage is less concerned with realism than with the deep…-

Chapter
The Fairy Minister
The Fairy Minister steps quietly into history during the troubled year of 1692, where conflict raged at Killiecrankie and lives were lost to both sword and political betrayal. Yet in Aberfoyle, away from bloodied fields, Reverend Robert Kirk walked in peace among mossy hills, believed to be touched by something more delicate and ancient than war. Revered by his congregation and, curiously, beloved by the Fairies, Kirk spent his final days in quiet communion with the unseen. Legends grew from his deep…-

The Tournay of the Heroes
The Tournay of the Heroes begins with a horn’s cry that summons not just warriors but the very soul of storytelling across centuries.

Roland of Roncesvaux, echoing the trumpet of Charlemagne’s battles, joins hands with Wilfred of Ivanhoe, whose code of loyalty still gleams beneath his chainmail.

Ballad of the Philanthropist
Ballad of the Philanthropist begins in a place where peace reigned so steadily, it became nearly unbearable for one man sworn to uphold the law. Pomona Road and its adjoining gardens stood as an exemplar of domestic civility—each house adorned with floral perfection, each resident attuned to quiet harmony. Chapels echoed softly on Sunday mornings, not a single public house disrupted the order, and disputes, if any, never rose above whispered discontent. But amid this polished calmness walked B. 13, a…-

Notes
Notes opens a window into a rich tapestry of shared legacy between France and Scotland, woven through the story of Jeanne d’Arc. Her military campaign at Lagny, where she triumphed over the Burgundians under Franquet d’Arras, gains added depth when her Scottish connections are considered. One remarkable detail is the possibility that her iconic banner was created by a Scottish artist, perhaps a James Polwarth or someone from the Hume family. This visual symbol, which accompanied her into battle,…-

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
A Border Boyhood
A Border Boyhood awakens with the soft pull of memory—an evocation of landscapes etched not just in geography, but in the heart. The rivers Yarrow, Ettrick, and Tweed are not merely waterways, but vessels of story, carrying the dreams and echoes of childhood past. Even when one walks beneath foreign skies or lies under unfamiliar earth, the memory of those Border lands persists, gentle and enduring. The hush of the streams, the scent of old heather, and the gleam of foxglove in the dusk are not…-

Loch Awe–The Boatman’s Yarns
Loch Awe--The Boatman's Yarns begins not with a cast but with the recognition that true fishing in Scotland demands patience, travel, and a willingness to seek solitude far from crowded banks. South of the Pentland Firth, angling grows scarce, spoiled by overuse and proximity to urban sprawl. But Loch Awe, though touched by time and tourism, remains a place where the rhythm of water still beats slowly. It is not untouched—railways and lodges have left their mark—but it still offers quiet for those…-
