The story centralizes around Sir Keith Macleod, the last surviving son of Lady Macleod, as he prepares to leave his home at Castle Dare for London. The narrative explores themes of family, duty, and the contrast between the wildness of the Scottish Highlands and the sophistication of urban society. The opening of the novel introduces us to Castle Dare, illuminating the emotional weight that Lady Macleod carries as she bids farewell to her only remaining son, Keith. Surrounded by memories of her other sons who have fallen in battle, she is proud yet sorrowful as Keith embraces his youthful spirit, ready for adventure. The poignant moment is heightened by their cousin Janet's efforts to maintain a sense of cheerfulness despite the family's grief. As the scene progresses, Keith’s spirited nature becomes evident through his dialogue and interactions with the people around him, including the piper and his dear cousin Janet, who worry about his departure. The contrasting emotions set the stage for his journey away from the familiar rugged beauty of Mull into the bustling life of London, suggesting the intertwining of their fates as they navigate matters of heart and heritage.
