In the fishing town of Portlossie on the north-east coast of Scotland, young Malcolm lives with his grandfather, the blind Highland piper Duncan Macphail, and wins the notice of the new Marquis of Lossie and his daughter Lady Florimel. Gossip, a sinister midwife, a gentle mad laird and the schoolmaster Alexander Graham all circle a mystery about who Malcolm really is.
