Largie Castle

Mary C Gladstone, a descendent of high Tories, offers her take on the life and death of her Macdonald uncle, in a non-fiction “Scottish Downton Abbey”, as it were, a sequel really to bring us into the present. The Laird-to-be and an aide to the generals during the defeat of Singapore died twice, the second 

time through slander by a jackal. Recreating her uncle’s life and adding to the British narrative in all its layered and colorful complexity, this book is the first of a series.
