I was intrigued the moment I read it included Scottish dialect. Having researched this I wanted to read a story where it was included.  I enjoyed the historical events and those of daily life, all adding authenticity.  The intimate scenes provided an voyeur view of the life and times. The characters are real as you step into their world to experience an earthy lifestyle in a not-to-distant past. The storyline flowed without a misstep or excess baggage. I couldn't put it down, thoroughly enjoying my visit into this time in history and Gideon's world. I would have liked to learn of Gideon's roots, suspecting it royal, and kept waiting for mention of William (Braveheart), but all was well as is.  With editing and format polish the story could easily be among one of the foremost historical novels of Scotland. I highly recommend it and will certainly look for more from this author.I was provided a copy in return for an honest review.
