Summary "Donald Ross of Heimra" by William Black is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins with Mary Stanley, a young woman who unexpectedly inherits a Highland estate in Scotland. As she embarks on her journey to her new home, she is filled with aspirations of improving the lives of the crofters and addressing their grievances. However, her idealistic visions are met with harsh realities that challenge her optimistic intentions. The opening of the novel introduces Mary Stanley and her friend Kate Glendinning as they travel to Invershin station, filled with excitement and determination. Mary is motivated by her desire to right the wrongs she has heard about concerning the Highland tenants, but her initial impressions of the estate reveal a more complex and prosperous place than she expected. As they drive towards their new home, they encounter various characters, including David Purdie, the factor managing the estate. The stark contrast between Mary's high hopes and the actual conditions of the land sets the stage for conflicts that will arise over the course of the story, particularly as she grapples with the legacy of the previous estate owner and the attitudes of both the tenants and the factor.
