Book excerpt: After Kirstin Croft becomes involved in an unfortunate occurrence with a petrifying man, she scurries away from him in fear. It is only when a solicitor and family friend comes to her home that night to address the sudden matter, that he also states the man was no other than Lachlan Bateson. Lachlan, leader of the Bateson Clan, and the most feared and respected of the northern highlands wants Kirstin to serve him as a servant in his home out of payment for the embarrassment she had caused him within her town, and out of respect. Having little money, and with his push of bribery upon her father, Kirstin has no choice. As Kirstin serves the most feared Highlander of the northern lands, she soon realizes that he is not as rough as he always appears to be. Lachlan begins behaving differently around her, doing things for her, and even caring for her. It does not take long for Kirstin to wonder if she was brought to his home for more than just the reasons he told her. Though, time passes and tensions grow between the Ruskin clan, which borders Lachlan's land. Things only grow worse as the leader of the clan grows fond of Kirstin and seeing her on her daily trips to town. How long will it be until he attacks, claiming what he desires most?

Download or read book Burt s Letters written by Edmund Burt and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1730, Edmund Burt was sent to Scotland to work as a contractor for the government. For most of the time, he was based in Inverness, from where he wrote regularly to an acquaintance in London about his experiences. Burt had an insatiable curiosity about everything. From cooking and personal hygiene (the standards of which continually shocked him), to weddings, funerals, public executions and even the activities of witches, no aspect of Highland life or society escaped his scrutiny. Burt's witty and satirical style makes entertaining reading, but whilst he was certainly critical of many things, he draws a very sympathetic picture of the grinding hardship and poverty faced by so much of the ordinary population. His writing is a salutary antidote to many of the Romantic views of the Highlands and Jacobitism, which were later to take hold. It is now available for the first time in one volume, with modernised spelling and includes an Introduction by Charles W. J. Withers, Professor of Geography in the University of Edinburgh.
