Ranald, son of the parish minister in a northern Scottish valley, loses his mother young and is raised among farm folk, the old nurse Kirsty and the village school. He hears tales of the kelpie, rides through winter storms, makes friends and enemies, does wrong and learns forgiveness, telling it all as a grown man looking back.
