A first go!!? A right brilliant one I'd say. Where were my ancestors at that time? Way north of your clan, but we'd not have let.it lie crosswise between us.
I have to mention a small bump in the read: “he slowed to a walk”, I had to look back and see if I could find some indication that Jamie had been jogging. And failed to find any.
What can I say, a great tale and well told. Tough times. Border reivers I presume?
Yes, my distant ancestors. Turnbull = cattle thief.
Good to have interesting ancestors! We visited Castle Howard once and I said I might be related, so could I get in free. He wasn't amused!
A braw first go Ronald. Looking forward to your next and hoping it won’t be o’er lang a wait. 🙂🙏
Short fiction every 10 weeks. Next historical who can say? I'm a nonfiction bloke really!

Damn fine piece. I look forward to your next bit of fiction.

Fair enough. Also I feel Duncan should admire Jamie's hillcraft rather than his spear skills given their shared love of the country is a (the) theme.
First attempt?! I'm a sucker for historical fiction! Loved it!
