In 1704 Colin MacColl of Ardcoll, the eldest son and heir to An Colin Mor, Chief of Clan Colin, returned to his father's castle, the castle of Duncolin in West Ross, after an enforced absence of three years.
He found his father a caricature of his former self, having suffered an injury to his head, and that his younger brother, Cormac, had usurped his position as heir. It had been reported that Colin was dead. Cormac had been handfasted with Marsala Macleod who had previously been betrothed to Colin.
Colin set about recovering his inheritance and his betrothed using all his guile, influence and energy.
The story brings us to all the squabbling, plotting and fighting of the Highland clans in the days before they were subjected to an English rule.
