A stag's antlers gleam in the Highland mist, yet the true quarry is not the beast, but the very code of honour that binds men together-and sets them at odds. In the wild heart of 1920s Scotland, three restless, middle-aged protagonists-each wearied by the trappings of success-forge an audacious pact: to outwit the lairds of the great Scottish estates by poaching under a shared disguise. What begins as a mischievous challenge soon becomes a test of wit, courage, and identity, drawing them into a world where tradition and rebellion collide. Set against the sweeping landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, this adventure novel pulses with the tension of pursuit, the thrill of disguise, and the subtle interplay of class, loyalty, and shifting political tides. Long celebrated as a cornerstone of Scottish literature, this tale captures the spirit of a nation grappling with change-where the old hunting traditions clash with the modern world, and the line between right and wrong is as elusive as a stag at dusk. Its deft exploration of Scottish political themes and its wry take on the foibles of the privileged make it as relevant today as when it first captivated readers. For lovers of Scottish adventure fiction and those who savour John Buchan novels, it offers not only suspense and wit but a window into the social fabric of a bygone era. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations, ensuring that its rich tapestry of intrigue and camaraderie endures. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, inviting both casual readers and classic-collection buyers to rediscover the enduring magic of the Scottish Highlands.
