In a wild glen on the border of highlands and lowlands, the impoverished laird of Castle Warlock and his son Cosmo live on in a half-ruined house where barley, oats and heather outnumber the money. The novel follows Cosmo from the castle kitchen and the village school to manhood, among faithful servants, old legends of hidden wealth and a father whose goodness outweighs his debts.
