It's 1292, and a lay brother from Brechin, Scotland is sent to France to learn the new music - music that was being sung for the first time in harmony. On his return, he is caught up in Scotland's fight for freedom and finds himself one of the band of followers of William Wallace, staying with him from his early skirmishes to the Battle of Falkirk. But he had left behind one woman, his first woman and his only woman. To her he returned. In this fictional account of the time, the author has tried to keep the story as close as possible to contemporary historians' real view of the Wallace saga. But it is a yarn - a yarn of one man's learning and one man's yearning. A yarn of Scotland's past and one man's possible part in it.
